UPDATE: Jamie’s Italian Canberra closed in April 2018.
Jamie’s Italian is the biggest thing to come to Canberra since… well, I don’t know. And word on the street is that they are opening up their doors to the public tomorrow.
I should start with a big fat disclaimer – I work there I used to work there before they breached their FairWork obligations resulting in more than half the staff leaving. But, let’s move on shall we. So I won’t talk about the food other than to say that a lot of thought has gone into sourcing great quality produce from ethical suppliers.
The fish is sustainably sourced, and the chicken and eggs are free range. Pasta is made in house every day. Nothing comes into the kitchens without its processes being documented and inspected. There is astounding attention to detail – the locally sourced salumi is made without sodium nitrates because research has shown that the combination of sodium nitrate, red meat and red wine can lead to bowel cancer.
Here are some photos to help you decide whether you’d like to pop in – you know you want to.
