Ganzo

Ganzo draws on traditional Italian food culture by celebrating the joy of sharing locally-sourced, fresh produce together with family and friends.

The restaurant was bustling on the Friday night of our visit. With long, shared tables, platters of delicious offerings and some lovely Italian wine, Ganzo is the ideal venue for families and friends to come together and enjoy some true Italian hospitality.

Alongside their legendary wood-fired oven pizza, the menu features traditional favourites as well as inspired interpretations of the classics.

The house made tagliatelle pasta was gorgeous. Al dente pasta was tossed in an exceedingly flavoursome sauce and melt in the mouth morsels of duck along with mixed mushrooms and finished with dried porcini dust.

Of course any visit to Ganzo would not be complete without one of their amazing pizzas. The Piemont pizza was picture perfect in appearance and outstanding in taste. Aromatic truffle paste, dollops of Fior di latte mozzarella, mixed mushrooms, beautiful 24 month matured San Daniele prosciutto finished with wild rocket created a delightful fusion of flavours that would keep any pizza purist happy. Encircled with a puffy crisp crust, this pizza was superb.

The Diavola pizza was similarly delicious with addictive layers of San Marzano tomato, fior di lat te mozzarella, eggplant, n’duja (spreadable hot salami), sundried tomatoes, and shaved parmigiano.

To finish, make sure you try their perfect tiramisu – simple yet simply delicious.

Transport yourself to a cobbled Naples laneway, the picturesque Tuscan countryside or to a delightful seaside town with one satisfying visit to Ganzo.
