Owners Mark and Narelle Tognini run this relaxed modern bistro, incorporating an extensive deli and walk-in cheese room. Popular with inner-city dwellers and business folk, it serves gourmet delights to eat in or take out. Sit at one of the communal tables and try potato gnocchi with blue cheese sauce, or maybe sweet corn and chive risotto with grilled Atlantic salmon.
Don’t pass up cinnamon poached pears and vanilla panna cotta — it’s divine. There’s another Tognini’s at Baroona Road, Milton, but this one is more convenient if you’re staying in the city.
