Vitelli’s Upstairs is an Italian restaurant and bar in Redfern, taking cues from old New York red-sauce joints.

Pasta is made fresh every day by the Grana team. That’s the heart of it. Around that, you’ve got Italian-American classics, lighter plates, and desserts that always sound like a good idea once they’re on the table.

Later, the bar comes into focus. Italian cocktails done the right way, amaro on hand, and a late-night menu for when you’re not ready to call it.

Eat properly, drink well.
