Print Issue 26

Issue 26 is available now in cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and hotels across town.

Inside we visit groundbreaking new restaurant Di Stasio Citta, take a look at the changing retail fortunes on Collins Street and visit Australia's last remaining wool mill down in Tassie.

The Opera of Dining with Di Stasio

Food & DrinkIt’s not often a place upends your understanding of what a restaurant can or should be. Rinaldo Di Stasio’s new city diner, Città, is such a place. Distinct from any other food and drink space in the country, it embodies the restaurateur’s uncompromising approach to hospitality, which sees food, art, design and connection as one and the same.
