The Dining Room
Forty 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.
Toto 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. View Collection
