One of the best things about Canberra is the local shops because tucked away in the leafy and not so leafy suburbs are some pretty funky cafes and restaurants serving up some pretty amazing coffee and food.

The suburb of Deakin is located in Canberra's inner south and home to the Royal Australian Mint, several embassies, Calvary John James Hospital and of course, the Lodge, where the Prime Minister officially resides. But Deakin (named after Alfred Deakin, Australia's second Prime Minister) is also home to , which in my opinion serves up some of the best pizza this side of Italy.



is nestled within the Deakin shops. It serves up not only mouth-watering handmade wood-fired pizzas but also many original, locally sourced traditional Italian dishes.

On the day we visited, one of my friends tried the day's special pizza: a yummy truffle pizza with bechamel sauce, mushrooms, roasted potato, rosemary, thyme and fresh truffle.



Another friend tried the Napoletana. "It was delicious," she said. "With just the right amount of topping ingredients!"



We also feasted on arancini, as well as black cozze, which are black mussels dipped in a rich Napoli sauce, white wine, chilli and orecchiette pasta, and served with wood fired focaccia.





And for dessert, one of my friends and I indulged in the house-made tiramisu.



offers generous servings and the waitstaff are efficient, prompt, helpful and friendly. We will certainly go back again to try out more of their delicious menu.
