Cucina di Lusso is the Sydney kitchen of di Lusso Estate, a winery and producer of olive oil and figs in Mudgee. We are both trattoria and enoteca - and now a Wine Bar and Cellar Door too!
Trattoria because we are family owned and run, because we want our clients to become regulars – “part of the family”. Our restaurant food is influenced by cucina alto borghese; the Italian banquet cuisine of landed families. Not fine dining, despite its name -the essential ‘Italianness’ of creative simplicity, seasonality and regionality is always there - but so quite often is the influence of other cultures.
Another important feature is matching the food offering with wine. We think that the well-known crisp acidity of its whites and medium-bodied savouriness of it reds make for Italian varietal wine being uniquely qualified to match Italian food.
We are the Sydney enoteca and cellar door of our Mudgee farm. Di Lusso Estate produces the widest range of Italian varietal wines in Australia. Pinot Grigio and Vermentino are our varietal whites, Sangiovese, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Aglianico our varietal reds, and Picolit and Aleatico our vaietal dessert wines. We also provide, at close to cellar door by both glass or bottle, a Vino Rosato, two red blends and our own ‘vin santo’.
The restaurant uses extensively di Lusso Estate olive oil, mosto cotto, fresh figs in season and fig products year round – all of which can be ordered at the restaurant.
For dinner, we have an Antipasto Menu for those who wish to dine well but light. Our Tasting Italy menus reflect our love of Italy - served true to those ideals, yet with 21st Century style. Each of our dishes is also available a La Carte, and is accompanied by our suggested choice of wines to match the cuisine. Both gluten-free and dairy-free dishes are available.
Our Lunch menu follows the theme of our dinners. Our lunches will be quite trattoria in style and include house-made pizza and pasta, as well dishes such as bagna cauda cream on soft steamed red pepper and house made gnocci. Our fig paste accompanies a range of Italian DOP cheeses.
