Whenever Chris Lucas opens a restaurant on Flinders Lane, things tend to go pretty well. There was Chin Chin, which caused a tectonic shift — for a good few years at least — in the way that Melbourne restaurants looked and behaved.

Grill Americano is inspired by Northern Italy's renowned steakhouses and namely Bistecca alla Fiorentina, the signature Tuscan dish of a thickly cut t-bone steak, traditionally cooked over hot coals. Alongside a host of other steaks on and off the bone , you'll also find woodfired pork belly, grilled swordfish and roasted scampi. Bistecca alla fiorentina.
