Bicicletta in the Peppers Gallery Hotel  some lovely settings to enjoy a range of good Italian dishes, well priced and well sized for sharing with friends. Situated in the nostalgic old Acton Hotel it has a restaurant, library bar and courtyard (great for summer) to choose from.

The pan di pizza is a good way to start as 8 well sized pieces are included, great for sharing.

Ordering a mix of salad, pizza and pasta to share is a good plan.

The 4 formaggi (cheese) pizza is excellent as is the insalata di stagione.

The pappardelle al braciato di agnello and gnocchi parmigiana are also good choices. (Gnocchi is a smaller serve size).

Bicicletta can get busy as it also caters for hotel guests and room service, so it pays to order promptly.

No BYO option. Glasses of wine start at $8 and serves are generous.

25%  discount up to $40 offered to holders of the Canberra Entertainment Book.
