Brisbane Italian Style 
No lire to fly to Rome or Milan? No problem - it is possible to have an authentic Italian experience in Brisbane, if you just know where to go.
La Dolce Vita Restaurant at Park Road is the unofficial Italian heart of Brisbane and a good place to start your tour of Brisbane Italian-Style with l’espresso.
Sirianni’s at The Emporium in Fortitude Valley is a gourmet’s paradiso and the perfect place to pick up picnic provisions. Tony and Rosa Sirianni ensure they stock the best deli lines, including mouth-watering Italian-made cheeses, proscuitto and olives.
New Farm Park is a fitting spot to enjoy them – some of its earliest residents were Italian immigrants starting a new life in Australia.
Apart from food and family, fashion is important in Italian cultural life. For stylish European designs, look no further than Elio Moda in Brisbane. Elio Marzullo is the man behind this classic label, known for its sophisticated men and womens-wear.
The sweet life gets that little bit sweeter at Dolci Sapori in Clayfield. It’s a traditional Italian pastry shop, straight off the streets of Sicily. Authentic cakes and confections are baked daily and served in the café along with Dolci Sapori’s own coffee blend.
To sample the best of Italy, put Italian Week 2008 in your diary. It takes place at South Bank Parklands from 26th May to 2nd June and showcases Italian food, music, fashion and glamorous sports-cars.
And for dedicated Italophiles, the Dante Alighieri Society at Newmarket holds monthly cultural events and regular Italian language courses.
