You’ll find Mad Over Italian nestled within Hope Island Marketplace. While the majority of Italian-inspired venues can easily categorised as traditional or modern, Mad Over Italian is both, simultaneously. The family-owned establishment is underpinned by a deep-rooted passion for hospitality, boasting Italian flavours that would make Nonna proud. The menu meanders from antipasti starters such as bruschetta and truffle-filled arancini, to share plates featuring burrata, a calzone and fries loaded with bolognese. When it comes to the mains, there is more than a dozen different pizzas to choose from alongside secondi selections and pasta. The venue’s carbonara has earned quite the following, with some diners gushing on Instagram it’s the best they’ve ever had. Bring your Italian feast to a fitting finale with a scoop of the tiramisu or the pistachio-ricotta cannoli. Mad Over Italian also offers a range of cocktails, beers, wine and non-alc options for you to sip while you savour.
