Cicerone ~ Cucina Romana

Surry Hills has a serious Roman heavyweight. Cicerone ~ Cucina Romana brings effortless sprezzatura straight to Bourke Street. Dimly lit. Fiercely lively. Impeccably detailed. Sydney’s pasta purists are absolutely obsessed with the rigatoni vaccinara and the unapologetically rich carbonara—always served perfettamente al dente. Skip the basic orders and dive straight into the truffle supplì and the Diavola pizza, a masterclass in sweet-heat balance laced with hot honey. Those who routinely pack out this romantic dining room know the insider move: lock in a booking early, command the table with a towering antipasto platter, and wash it down with a signature mango tequila cocktail. Bold flavours, fast service, legendary tiramisu.
