Caruggi

It's perfect for a quick stop before a show at the Geelong Arts Centre or a long lunch after a meander through Geelong Gallery.

Caruggi will transport you to the trattorias of the Cinque Terre with its unique Ligurian dishes and authentic decor. Come for a Negroni, browse the retail wine selection and stay all afternoon enjoying the extensive list of regional Italian Amaros.

The hearty, atmospheric and relaxed environment doesn’t stop with quality food and an interesting wine offering that brings both a sentimental journey and the discovery of new flavours.

Indulge in the focaccia col formaggio, a dish that originates in the town of Recco and has a history that dates back centuries. Today’s version originates from Ristorante Manuelina, whose Piatti di Buon Ricordo may be spotted on our shelves. Arrive hungry, and leave with a full heart.
