Belluci's @ Sub-Urban is a new experience for regular Belluci's diners. With a new intimate fit out, art deco trimmings, new Grills menu and Sub-Urban bar only steps away, Belluci's @ Sub-Urban has secured itself as a benchmark concept for Canberra.

Editorial


When you think of a restaurant in the back of a pub you might think footy on the big screens, bistro food, soggy beer coasters and self-service. Sub-urban, however, is an establishment in the heart of Dickson with a different formula, and it's proving to be a winner. Sub-urban takes full advantage of the corner art-deco building, and has cleverly run with this theme through the interior with features like big black and white floor tiles and old-style artwork banners. Continue further towards the back and you'll find the cosy, wood-panelled restaurant with a more intimate setting, and in no time you will forget you've just walked into a happening nightspot. The atmosphere is great with an exciting vibe that is generated by the friendly staff, experienced waiters and the live music on Saturday and Sundays by Touchasoul, Mark Travis and The Squirrels.

This restaurant was crafted by the makers of Belluci's, a well-known and trusted Canberra name, and effectively offers the same family Italian dining with a few slight changes and special additions. Chef Anton Shaw has tailored a menu to complement the stylish pub section with more emphasis on selections from the grill such as the tender marinated pork ribs, and succulent prime cuts of beef served with your choice of sauce and chips or jacket potato. Leave a bit of room for a delicious cocktail mixed by the talented bartenders, or one of Sub-urban's fine desserts. However, if it's a snack you're after, the bar menu has some great tapas options available. Sub-urban is a top destination whatever the occasion.

Sub-Urban, Sub-standard. The following is from my experiences of April 4th 2009. Upon ordering a glass of house white wine from the bar, I was presented with a mixture of house white and another white wine in one glass, the wine list was removed from my sight, and the waitress tried to charge me double the price of the house white. Her explanation was that they “had just run out of house white and this was the next wine on the menu. If I want it I would have to pay for it”. She seemed ever so confused when I told her to keep it. Secondly, after ordering an overpriced pizza and settling for a bowl of nachos as a vegetarian option, the same waitress entered the wrong table number into the computer. When meals were brought out for out table, and our dishes were in their hands, we were told that they could not be for us as they were for another table number. (Continues…)
