The next-door sibling to Tipo 00, the pasta here is just as fine, but the menu extends to more primi and secondi options, with the wine list also turned up a notch or three.

Opened 2017
Function spaces: 8–14 guests
Head chef Stefano Rosi’s food, steeped in seasonality and built on local produce, is a modern twist on Italian cuisine.

Little Andorra has the warm wood, terrazzo and whitewash interior of Melbourne’s classic Euro-leaning bars, with vinyl spinning and a killer wine list it makes perching at that bar irresistible, but don’t miss booking for Mertcan Dogusgen’s set-menu feast.
