Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant. Now with a newly refurbished venue, it offers an unpretentious yet stylish approach to an authentic Italian dining experience.At the forefront it’s about the food: simple, wholesome and traditional without being old fashioned. The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy. Start with an aperitivo to open the palate, enjoy a local or Italian wine varietal and finish with a soothing digestive.Briscola is situated conveniently in the heart of the city near hotels and public transport.Sit inside or alfresco, Briscola seems to suit anyone… families, young couples, group functions and corporate luncheons. You can walk-in, but please book, it gets busy!

My girlfriend and I went here on a date night and ordered the tasting menu. The food was excellent, especially the sirloin, and the service was very good. We will be coming back here again.

6 of us celebrated a 21st at Wilma - we thought it was fantastic. The service / staff were great and food interesting - we opted for the "Feed me" - a Chef's selection of 8 dishes. All beautifully presented - $76pp. We had organised Bombe Alaska at home so didn't stay for dessert, but Honor (server) presented us with 6 small Portugese tarts and a candle. This is the 2nd time we have had staff go out of their way to follow up on a guest comment (previously, they popped across the road to Akiba to get Green Tea as it wasn't available!).
