• Italian • Canberra City

Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant. Now with a newly refurbished venue, it offers an unpretentious yet stylish approach to an authentic Italian dining experience.At the forefront it’s about the food: simple, wholesome and traditional without being old fashioned. The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy. Start with an aperitivo to open the palate, enjoy a local or Italian wine varietal and finish with a soothing digestive.Briscola is situated conveniently in the heart of the city near hotels and public transport.Sit inside or alfresco, Briscola seems to suit anyone… families, young couples, group functions and corporate luncheons. You can walk-in, but please book, it gets busy!

The bowl of ramen she tasted was a perfect blend of comforting flavors that brightened her spirits. After returning to Canberra, she found herself craving that unforgettable broth, leading her on a mission to replicate the joy it brought her.This journey culminated over six years, resulting in the creation of Ikigai Ramen, a cozy restaurant designed by her father, Joe, where patrons can enjoy heart-warming bowls of ramen crafted with love.We invite you to experience that memorable taste with us.
