The Italian Bowl was founded by Italian-born Vince and his son-in-law Alexi, along with their wives, who wanted to create fast, fun and fresh Italian cuisine for its customers. The eatery's concept of creating its own pasta shapes, proteins, and sauces was a hit right from the beginning and quickly became a local favourite. The Italian Bowl is an open-plan kitchen with a diner-style bar seating area. The restaurant provides catering services to prepare stunning Italian cuisine fresh to your doorstep.

2025 Update: The Italian Bowl expands its next-door premises and doubles its capacity to 90 seats. Online ordering facilities are also available here.
