Not too far from the airport in busy Beverly Hills, is Spago Sydney on King Georges Road. Upon entering, guest’s eyes are first drawn toward a fresco motif spanning one side of the intimate venue, set with dark walnut chairs and white table cloths, where friends and family celebrate beside couples sitting, enjoying a romantic evening. House-made pasta is the hero on an extensive menu boasting tantalising Modern Australian fare with a strong Italian influence, accompanied by a wine list featuring tempting Australian vintages along with select Italian options. If sitting down for lunch, sample the truffle risotto with forest mushroom, cream, Parmesan cheese and truffle oil, or later on in moody lighting, opt for squid ink spaghetti with blue swimmer crab, garlic, chilli, tomato and lime.
