A lockdown obsession for Rinaldo Di Stasio and Mallory Wall, Di Stasio Pizzeria is poised to open in Carlton in mid-November. The third venue for the high-profile restaurateur couple sits behind the King and Godfree complex on the corner of Lygon and Faraday streets and has glamorous echoes of their Di Stasio Citta pleasure palace in the city. Designed by architect Di Ritter of Hassell, also responsible for Citta, the pizzeria has three separate spaces inside, adorned with Reko Rennie artwork and Shaun Gladwell sculptures, and a courtyard bar centred around a fountain imported from the Roman countryside. Chef Federico Congiu, who has worked with Di Stasio for five years, is making his own jersey milk mozzarella fiore di latte for the pizzas. Congiu has sourced five growers around the Yarra Valley to grow and preserve San Marzano tomatoes for pizza toppings and is having special durum wheat flour milled in Tamworth.

Embodying old and new, Flovie incorporates both contemporary design with antique pieces. A large vintage cabinet is used for displaying fresh cut flowers and a German-made piano takes centre stage among hanging floral garlands and dried foliage. In their left corner, a curve wooden stair case leads you to the event and function space upstairs. High ceiling, two large rustic bronze crystal chandeliers and black and white French styling make it a perfect venue for your next private function or corporate event. Before you go my friend take a bouquet with you, for you never know who you may meet as you start your colourful journey. That is the proper way, the Flovie way, flowers and love. See me again, you’re always welcome at Flovie as we’ll always be early.
