Italian Restaurant in StanmoreThe Grumpy Italian Leichhardt

For a proper Stanmore Italian restaurant experience, The Grumpy Italian is a seven-minute drive north-west from Stanmore to Norton Street, Leichhardt — Sydney's original Italian dining strip. Stanmore has plenty of good food along Parramatta Road and a short walk into Enmore, but for a dedicated Italian restaurant near Stanmore serving hand-made pasta and wood-fired style pizza, Norton Street is still where locals head. Regulars call us the best pizza near Stanmore for a reason: real dough, quality toppings and none of the greasy shortcuts. Our pasta Stanmore diners order again and again — the fettucine boscaiola, the spaghetti bolognese, Nonna's meatballs in slow-simmered sugo — is built on traditional Southern Italian recipes. Order online for pickup on the drive home, have it delivered back to Stanmore via Uber, or book a table and let us look after you.
