Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant.

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!

    A quiet dinner on a Tuesday night. We were greeted and seated by the very friendly front of house who served us for the night (food and wine). She explained the food and options well and we chose to go a la carte (the fixed menu looked very good and included options but not what we felt like on the night). We chose 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 sides, all to share. They were fabulous - not a foot wrong anywhere. We finished with a dessert to share and it was fantastic. All the food was full of flavour and we'll presented. We chose wine by the glass and had 2. each, both very acceptable. We left we'll satisfied and will definitely be back.

    A good restaurant. Just too much food. The meat was a bit tough and not cooked enough. The price is too much given what was provided; not good value for money.
