The go-to Italian restaurant near Camperdown

Looking for a Camperdown Italian restaurant that goes beyond the campus cafe? The Grumpy Italian is an eight-minute drive west from Camperdown to Norton Street, Leichhardt — Sydney's original Little Italy. Camperdown is home to RPA and the edge of USyd, so we see plenty of regulars — hospital staff after a long shift, students celebrating end-of-semester, locals booking a table for a proper dinner out. As an Italian restaurant near Camperdown we take the classics seriously: the best pizza near Camperdown according to plenty of our regulars, and pasta Camperdown diners keep coming back for — fettucine boscaiola, spaghetti bolognese, Nonna's meatballs in slow-simmered sugo. Order online for pickup on the drive home, have it delivered back to Camperdown via Uber Eats, or book a table on Norton Street and let us look after the rest.
