Serving Rozelle

The go-to Italian restaurant near Rozelle

Chef preparing fresh pasta at The Grumpy Italian — a short trip from Rozelle

When Rozelle locals want a Rozelle Italian restaurant that doesn't cut corners, they drive seven minutes south down Balmain Road to The Grumpy Italian on Norton Street, Leichhardt. Rozelle has great pubs and cafes, but for a full Italian restaurant near Rozelle — with hand-made pasta, wood-fired style pizza and desserts made in-house — Norton Street is still the destination. We're regularly called the best pizza near Rozelle by regulars who order 'The Lot' for pickup on a Friday night. Our pasta Rozelle families come back for is built on traditional Southern Italian recipes: slow-simmered sugo for the meatballs, mushrooms and bacon folded through the boscaiola, spaghetti bolognese the way it's meant to be. Order online for pickup, get it delivered back to Rozelle via Uber, or book a table and settle in — we'll look after you.
