Love this quirky place, run by a young Italian guy from Rome and his wife. We joked that he must have been on the run to have ended up in burra, a sleepy little town on the way to Broken Hill or even the Flinders Ranges,
This place which on the outside looks like a tin shed (don't be put off by that), is dominated by a massive wood fired oven which is in the middle of the restaurant.
The menu consists of mainly pizzas cooked in that beautiful oven and usually a roast pork or other meat also from the oven and pasta dishes which change according to ingredients available. The drinks are help yourself from the fridge on an honour system and mainly consist of a house white/house red (very good ones), beer and soft drinks.
Those pizzas have beautifully crisp thin bases and imaginative toppings. Our only complaint is that for us there was too much cheese, I imagine because that is the way the locals, and Australians generally like it.
So we had two pizzas and they are huge, followed by a pasta dish, all lovingly cooked by Paolo. All delicioso. So full no dinner required!
The garlic bread comes out to you in a paper bag, a nice touch.
We loved Pecora Nera. If ever you are in Burra try it. Oh, and it was packed on a Sunday at lunchtime so the word is out...... read more
