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.

Relaxed but sophisticated vibes. Perfect place for our celebration meal with a group of mixed ages (85 through to 18) …everyone could hear the conversation. We didn’t feel rushed and our meal was prompt and the service professional. Everybody thought the ribeye on the bone was the hero. Don’t miss out on the octopus with harissa.
