Lucias Pizza & Spaghetti Bar

The white, curved facade of Lucia’s Pizza and Spaghetti Bar stands out in the bustling Adelaide Central Market. When Lucia and Francesco Rossetto opened these doors in nineteen fifty-seven, spaghetti was still a novelty in most Australian households. Lucia insisted on serving fresh pasta made by hand on the premises, challenging the reliance on canned goods. Her kitchen became the primary destination for local workers and shoppers to experience authentic Italian food, turning this small stall into a city institution.
