Antica

Wilston’s dining scene hits a different gear right here. Pure, unpretentious Italian energy—spilling out onto a buzzing open terrace. Those tapped into the northside food scene know to secure a table early for the electric vibe and serious forno a legna action. That wood-fired pizza? Absolute smoky perfection. You’re coming for the blistered crusts, but you’re staying for the pasta. Think pillowy, handmade gnocchi bathed in rich truffle sauce, or perfectly al dente linguine twirled with sweet Moreton Bay bugs. The kitchen keeps things fiercely authentic, while the bar knocks out a killer tiramisu martini that’ll ruin you for standard cocktails forever. Service is incredibly sharp—warm, fast, and genuinely invested in your night. Snag a spot outside, order the duck ragu with goat cheese ravioli, and soak up the gorgeous chaos.
