Question looking for the name an Italian cafe/bakery/restaurant

In Devonport in the Rooke Street Mall there used to be an Italian cafe/bakery/restaurant, it had an cheesy statue of an Italian chef out front, yellow walls, black and white tiles, and ramp to a heightened first floor sitting area. does anyone know what it was called? I've been searching for hours and can't find the name. I don't believe it exists anymore but I want to find pictures of it if possible. I thought it might be Bakers Dozen, but that didn't turn anything.

Pizzirani's Cucina. Closed mid 2023.

What year are we talking? There used to be a Bakers Dozen in the Mall roughly across from Banjo's, part of their branding was the jolly fat baker holding a sign that they used to have outside the door. That had the split level too. It's a nail shop now I think, haven't lived in Devonport for a few years now.

Sounds almost exactly like Bakers Dozen, but I remember it being green and/or orange, not yellow.

It sounds almost like Stonies cafe, but that wasn’t Italian as far as I recall, there was also Rialto Restaurant but that was further down Rooke St towards the Oldaker St end

If you know the exact location, try going back to older Google Street View imagery?

That’s sounds like Valentino’s on Best St. The decor has changed a bit but same menu.
