MISTER GROTTO

+ DETAILS

Scope of work

Housed in the historic 1915 H. May Building, Paisano & Daughters is a unique destination offering four exceptional restaurants and three boutique two-bedroom apartments above them.

Among the restaurants is the original Continental Deli, established in 2015. A long-time favourite for locals, it’s also a popular stop for travellers—often the first visit after landing and the last before heading home.

Ten years later, it was joined by sibling restaurants Flora, Mister Grotto and Osteria Mucca. Together, they capture Newtown’s vibrant, fun and welcoming spirit.

Newtown itself is a hub of creativity and community, home to beautiful parks, unique shopping, the world-renowned Enmore Theatre, and some of Sydney’s best bars. It’s this lively mix that makes “The Inner West is best” more than just a saying.

“GROTTO – a small cave, the kind of place where you feel comfortable, cozy and protected from the harsh realities outside.”

Mister Grotto is a lively, fast-paced, 30-seat seafood restaurant that feels somewhere between a fisherman’s cabin and a boat, right in the heart of Newtown.

Australia is home to some of the world’s finest seafood, with its vast coastline and unique waters providing an incredible variety of species. Mister Grotto brings this abundance to your plate, letting the produce speak for itself while honouring the suppliers and fishermen whose passion and commitment to excellence ensure the highest quality in every dish.

Drawing inspiration from all things from the sea, Mister Grotto serves playful cocktails and a vibrant, curated wine list to complement our menu. Watch our team shuck oysters, prepare fish from the raw bar or fire up the charcoal grill to craft a mix of classic and reimagined seafood dishes.

Book or walk in — everyone’s welcome.
