"Since sparking the Lonsdale Street transformation when first opening in 2009, Italian and Sons has truly maintained its place as one of Canberra’s finest Italian restaurants. Boasting a menu that will immediately get your mouth watering, start with the affettati, a charcuterie board with cold cuts, Provolone, grissini and broad bean pesto. Moving on to mains, you’re spoilt for choice."
