The Italian Kitchen Bar has been created thanks to Rosario’s passion for hospitality, vision to create a space that reflects his Italian culture and desire to share that with the Blackwood community. So when the opportunity came up, Rosario and his wife, Emily knew it was the perfect space to turn their dream into a reality.

‘We want The Italian Kitchen Bar to become Blackwood’s ‘piazza’ (town square in Italian), where local’s can meet and catch up over a coffee, meal or an aperitivo and be greeted with a friendly face.Essentially we are a family business and we want our customers to feel like ‘famiglia’ (family) coming home when they visit us.’ Rosario & Emily
