A small neighbourhood bar that continues to draw the crowds and satisfy an appetite for Italian.
When original owners Ryan Bookless and Tania Nicolo opened Mummucc’ a few doors down from their wildly popular Monsterella Pizza, it was a union that the people of Wembley could get behind – going between the two is a night in itself. The name was a reference to Nicolo’s heritage – in the dialect of Abruzzo, it means mother. So how does it fare under new ownership when the set up was so personal? Well, you can still order a Monsterella pizza to the bar and the shelves are still bursting with wines that draw a crowd. On the question of food beyond calling down the street, the small bar menu is now riffing on the Sicilian heritage of owner James Stefanuto plus delights from a little further afield. Grilled rustic Sicilian sausage, gnocchetti sardi, crudo using the market fish of the day, asparagus fritti or sweet ricotta torte could all be in contention. Forgot to grab a bottle to BYO at Monsterella or developed a taste for a particular drop? Fear not, Mummucc’ does takeout.
