Ciao Dandy: Pop-up Spritz Bar & Italian Kitchen

Ciao bella! The ultimate Italian soiree is soon to land in Karrinyup, taking over Dandelion for a limited time summer residency.

It’s time to open the group chat - Parker Group (The Royal, Fleur, Willi's Pizza Bar, The Standard, Busselton Pavilion, Dandelion) is excited to announce the impending arrival of Ciao Dandy, the Northern suburb’s newest summer pop-up - an effortlessly cool Italian spritz bar with endless summer vibes, taking over Dandelion for a strictly limited time. Launching Friday, December 6, Ciao Dandy promises a season of bold coastal Italian flair, bright colours, and the irresistible charm of la dolce vita. Think vibrant umbrellas, Mediterranean hues, and a spritz bar transcending you to the iconic Sicilian coast.

In the kitchen, Parker Group Head of Culinary Brendan Pratt and Dandelion Head Chef Matthew Payne are bringing you a taste of coastal Italy, with fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and shareable bites perfect for retail pitstop grazing, or a balcony lunch with the crew. The vibe? Fresh, flavourful, and designed for those long, lazy lunches with a sunset spritz in hand. Let’s not forget the little ones - a menu just as exciting will keep them sat in one spot.

And when it comes to cocktails, Elise Godwin, Distiller of Dandelion’s own gin and vodka label, Fine & Dandy, has created a stunningly comprehensive spritz lineup, with a shaken, fizz, and no & low cocktail menu that’s pure homage to the Mediterranean coast – the summer of the Hugo Spritz, we see you.

A respite from December’s Christmas shopping madness? You’ve just found it.  Whether it’s a festive get-together, a chic afternoon catch-up, or the ultimate girls summer day out, Ciao Dandy is the place to be this season. Bookings are now open, get in quick because this Italian coastal dream won’t last forever!

Buon appetite and see you on the West Deck.
