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
