Sooshi Mango grew up on pizza and pasta. Here are their go-to places to eat it
Two years after opening, queues for the walk-in-only venue still snake down the street, with diners keen to experience the restaurant's home-style Italian cooking, note-perfect nod to nonna-style decor and an always fun and lively atmosphere.
The menu, created in collaboration with Johnny Di Francesco of award-winning pizzeria 400 Gradi fame, is an ode to the dishes they grew up eating – spaghetti and meatballs, lasagne and cotolette [schnitzels] among them.
The two-level restaurant was inspired by a now-closed Camberwell eatery where two-thirds of Sooshi Mango, brothers Joe and Carlo Salanitri, would dine with family as youngsters.

'Clean air, less traffic, fresh food—Australia is a privilege': Bianca King on the joys of slow living and family life in Australia
Filipina actress Bianca King moved to Australia to start a new chapter with her husband and embrace a quieter, more mindful lifestyle. Bianca King has built a strong presence in Philippine television through diverse roles in popular series such as Mulawin as Aviona, Sinner or Saint as Noemi Manansala, and Luna Blanca as Luna. She also took part in well-known dramas like MariMar, My Only Love, and Dyesebel Motherhood reshaped her priorities, leading her to focus on balance, presence, and well-being. While her days no longer revolve around showbiz tapings, Bianca hasn't stopped creating. She's shifted behind the scenes—writing, filming, and producing thoughtful digital content that reflects her values. Bianca first arrived in Australia in March 2020 for what was meant to be a two-month stay—just as global borders closed due to the pandemic. 'There was an option to go back home,' she said, 'but at the time, life in Australia felt like the better choice.' Soon after, she got married and began building a new life in a country she now sees as a blessing. Now a mother and passionate advocate of mindful living, Bianca finds purpose in everyday rituals—slow mornings, nourishing food, movement, and time with family. I've always lived simply and mindfully—long before it became trendy. Bianca King, Actress Long before wellness and sustainability became buzzwords, Bianca had already built her life around conscious choices. Her transition to life in Australia only deepened that mindset. 'Living here made me realise I'm not a city person,' she explained. 'We gravitated toward the countryside, where we could be close to nature, breathe clean air, and raise our daughter with space to grow.' Now raising a toddler in Australia, Bianca says her days revolve around rhythm, routine, and presence. 'A typical day starts at 5 a.m. before my daughter wakes up. That's my time to work quietly, to think, or edit content. Then it's all about her until nap time—when I work again.' Bianca sees returning home as a way to reconnect with her roots and enjoy the rich social and cultural bonds that are harder to find abroad. Bianca's passion for mindful living has shaped both her personal life and career. She curates her online space, Bianca King, with intention. The space is filled with beautiful imagery, recipes, and stories that reflect her love for home life and wellness. With a degree in filmmaking, she now creates content for Australian brands—mostly product-based, off-camera work that allows her to stay true to her values and manage her own time. 'I'm a professional mother and wife—but I still have personal goals. I'm ambitious. I've been working since I was 10, and I still want to create and contribute.' Letting Go of the Rat Race Though she no longer works in mainstream entertainment, Bianca says she's more fulfilled now than ever. 'I'm not in the rat race. I don't chase social status. I value peace, presence, and time with my daughter. The things I care about now are so different from what I used to value.' Still, she hasn't closed the door on her past life—or her dreams. 'Just because I'm content doesn't mean I've stopped dreaming. I'm always manifesting, always open to what's next.' 📢 Where to Catch SBS Filipino

Bridal Waltz's stunning upset over She's An Artist in Creswick Stake no surprise to Peter Moody
Bridal Waltz flipped the script on hot favourite She's An Artist to win the Listed AR Creswick Stakes (1200m) at Flemington Saturday. The Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained filly led the field up and refused to wilt as She's An Artist chipped away late. Bridal Waltz finished third behind She's An Artist the start prior but could not be headed on Saturday as jockey Jamie Melham indicated a two-week turnaround potentially worked against the favourite. 'She went into that (last start) probably slightly underdone and was ready to peak today,' Moody said. 'Obviously respectful of the two that beat her comfortably the other day (She's An Artist and Fieldelo) but we thought we were in the wrong part of the track too. 'We were quietly confident we could turn it around, we just had to hope the favourite maybe wasn't as good as the hype.' Bridal Waltz 😲😲 The Melhams battled it out down the straight as odds-on favourite She's An Artist loomed to win for Jamie, but couldn't get past Bridal Waltz for Ben! You couldn't script it (and most punters didn't!) ðŸ'°ðŸ'ƒ @BMelham @moodyracingpgm â€' 7HorseRacing ðŸ�Ž (@7horseracing) July 5, 2025 She's An Artist started $1.30 favourite but could not reel in $13 chance Bridal Waltz. Duchess Zou finished off nicely to grab third from Fieldelo. Moody said Bridal Waltz would be freshened up for early spring targets. 'We'll let the dust settle and then pick our mark carefully through the spring,' Moody said. 'We won't get too excited, Listed (today) if we could work on Group 3, Group 2, we know she can run down the Flemington straight. 'The Bobbie Lewis is a nice race where some other horses are maybe getting ready for bigger targets if you're ready for the day you can maybe sneak one of those.' Jockey Ben Melham controlled the race from the outset. 'We drew the right barrier to control the speed, I felt from that draw I'd be able to dictate the rest of the field,' Melham said. 'That was probably the difference, in saying that though, my filly dug really deep when I needed her to. 'I was able to control the race, control the speed, she's a fit horse, and let down too good for them in the end.' Melham joked about the potential repercussions of upstaging wife Jamie, the rider of She's An Artist. 'I'd be a fair chance of sleeping in the spare room, I'd imagine,' Melham laughed. Jamie Melham told stewards She's An Artist raced well but two weeks between runs blunted her finish being only a small filly.

Tennis journo stuns world with ‘disrespectful' question to star
A reporter has stunned Brit star Cameron Norrie and left the tennis world aghast with a question that has been described as 'disrespectful' and 'pathetic'. After Norrie defeated Italian Mattia Bellucci in straight sets, 7-6, 6-4, 6-3 to enter the fourth round of Wimbledon, he then took his chair in the press room to answer questions, so he thought, about the largely forgettable match and his form. But what followed was not what he expected and, for what it's worth, not what other journalists expected either. 'Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating. Can I ask if you're dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?' the reporter asked, much to the surprise of Norrie. Raducanu is obviously another rising Brit star on the tennis scene. And the world No.40 just got a standing ovation from the adoring crowd after losing her Centre Court match to Aryna Sabalenka 7-6, 6-4 on Saturday morning (AEST). Norrie was shocked. 'Sorry?' he said. Cameron Norrie celebrates winning his match against Mattia Bellucci on Day 5 at Wimbledon. Credit: PA Images via Getty Images The reporter continued: 'I'm trying to find out who's dating Emma Raducanu. It seems to be going around all the men's singles. I was wondering if you're dating her, please?' Norrie: 'I'm not. No. You can ask her though.' While Norrie clearly handled himself in a dignified manner, the exchange infuriated the tennis world. Popular social media account the Tennis Letter was scathing. 'Cam Norrie being asked about Emma Raducanu's dating life in his Wimbledon press conference is a new all time low,' they said: And respected tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg said: 'Even for British tabloids at Wimbledon, this is a yiiiiiiiikes.' Fan raged. 'It's pathetic. Tennis journalism at its worst. Completely disrespectful towards Norrie and he shouldn't have entertained the question at all. Also, just curious how many people are even remotely interested in Raducanu's dating life?' one fan blasted on X (formerly Twitter). 'Omg, who would ask that?' another said. And several fans thought a media ban was appropriate. 'It really is (appalling). They should not be allowed back in the press room,' a fan said. And another: 'That 'reporter' needs to be banned.' Norrie — a 2022 Wimbledon semi-finalist — will now face Nicolas Jarry in the fourth round after Jarry defeated Brazil's rising teenage star Joao Fonseca 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-6 (7-4) on a raucous No.2 Court. He is the last British man standing, keeping the home fans happy after they were disappointed to see Jack Draper depart on Thursday. Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz has survived a 'stressful' afternoon, coping with a barrage of booming serves from veteran German powerhhouse Jan-Lennard Struff to take his unbeaten streak to 21 matches and keep his Wimbledon hat-trick ambitions on course. The Spanish champion knew all about the danger of the 35-year-old Struff, having been knocked out of the 2021 French Open by him when he was an emerging star and then also getting stretched by the towering German over five sets at the following year's Wimbledon. And the same old problems emerged again on Friday when, after Alcaraz had eased through the first set, Struff, who blasted down 13 aces in all, responded brilliantly to clinch the crucial break for 5-3 before levelling the match. But Alcaraz, who'd also had a serious workout from another veteran, Fabio Fognini, over five sets in the opening round, once again found another gear to prevail 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 in two hours and 25 minutes. 'I knew it was going to be really difficult and I had to be focused on every shot,' said the 22-year-old. 'His game suits the grass, big serves, coming to the net, so I'm pleased with everything I did today. Proud to get the win in four sets. 'To be honest I was suffering in every service game I did. Lots of break points down. It was stressful,' added Alcaraz, who set up a last-16 date with 14th seed Andrey Rublev, who eased past veteran French leftie Adrian Mannarino 7-5 6-2 6-3. Taylor Fritz, who had already negotiated two marathon five-setters over three days to reach the third round, needed another three hours and 12 minutes to get past Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Yet though his workload has been massive and he's had issues with his knee, he reckons he's actually feeling stronger as each match goes by as he gets ready to face Australian Jordan Thompson, four-set victor over Luciano Darderi, in the last-16. A surprising face in the last-16 draw will be Poland's world 109 Kamil Majchrzak, who beat Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (8-6) and will next face Russian 17th seed Karen Khachanov, who finally beat Portugal's Nuno Borges in a match tiebreak 7-6 (8-6) 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-6 (10-8). - With AAP
