Situated in Robertson Quay, Publico Ristorante provides a welcoming and laid-back ambiance, perfect for enjoying casual Italian cuisine. The pizzas are crafted by hand in a half-open kitchen and then skillfully baked in the pizza oven. A standout dish is the signature wood-fired Mediterranean octopus, balanced with a confit garlic cream, crispy prosciutto, charred kale, and lemon vinaigrette. The restaurant caters to different dietary preferences with gluten-free and vegetarian options available upon request. Desserts truly shine at Publico, especially the Flambéed Chocolate Ecstasy where a luscious chocolate brownie is dramatically set alight with orange liqueur. Classic tiramisu is also playfully presented in a flowerpot. Service is attentive and cheerful. While dinner can be enjoyed at the bar or lounge area, the bar has the added advantage of live DJs, enticing cocktails, and picturesque riverfront views, creating a truly romantic dining atmosphere.
