Fratelli Paradiso

Kings Cross & Potts Point


Striking a lovely balance between cosy neighbourhood trattoria and stylish upmarket restaurant, Paradiso offers very fairly priced, super-flavoursome dishes from a short market-driven menu and a welcoming vibe despite prowling fashionistas. The street-side tables are the place to be, whether for morning espresso or night-time feasting; the annexe is a bit less comfy than the main dining room. No bookings.
