1889 Enoteca

Ask any Woolloongabba epicure where to score proper Roman fare, and they’ll point you straight to 1889 Enoteca. Vintage old-world charm—think heritage brickwork and a breathtaking subterranean wine cellar. Pure atmosphere. The kitchen doesn't pull punches with its *primi*. Brisbane's discerning carb-loaders are obsessed with the earthy truffle gnocchi and a brilliantly sharp, unapologetically *al dente* cacio e pepe. Start with crisp *fiori di zucca* or the flawlessly plated vitello tonnato swiped through creamy tuna mayo with warm house bread. Generous sharing portions. A knockout wine list. The heated street-side terrace channels serious *la dolce vita* energy, perfectly suited for lingering over a pan-fried snapper with salsa verde. Celebrating an anniversary? The front-of-house team has a charming habit of dropping complimentary dessert wine and house-made biscuits at the table. A flawless slice of Rome, right on Logan Road.
