The 12-storey mixed-use project, led by Gardner Vaughan Group (GVG), aims to integrate modern living with the suburb’s historical character. A key architectural feature is its two-level Art Deco-inspired facade, designed to complement the surrounding area.

GVG chief executive Simon Betteridge noted that the project is intended to foster a sense of community rather than simply providing residential spaces. He added that, having been based in Nundah for over a decade, the company aimed for the development to reflect the area’s historical and contemporary elements while strengthening local connections.

Danby Lane will include 84 apartments with configurations ranging from one to four bedrooms, as well as four penthouses. The development will also incorporate ground-floor retail spaces, commercial areas, and several resident amenities.

All one-bedroom apartments have been sold.

The penthouses, featuring larger layouts and high-end finishes, are priced up to $3.199 million.

Each apartment is designed with open-plan living spaces, spacious balconies, and modern finishes. The main bedrooms include walk-in wardrobes and ensuites.

Just like how it’s traditionally done in the Northern Italian region, the pasta bar makes all the pasta on-site, using free-range eggs and flours. They also have vegan pasta, such as the gnocchi di patate, which are made with no eggs.

Here, you will find tigelle, a type of bread with filling that’s considered a staple in traditional eateries across Emilia Romagna. It’s cooked in a hot iron and filled with all sorts of toppings.

One of their must-tries here is Tagliatelle with Bolognese Sauce. Tagliatelle is a flat and long pasta made from fresh egg and flour, known for its relatively rough texture ideal to hold all sorts of sauces, especially Bolognese sauce.

Sharing platters include Tagliere di salumi (platter with a selection of meats), served with house breads; and Tagliere di formaggi, which includes different types of cheese.

Leave room for dessert, because they have chocolate pudding, tiramisu, and affogato to conclude your meal.

The restaurant is a fully licensed, no BYO restaurant. Since its opening in late 2022, locals have been raving over its curation of wines, such as the Bericanto Pinot Noir, a red wine from Northern Italy to accompany your pasta dishes.
