Vin-Cenzo’s has officially opened on Liverpool Street, marking the latest venture from The Goodies Hospitality, the team behind Bar Copains, Bessie’s and Alma’s.
Led by friends and co-owners Morgan McGlone and Sali and Nathan Sasi, Vin-Cenzo’s offers a produce-driven Italian menu designed for sharing, blending nostalgia from the site’s Bar Vincent days with The Goodies’ trademark warmth and hospitality. The restaurant is now open for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday, with a late-night supper club on Friday and Saturday nights, keeping the doors open until 2am.
Quick Bites
- What to eat: Handmade agnolotti with roasted chicken and mortadella, house-made pork belly sausage with lentils, or go big with a veal t-bone in marsala with shimeji mushrooms.
- What to drink: A heavy-hitting wine list with Italian, French and Australian drops, plus rare vintages from McGlone’s own cellar. Or keep it classic with a negroni or a sgroppino whipped up with house-made sorbet, vodka and prosecco.
- When to go: Drop in for a cosy weeknight dinner, or make it a late-night affair at the Friday and Saturday night supper clubs.
- Cost: Mains from ~$35,
- Where to play after: Stay put until 2 am, this is the spot. Or kick on at nearby Shady Pines Saloon for a whisky-soaked nightcap.
- Vibe check: New York Italian meets Darlinghurst cool — tiled floors, banquettes, burgundy leather and paper-topped tablecloths scrawled with notes. Intimate but lively, with room for 68 diners and a new alfresco area for walk-ins.
