Hello Folks. It's been some time since I've last blogged as I've been a bit busy with life. It had been some time since I last visited Mezza Via in Ryde. It used to be one of my regular haunts before the pandemic started. I last posted in 2015 so I think it is definitely due a revisit blog post.

La Favola is located on King St Newtown and its shop front is unassuming. It's mostly by word of mouth where people will know about the quality of food at La Favola.

Granata's is an Italian restaurant full of the family recipes including Grandma's secret recipes. How intriguing!
