Buon Ricordo 4.93

In 1987 Buon Ricordo (Italian for Good Memory) opened its doors. Our customers comment that dining at Buon Ricordo invokes a feeling of warmth and intimacy with attentive, kind and nurturing service and we pride ourselves in ensuring the best possible overall experience.

Throughout the restaurant you will find many works of art, styles ranging from classic to modern with a number of mediums represented. Our collection has been built up over 25 years, often from artists with a personal relationship to the restaurant.



THE MENU
The menu is a blend of classical dishes that reflect the traditional, authentic flavours and techniques of Italian cuisine and Armando’s signature dishes. Over the years Armando has become known for using only the freshest of ingredients to create full-flavoured, in-season dishes. We celebrate the simplicity of buffalo mozzarella, and burrata (flown directly from Italy) paired with candied tomatoes or the more complex assembly of the Timballo.


Capretto con Piselli

Braciolette Reginaldo
Some dishes have become faithful standards on our menu, such as the Fettuccine al Tartufovo, a now world-renowned dish that has been described by Italy’s Grazie magazine as, “the best pasta in the world”. Another Buon Ricordo classic is Bracioletta Reginaldo, named after one of our most regular customers, a dish of crumbed veal rolled with spinach and parmesan and grilled.

Other dishes appear with the change of season and reflect the produce that is natural for that time; Figs and Peppers in summer, stuffed artichokes, nettles, friarelli, cape gooseberries and blood oranges in winter.


“Armando” Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the basis of all Italian cooking and we use oil made from olives grown on our farm in the Wollombi Valley. In addition to olives, the property supplies the restaurant with oranges, lemons, limes and many of the herbs we use.

THE WINE LIST
The wine list has won countless awards for its quality and selection. It is Italian-based with a broad, regional cross-section and an emphasis on Barolo and Southern Italian whites. Our list also includes an excellent Australian representation including 14 vintages of Grange and a wide Cabernet selection.
