Every dish has something to make it different, offering gourmets and fans an unrivalled experience coupled with a rustic, authentic Italian ambience.
Jamie Oliver said: "Australia has always been close to my heart since I first visited around a decade ago and I had a brilliant time when I was there last year. I get a lot of wonderful tweets and emails from Australians who have eaten at Jamie's Italians in the UK so now to have a Jamie's Italian open in Sydney is really special for me."
Simon Blagden, Managing Director, Jamie's Italian International added: "Australia is a country that Jamie's been visiting for 10 years and he's always been welcomed warmly. So it's exciting that Jamie's Italian is ready to launch in Sydney, which is one of the great cities of the world. Australians love going out and eating delicious food as much as anyone, so I'm sure Jamie's Italian will appeal. It's basically fantastic food and service at really good value."
We can't wait!
