Helmed by Will O’Brien, who opened the store after cheffing in hatted Sydney restaurants for years, Arno specialises in porchetta panini, negronis, and more than two dozen Italian and Australian wines by the glass.
Its biggest seller is the “number seven” panini with prosciutto cotto, mortadella and provolone, among other fixings, but O’Brien’s go-to is the “number two” loaded with porchetta, eggplant and cos lettuce. “It was inspired by the massive porchetta sandwich that was on the first menu at Da Orazio in Bondi,” he says.
Best for: A top-drawer sandwich and knockout wine.
