Studio Amaro

Chapel Street’s got a fierce new anchor. Step past the Windsor buzz and into a masterclass of mood—think striking staircase projections and an ultra-cool horse installation commanding the room. Southside tastemakers are crowning this spot for its knockout hospitality and razor-sharp cucina italiana. Start with a flawlessly balanced Bianco Negroni before diving into the antipasti. The kitchen flexes serious culinary muscle here—pillowy sourdough focaccia, vibrant roast peppers, and a tuna carpaccio that demands absolute respect. For the primi, the rigatoni hits that perfect al dente bite, while the decadent duck Bolognese pairs brilliantly with a peppery rocket salad to cut the richness. Carnivores, take note: the flank steak slicked with punchy puttanesca butter is a total triumph. But the real flex? The front-of-house team. Armed with intuitive, hyper-accommodating grace, they treat every table like VIPs—even dropping complimentary dolci or a cheeky round of shots to ensure the night stays flawless. Confident cooking, killer aesthetics, top-tier energy.
