The Dining Room
Sixty seats, white tablecloths over butcher paper, high arches and timber joists overhead. Calabrian family photographs on the walls. The room knows how to host.
Darlinghurst
Modern Italian,
since 2007
On the corner where Stanley meets Riley.
The corner hasn’t moved.
Verde Darlinghurst is a modern Italian restaurant at 115–117–119 Riley Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney. The building is from 1889. The kitchen opened in 2007. The ragu braises for five hours. By six the room smells like garlic and warm stone. If you let him, the chef will order for you. Most people let him.

The Butcher Shop
Verde opened on this corner in 2007. The building is older than the restaurant by more than a century. The original 1889 plans, drawn for a butcher’s shop, still hang above the bar.
The Bar
A small front bar for an aperitivo before dinner, a digestivo after. Italian wines by the glass, Negronis as they should be made.
Al Fresco
Tables on the corner of Stanley and Riley, set under the bougainvillea. The original outdoor room of Verde, weather permitting.
The Collection
Original vintage Italian posters line the walls, collected over twenty years. Cappiello, Mauzan, Villemot, others. They have been there since day one.
What’s Cooking
Modern Italian kitchen, seasonal menu. Five-hour slow-cooked pork shank ragù. Crispy-skin snapper with gremolata on pappardelle. Potato and parsley fritters from a family recipe. Most of the menu has been on it since 2007. Dressed with red wine vinegar from Collaroy, made in the garage for thirty years and still going.
Private for You
A private room above the restaurant. Sandstone walls, one long table. Forty seated for dinner, twenty at the marble bar. Twenty years of weddings, birthdays and quieter dinners. Tell us the date.
