Village gets an Italian soul - Daily Telegraph. August 2023
Antica Australis has featured in the Daily Telegraph's special edition for the national Bush Summit this week:
THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT THAT GAVE A TINY VILLAGE ITS SOUL BACK
With a population of just 270, Carcoar isn't an obvious choice on the foodie map. Or it wasn't, until Paolo and Kelly Picarazzi started Antica Australis, and diners began coming in droves.
"Italian steelworker Paolo Picarazzi had a vision and took to heart the old mantra that if he built it they would come.
And food lovers have come in droves to his hyper local Italian locanda, Antica Australis, in the tiny village of Carcoar, 30 minutes south of Orange."
