Enterrise Hub: Sagra – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Three chefs have come out of lockdown swinging with a new pop-up concept that fuses traditional Italian cooking with Eastern ingredients and flavours.

Restaurants hold a special place in the hearts of their communities; not only as a place to exchange stories and ideas but also as a marketplace for businesses to trade goods and services. After all, a restaurant brings chefs together with producers and wholesale suppliers, creating exquisite dishes which are delivered to customers by the front of house staff to tables or by delivery drivers to doors.

Sagra epitomises this ideal, a beautiful brick building on a bustling corner in Sydney’s leafy Surry Hills. It’s a place that is firmly entrenched in the local neighbourhood. Its walls are lined with bottles of homemade vivid-yellow limoncello, tables are simply set with high-quality linens and windows open out drawing the tables curbside in true European fashion. Head chef and co-owner Andrea Sonnante was drawn to the venue for reasons like this. “It’s like a being welcomed into a nonna’s house,” he explains, and reminiscent of backstreet eateries in “Florence, Milan or Rome.”
