They’re places everyone familiar with Melbourne will have heard about, but these streets have changed, and there’s never been a better time to revisit them. An Old Italian Friend
5
For years, Lygon Street in Carlton has been known as Little Italy. After World War II, Italians migrated to Australia in large numbers to Melbourne and this neighbourhood. These days, Lygon Street is still a nexus of vita Italiana in Australia, but it’s so much more. Stores that have been there for decades sit alongside contemporary boutiques. Bars like Johnny’s Green Room and Heartattack and Vine attract a younger crowd as the sun sets. Plus, you can still get a great Italian meal. Try DOC Espresso for bowls of spaghetti al pomodoro or family-run Donnini’s for dishes like burrata with roasted bullhorn peppers. + johnnysgreenroom.com + heartattackandvine.com.au + docgroup.net/espresso + donninis.com.au
