It's not Italy, it's Lygon Street, Carlton

The days leading up to an overseas trip are quite stressful. This is especially so when you are all ready to go but the days just won't pass quickly enough.

We were feeling like that so we took an over night trip to Melbourne. We rode on the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel then we went for dinner in Lygon Street.

Lygon St, Carlton has been the centre of the Italian community in Melbourne since the 1920s. It is our favourite place to eat and enjoy things Italian in Melbourne. Of course, we are not the only ones who appreciate the joys of Lygon Street, it is a popular tourist destination also.

There are an amazing number of restaurants,








lots of wonderful Italian food, 




gelati, wheels of grana padana cheese, legs of prosciutto, 






other things Italian,




but nothing, absolutely nothing, beats the Brunetti pasticceria!
