Three Cheese Arancini - Golden crumbed risotto balls served on tomato relish 11

Verdict? We were lucky enough to snap up a Cudo deal for four tapas and a dessert to share between two people, which finally gave us an excuse to check out this local venue. The feast was an absolute bargain at $25 and everything was pretty tasty, especially the bruschetta and the sticky date pudding. The staff were friendly, and the environment was clean, modern and had a pub feel. We'd happily return for a drink and a bite or two!
