Bar Reggio

Surry Hills & Darlinghurst


Many of East Sydney’s celebrated Italian restaurants have closed, but blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Bar Reggio has retained a beautiful budget atmosphere. The walls are plastered with Ferrari flags and Roman murals, and the pasta, pizza, meat and fish dishes have stood the test of time. Closes on Sundays like a proper Italian restaurant should. Adjacent Reggio Lounge has more space.
