Origini, Castlemaine – The Age Good Food app listing

A charming bolthole with chequered tablecloths and a concise menu of northern Italian classics, this family-run eatery has been a Barker Street mainstay for 15 years. It’s now only open on Fridays and Saturdays, but you can still expect the same warm service and home-style dishes like pasta, meatballs, tasting platters and spezzatino, a slow-cooked meat casserole dish. House vanilla panna cotta and tiramisu sweeten the deal.
