On Tuesday 14 April, ITŌ welcomes Brendan Pang to Crown Street for a single evening of Italo-Chinese dining alongside our Executive Chef Erik Ortolani.
Brendan — MasterChef Australia alumnus, founder of Bumplings and author of This Is A Book About Rice — has spent his career bringing the flavours of his Chinese-Mauritian heritage to life through technically grounded, deeply personal cooking. Together with Erik, whose kitchen sits at the dialogue between Japanese and Italian cuisine, the result is a menu built on a simple truth: both traditions speak the same language.
Dough, depth and heat. Dumplings and agnolotti. Master stocks and slow ragù. Chilli oil and olive oil. Different histories, the same instincts.
One night only. This menu will not be repeated.
