Italians of Kogarah
Kogarah, a keen participant in Australia’s Harmony Day celebrations, is one of the most ethnically-diverse suburbs in Australia. Close to Botany Bay, Sydney Airport, and only 12km from Sydney’s CBD, Kogarah is in great demand. With dog-friendly parks, cycleways, bushwalks, and waterways, Kogarah is quickly developing into one of Sydney’s hidden gems – particularly as a growing artistic hub in its own right. Public wall murals are scattered throughout Kogarah’s streets and laneways. Kogarah Library is showcasing the best of what the creative community has to offer, through the prestigious Kogarah Art Prize, as well as other exhibitions. A statue of martial arts legend Bruce Lee in trademark striking pose is a story of friendship. A symbol of the cultural and educational ties between Kogarah and Shunde District in China, which is where Bruce Lee’s ancestral home is located, including a significant partnership alliance between Guangdong Tongjiang Hospital and St George Private Hospital.
With a long-standing history of Italian immigrants in the Kogarah area, who are an integral building block of the community, Amici Ristorante Pizzeria aims to highlight this legacy – through the pleasure of traditional Italian cuisine. Italians believe in simplicity and respect for good produce, so some of the most beloved dishes of Italians comprise just a few simple ingredients, carefully selected and served at their prime. Cheese and wine are a major part of the cuisine, as is espresso.
Come to Kogarah. Taste the Italian way of life.
