Located on the ever-busy Broadway, Fusion 16 is all about dishing up welcoming meals in the centre of Ultimo. Originally a purely Italian restaurant, Fusion 16 now focuses on three main cuisines, Mediterranean, modern Australian, and of course its staple of Italian. Wood fired pizzas make up the backbone of the menu, while other Italian favourites like spaghetti aglio e olio, chicken scaloppini and caprese salad. Locally-leaning menu items include grain fed rib-eye with mash, field mushrooms, roasted tomatoes and red wine jus; lamb cutlets with rosemary potato gratin and mixed vegetables; or chicken haloumi salad with quinoa, rocket, cherry tomato and herbs with balsamic glaze.
Fusion 16 recently extended their opening hours and is now open for lunch times – to mark this they're dishing out a pizza happy hour from noon until 5pm with pizza and a drink for just $15. Being located right near some of Sydney's biggest universities, they've also introduced excellent student specials, with pizzas starting at just $10.
