The Ultimate Italian Restaurant Guide to NSW
A Guide to the Best Italian Tables
Most Australians love a pub lunch or Friday night takeaway. But when the occasion calls for something special, nothing compares to Italian dining.
If you’re visiting an Italian restaurant in Newcastle and want to order with confidence, here’s a simple guide. Because at Casa Nova, we believe dining isn’t just about food. It’s about rhythm. About pacing. About Buon Cibo. Buon Beve. Buon Amici.
Start with Antipasti
Begin with bruschetta or an antipasto platter to share. Italian meals are designed to be enjoyed slowly and together.
Order Pasta or Risotto
Pasta is the heart of the table. Choose a classic like ravioli, fettuccine or lasagna and trust the chef. No extra sauces needed.
Pair It Properly
Sparkling water enhances flavour, and wine should complement your dish. Finish with espresso, not cappuccino.
Add Secondi and Contorni
For a fuller experience, follow your pasta with a meat or seafood dish, paired with salad or seasonal vegetables.
Don’t Skip Dolce
End with tiramisù or something sweet to complete
the experience.

I have been here 3 times with my partner, and have enjoyed the experience every single
time. From the service being so professional and prompt, to the friendliness of the staff.
The food was also delivered to us quickly and was delicious. The only complaint would
be that the crust of the pizza is a little thin, and the first slice of pizza is hard to eat as
the thin crust struggled to hold up the toppings. Would always recommend.
