Ladro

Ladro Ladro has been a Fitzroy icon since 2003, celebrated for its authentic wood-fired pizza and welcoming atmosphere.

Ladro is also the perfect place to host your next function. Whether it's a birthday, corporate event, or anniversary, their shared plates and friendly service will make it an event to remember.

Whether you're planning an intimate night out or a celebration with friends, a visit to Ladro guarantees a fantastic evening. Cin cin!

Italian restaurants are known for their delicious and authentic dishes, and Ladro Fitzroy is no exception. This Italian restaurant and pizza place is famous for its wood-fired pizzas made with the finest ingredients from local artisan producers and Italy. But Ladro's menu goes beyond just pizza, offering a modern take on traditional Italian fare with hand-made pastas, arrosto, and an extensive vegetarian and gluten-free selection.

What sets Ladro apart is its commitment to sustainability. The restaurant recycles 100% of organic waste into usable compost, keeps rooftop hives to make honey, has a no-straw policy, and uses only eco-friendly packaging. This dedication to zero food waste makes dining at Ladro not only delicious but also environmentally conscious.

On Monday nights, customers can bring their own wine for just $5 with all proceeds donated to Vinnies Vannies Mobile Soup Van to feed homeless people. This charitable initiative shows that Ladro isn't just about serving great food but also giving back to the community.

Overall, Ladro Fitzroy is a must-visit Italian restaurant in Melbourne that offers delicious food with a sustainable twist and a heart for the community.
