The Tastebud Tourist WORDS DI VON ESSEN Every time I drive down Beaumont Street, I seem to discover a restaurant I've never noticed before. Recently, this prompted me to make a (somewhat hasty) declaration that “we will try out a different restaurant on Beaumont Street

every week and see how many weeks it takes us to try them all!” Admittedly, what started as a challenge has turned into a bit of an obsession because, as I've realised, it’s kind of like travelling which is an obsession. And, of course, there is an incredible array of different cuisines in

BUONGIORNO ITALIA at SAPORI AT TAILORS! For a genuine taste of Italy, particularly Rome and Calabria, Novocastrians need to go no further than Sapori at Tailors. Opened by Romans Fabrizio and Francesca Virgili in January 2021, it is now a firm favourite for locals and anyone looking for the authentic traditions of Italian fare. And when I say authentic, I genuinely mean it – nearly everyone working there speaks Italian or is from Italy, including our lovely waitress, who hails from a small town just outside Venice. Sapori means ‘flavours’ in Italian, and that’s what this rustic restaurant is all about - flavours and traditional cooking that is true to the origins of the recipes handed down through the family. “We really care about keeping to traditions. We make everything from scratch with the best produce. We import a lot of ingredients from Italy because if we want authentic flavours, we have to. The Italian speck is much less fatty than the Australian speck; the salami is spicier or more flavourful. It is all about the flavours,” says Fabrizio, our Chef for the night.
