i carusi - 46a holmes street brunswick east 3056 9386 5522

what does the name mean? who the hell knows! telstra and yellow pages sure don't. after a few attempts to find the number i gave up and had to resort to an unnamed book that writes about these places, but not in a way that helps you unless you're into {insert some poncy dish that they bang on about}. if you're reading this telstra it's bloody 9386 5522. don't worry too much if you get a fax machine, just ring again until you get someone who can't hear you over the noise.

they know how to take the booking but in true seinfeld style they aren't very good at holding the booking. a sign on the wall says "if it wasn't for romance we'd all be eating at pizza hut". if it wasn't for the waiters attitude at i carusi we'd be in and out in an hour. don't get me wrong. i think a shitty attitude is essential for success in the restaurant business. the worse the attitude, the more people like to go there and be ignored. go figure.

but i carusi is about pizza and they make bloody good pizza. wrap your laughin' gear around a spinach, bocconcini and pine nuts pizza and you'll forgive the waiter kicking the front door to keep it closed (it probably deserved it anyway). bring your own wine if you have one in the cellar (who the hell has a cellar?!) just don't expect a wine glass. or a clean one.

final word - bloody great pizza, don't expect to eat within 1 hour of arriving, the waiters will piss you off so build a bridge.
