Since 2010, Briscola has firmly established itself on the Canberra food scene and is arguably this town's most popular Italian restaurant. Now with a newly refurbished venue, it offers an unpretentious yet stylish approach to an authentic Italian dining experience.At the forefront it’s about the food: simple, wholesome and traditional without being old fashioned. The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy. Start with an aperitivo to open the palate, enjoy a local or Italian wine varietal and finish with a soothing digestive.Briscola is situated conveniently in the heart of the city near hotels and public transport.Sit inside or alfresco, Briscola seems to suit anyone… families, young couples, group functions and corporate luncheons. You can walk-in, but please book, it gets busy!

    Lovely birthday experience tonight. Had a good range of share plates and every single one was absolutely delicious! My fave was definitely the eggplant. Devine. Food was delivered fast and wait staff were super friendly. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

    I’m fairly new to Canberra and was looking for an Italian restaurant for a date night and stumbled upon Briscola after a quick online search. Making the booking online was pain free. We were running a little late for our booked time and when I rang, the restaurant, to inform them, the person I spoke to was friendly and respectful. The service and food could not be faulted. The wine was brilliant. I would have no hesitation recommending this restaurant looking for a wonderful Italian restaurant.

    The food and vibes was spectacular. I came here for the second time and it was still amazed me. The pork scotch was super tender and the sauce was lit!! Had panfried cod as second main course and the mussel emulsion sauce was top notch. New hidden gem in Canberra!!!
