About Sasso Italiano

Woolloongabba regulars treat this spot as their go-to for blistered crusts and rich bowls of pasta. The wood-fired pizzas hit the mark with a crisp, chewy cornicione that holds up against rustic sausage and eggplant or generous scatterings of fresh seafood. Plates of bucatini amatriciana land with proper bite and deep, savoury sauce, while slow-braised beef cheek pappardelle pairs naturally with a pour of Montepulciano. Starting with house-pickled sardines on charred ciabatta sets the tone before generous mains like crisp calamari or grilled lamb cutlets. Those looking to host milestone gatherings slip into Bar Sasso, the dedicated private room and bar tucked just off the main floor.

  • Wood-Fired Pizzas: Crisp, chewy crusts with blistered edges hold hearty toppings from sausage and eggplant to generous seafood.
  • Al Dente Pastas: Bucatini amatriciana cooked with firm bite and rich beef cheek pappardelle paired with Montepulciano red wine.
  • Bar Sasso Private Space: Dedicated function room and bar offering private dining and sharing menus apart from the central room.

  • Artisanal Wood-Fired Pizza Crusts

    Guests consistently praise the light, fluffy, and crispy wood-fired crusts, whether sharing a funghi tartufati or house-made flatbread.

    The pizza base, in particular, was impressively fluffy — probably one of the best I’ve had in any Italian restaurant.

  • Convenient Pre-Event & Early Dining

    Opening at 5pm with flexible indoor and outdoor seating, Sasso provides an ideal early dinner spot to enjoy share plates before the evening continues.

    The restaurant opened at 5pm so it would make a great spot to have a meal before the movies.

  • Dedicated Milestone Event Coordination

    Organizers of large milestones and birthdays benefit from seamless coordination, generous multi-course banquet menus, and stress-free group hosting.

    From dealing with Montana from the beginning through all the detail and to the very end, as well as the staff on the day, the service was exceptional.

  • Wood-fired Focaccia

    The wood-fired focaccia is soft in the middle, with a crunchy, slightly charred exterior and served with a smooth compound butter with a bit of a kick.

  • Pistachio Panzerotti

    The pastry is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft within, the filling and the pistachio gelato are so excellently crafted, rich without being overwhelming, and the crumble with the gelato complimented the rest of the dish perfectly.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on booking, arrival, and space selection for your visit.

  • Book Ahead for Weekend Evenings

    Walk-in queues can grow long on Friday and Saturday evenings, often leaving guests waiting or without their preferred seating; secure an advance reservation to avoid delays.

  • Check Nearby Parking Options

    On-site parking spaces are limited, but additional street parking and an underground parking lot at Woolworths nearby provide convenient alternatives.

  • Choose the Right Dining Room

    For a quieter, more intimate dinner or smaller gathering, opt for the side bar room, whereas the main dining floor best accommodates larger, high-energy groups.
