La Piadina
93000160
106 Glenayr ave
Bondi
Tues – Sun
BYO & Licensed
My monthly dinner club was brought to Bondi under the promise of a baboon (but that’s a story for another time) and we were consoling ourselves (due to the absence of said baboon) with a lovely white wine and trying to decide on a location for dinner (we had one criteria – BYO and a bottle shop near by)
‘I know a great Panini place’ I volunteered.
‘I know a great pizza place’ another member contributed.
After a brief discussion we settled on pizza and walked to the very place I was thinking of. La Piadina doesn’t serve pizza or panini and I’m blaming the baboon for our muddled concept. What it does serve is beautiful Italian flat bread folded over and heated on a grill (kind of quesadilla style) with a variety of yummy fillings. We ordered 3 to share, and fillings included prosciutto (sliced in store), buffalo mozzarella, grilled eggplant, mushroom and rocket. Desert was little dough pockets filled with Nutella, again grilled, and absolutely delicious (but a little explosive when first bitten).
There is very minimal seating (one 4 seater, a two seater and a window bar) and the space is tiny, but the open design makes it cosy rather than cramped. The lay out keeps your dinning experience feeling private (very important for an all female crowd discussing women’s issues, such as the latest Sex in the City movie) and we truly enjoyed our non pizza and non panini experience. Even without the baboon.
