Located in Balmain's, White Bay, meet Mantecato, Risotteria Italiana

In the way of all good Italian families, The owners of this Balmain local (and also Balmain’s Rosso Pomodoro Pizzeria) have teamed up with Marco Orso as restaurant manager and co-owners to create the new risotteria experience. 

Mantecato is the name given to the final, vigorous whisking-in of butter – an essential technique in making risotto - this Italian favourite is the house specialty. One of the secrets is in the rice itself: Italy’s finest carnaroli grains, Tenuta Castello Carnaroli, are imported by us directly from the Piedmont region. 

Marco's passion for Italian wines shines on the truly impressive wine list, directly importing many boutique labels, some exclusive. Marco has just spent five years running restaurants in Milan.

Expect convivial hospitality, authentic Italian accents, deft and traditional cooking and a gorgeously rustic new look. Come for a quick midweek bite or for a full dining experience and you’ll be welcomed with affable service to match.

This Italian Family cannot wait to welcome you to their authentic Italian dining experience!
