Anna's Restaurant

Traditional Italian cooking has run from this corner of Wallangarra Road since 1981, making it one of the Granite Belt's longest-standing kitchens and a fixture for locals and the wine-country crowd alike. The a la carte menu holds to the classics, antipasti, house-made pasta, veal and seafood mains served through the week, with a buffet laid out on weekends. Little about it chases fashion; the appeal is consistency, generous plates and a warm, family-run dining room that has outlasted most of its contemporaries in town. Open evenings only and closed Sundays, it fills reliably through vintage and harvest seasons when visitors come off the cellar-door trail looking for a proper sit-down dinner. In a region better known for daytime larders and lunch platters, it remains the standard-bearer for an old-school Italian night out.
