You might recognise owners Luca and Mike as the dynamic duos behind Pizzantica – Australia’s first mobile pizza oven, which the pair operated out of a vintage Volkswagen Kombi. After building up a loyal following, they decided to set up a permanent trattoria on the outskirts of Wilston village. Antica, meaning ‘ancient’ in Italian, is a nod to their traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas. Start by sharing the pizza fritta (fried pizza bread) or focaccia with locally made salumi, before diving into mains. Quattro formaggi, napoletana, calabrese, capricciosa, diavola – you name it, they serve it. We suggest coming hungry and ordering the whopping one-metre ‘Antica Signature’, featuring half tomato, burrata, balsamic pearls and basil, and half seasonal fruits, goat's cheese, manuka honey and mozzarella. Bellissimo!
