Sous Chef | Totti's Bondi

The Venue 

Headed up by Mike Eggert, Totti’s is all about enjoying simple, delicious food with your favourite people.

The menu is made for sharing and is suited to all ages. Start with wood-fired bread made to order with small plates of local and house-made antipasto. Move on to flavour-packed pasta from Eggert, and then perhaps the chicken or fish, perfectly cooked in the Josper charcoal oven. And always leave room for dessert – tiramisu, sorbet and a Neopolitan ice-cream sandwich will take you back to the flavours of your childhood, but better. Drinks are kept simple too, with retro-Italian-inspired crowd pleasers (spritz anyone?) and organic wines, with a focus on small boutique wineries.

Take a seat in the light-filled indoor space or in the courtyard amongst the olive trees and soak up the fun, flavour and relaxed vibes at Totti’s.
