We swear the Black Sheep restaurant group is slowly conquering their way through The Peak, as they’ve now got yet another eatery up in the heights of our iconic Victoria Peak. The all-day pizzeria Falcone now has a new branch in the Peak Galleria, right across from the Peak Tram station.
Chefs Roberta and Josh wanted a relaxed atmosphere that reminds diners of the Neapolitan seaside, and have crafted a menu to match. Favourites from the IFC menu are also available in The Peak branch, but there are also exclusive dishes such as the strozzapreti basilico e tonno, a hand-rolled pasta with pesto and tuna; and a fantastic salsiccia e zucca pizza that’s topped with Japanese pumpkin and gorgonzola blue cheese.
We also really enjoyed their polpette di spinaci, a ‘meatball’ in tomato sauce that’s actually completely vegetarian and stuffed with tonnes of spinach that surprisingly carries a similar mouthfeel to minced meat. Wrap the meal up with their flourless chocolate cake, or the citrusy torta dell’ubriacone, nicknamed a ‘hangover cake’ in Naples.
Falcone’s interiors are done up in greens and browns, accented with pops of pink as seen in their chandelier set above a flower centerpiece. In a cheeky touch, a drawing of former Italian footballer Materazzi glares down from his place on one of the wall’s mirrors. The bathroom is a decadently floral delight that is best left to experience for yourself.
Note that Falcone is closed on Mondays, so don’t hike up for your pizza on that day of the week!
