About Vicini
Vicini is one of Sydney’s favourite Italian inspired restaurants, serving spectacular food and wine in a beautiful but relaxed environment. New owners, Michael Cleary, Nathan Lusted and Richie Ragel have a passion for amazing fresh food, professional service and the odd glass of good wine.
Together with Restaurant Manager, Noeleen Goncalves they plan on maintaining what’s always been great about Vicini while introducing some new spirit and energy into this Inner West institution.
RICHIE RAGEL has led large teams of people in a diverse career covering property development, advertising and Production. An Inner West local, he’s committed to his community and to making Vicini the best dining experience this side of the Anzac Bridge. He’s normally a Panthers supporter but is happy to cheer on the Tigers when they’re playing!
MICHAEL CLEARY has lived in Annandale for years and is an active member of the community, especially when it comes to supporting the many local pubs in the area! He sits on the Operations Board of Australia’s largest advertising agency, and has over 13 years experience in management.
NATHAN LUSTED has spent 20 years in banking before shifting focus on careers into hospitality and the running of restaurants and hotels. Like Michael and Richie, he is also an Inner West local, and is looking forward to delivering a great experience to the diner in Annandale. Nathan loves delivering experiences that exceeds expectations and he brings that steadfast focus on the customer to Vicini.
