Sasso Italiano is Brisbane’s newest neighbourhood Italian bar and trattoria serving unforgettable Italian eats alongside a natural wine and rich Negroni menu. Located in the South City Square precinct, Sasso will serve up family-style old-school Italian in a 110-seat cool and contemporary space – designed to reignite the presence and passion of the USA’s energetic Italian eateries in the 70’s – good food, dim lights, ambience, good times.
Sasso’s seasonal menu has been designed to share – from fresh pastas, exquisite salads, charcuterie, a sizzling grill selection to carefully crafted crudo and an assortment of pizzas, which arrive on the table having been prepared in a bespoke Marana Forni woodfire oven with a deck wrought from Mount Vesuvius lava stone.
“With a specialty Negroni menu, featuring 10 selections, guests can select from six decades of vintage Gordon’s gins, Cinzano Rosso vermouths and Campari options for a birth-year based Negroni.”
Jared Thibault curated Sasso’s drinks experience to effortlessly flow with the tenacious spirit of the venue, featuring natural wines and cocktails alongside a specialised Negroni menu. With more than 10 selections on the list, guests can select from six decades of vintage Gordon’s gins, Cinzano Rosso vermouths and Campari options for a birth-year based Negroni.
For the draught devotees, Sasso will be pouring an extra special tipple with a bespoke beer, Birra Cazino, brewed exclusively for Sasso Italiano. Brewed by the award-winning Aether Brewing, Birra Cazino will be one of the first Italian-style lagers crafted in Australia.
Sasso is the first venue by former Ovolo and QT F&B Directors, Vincent Lombino and Jared Thibault – who have been responsible for some of Australia’s most impressive food and beverage concepts. The duo is set to launch a collection of culinary destinations in the vibrant South City Square precinct by May 2022.
