Bar Totti’s

Located in Sydney’s bustling Ivy precinct, Bar Totti’s is dedicated to delicious, but laid back, Italian dining. Chef Mike Eggert’s menu is simple but uses the finest of ingredients, which means you can graze on warm bread straight out of the wood-fired oven, paired with house-made antipasti including sardines; scallop crudo; marinated peppers; and burrata; as well as grilled snacks like king prawns with chilli and fennel; and haloumi with beetroot, oregano and lemon. Then move on to mains that might include wood-grilled fish, juicy steaks and freshly made pastas. Paired with an Italian wine or cocktail, it’s the perfect place for a long lunch or lazy dinner.

Just like it’s big sister in Bondi, the décor is chic but pared back, with rich timbers and windows that look onto the comings and goings of George Street.
