Hospitality group Odd Culture opens a new Italian-themed restaurant in a CBD location, presenting a menu built around familiar Italian flavours and drinks. All three outlets describe the venue’s focus on both food and aperitivo-style cocktails, ranging from Peroni and Italian-inspired small plates to spritzes made with ingredients such as radicchio. The restaurant also offers evening drinks, described as including midnight martinis, reflecting a day-to-night service style.
The articles also frame the opening as a new direction for Odd Culture, which is already known for venues including The Old Fitzroy and The Duke of Enmore. While the outlets emphasize the restaurant’s Italian concept, they do so by highlighting specific offerings mentioned in their previews rather than broader claims about ownership changes or policy shifts.
Overall, the coverage agrees that the new opening is part of Odd Culture’s continued expansion and that it brings an Italian dining and cocktail program to the CBD, combining classic items with contemporary bar culture.
