Bar Democratico & Di Stasio Pizzeria
Never ones to rest on their laurels, Rinaldo Di Stasio and Mallory Wall are planning to open two new businesses in the coming year. First off the rank will be Di Stasio Pizzeria in Carlton (next door to King & Godfree on Faraday Street), which will open mid-2021. This will be followed by Bar Democratico, a bar/café/galleria, in the new development replacing the old Mercure Hotel, just down the hill from Di Stasio Città. Di Ritter from Hassell Studios, who did remarkable work at Città, is on board for the fit-out of Democratico. Expect new work from artists Reko Rennie and Shaun Gladwell too.
Lollo at The W
The Marriott’s new W Melbourne hotel in Flinders Lane will include a wine bar, a cocktail bar and a Japanese restaurant, alongside its signature 110-seat restaurant Lollo, where Adam D’Sylva (Coda, Tonka) has signed on as creative director. Due to open next month, Lollo will serve everything from breakfast through to nightcaps, with a menu drawing on D’Sylva’s Indian and Italian heritage, as well as his love for Southeast Asian and European flavours and techniques. The wine list will lean Victorian. 408 Flinders Ln, Melbourne, Vic

HEART AND SOUL
Not a vegetable but rather a flower bud that rises on a thistle, the artichoke is a complex delight. Its rewards are hard won; first you must get past the armour of petals and remove the hairy choke. Those who step up are rewarded with sweet and savoury creaminess and the elusive flavour of spring. Many of the recipes here begin with the same Provençal braise. Others call on the nuttiness of artichokes in their raw form. The results make pasta lighter and chicken brighter or can be fried to become a vessel for bold flavours all of which capture the levity of the season.
