Parnell institution Non Solo Pizza has had a makeover, with the much-loved Italian eatery getting a new lease on life just in time for long, leisurely lunches this spring. With a newly minted private dining room, a fresh new look, a kitchen upgrade, and an updated menu, the beautifully refurbished Osteria is now even better poised to welcome discerning diners for long lunches, afternoon aperitivo and convivial dinners as we look ahead to the warmer months.
The brief renovation has seen the exclusive dining space given a light, bright and decidedly European facelift, with chic accents and a deep green-hued palette offering a contemporary take on the Tuscan-inspired interiors the eatery has become known for.

The intimate private dining room follows a similar theme, with sumptuous seating, parquet flooring, deep, wooden accents and a lofty ceiling making for a perfect, cosy space to while away a long lunch or celebratory dinner with your nearest and dearest. A stunning cellar adds further to the room’s elevated ambience.
Executive chef Chris Rendell is making the most of his newly updated kitchen, crafting an outstanding edit of new, seasonal dishes that have joined familiar favourites on the menu. From a number of delectable new crostinis, pizzettas and desserts sure to satisfy — this menu is the eatery’s best yet.
And, if you’re planning a visit to check out the reinvigorated space, we suggest locking in a family-style Italian Long Lunch which, for a modest $55, offers antipasti, secondi, dolce and spritz — with both classic dishes and inspired takes to choose from. If revelry is on the cards, go bottomless on the drinks for $49 per person, as part of Savor’s Spring Food Festival — from now until the end of September.
Regulars will be pleased to hear that the eatery’s much-loved Aperitivo Hour is also back, running from 4pm to 7pm daily and showcasing new beverage specials in the beautifully refurbished Osteria.
Despite a fresh new look and a few menu updates, you’ll still be met with the same, vibrant atmosphere we’ve all come to know and love — and a perfect place within which to enthusiastically welcome spring, drink in hand.
