Sooshi Mango grew up on pizza and pasta. Here are their go-to places to eat it
Popular Melbourne-based comedy trio (and reigning Kings of Moomba) Sooshi Mango may be best known for their raucous comedy, but their fun Italian diner, Johnny, Vince & Sam' s, on Carlton's Lygon Street has made them successful restaurateurs as well. 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.
