An exciting new dining destination is coming to Sydney.

Nestled within The Lands by Capella precinct in the heart of the CBD, SPEZIA is a 130-seat open-air Italian courtyard restaurant inspired by the rich traditions of Italian hospitality and the forgotten spice routes that once shaped its cuisine. Set within a beautifully restored sandstone courtyard, SPEZIA will offer an elevated all-day dining experience from morning espresso and leisurely lunches to aperitivo, dinner and late-night cocktails.

As we prepare to open our doors, we're looking for passionate hospitality professionals to join our SPEZIA family and help bring this exciting vision to life.
