The Menus

Our menus celebrate hand-rolled pasta, flavourful sauces and fillings, alongside oven-baked and grilled dishes.

At its core, the restaurant is modern Italian. Many dishes remain faithful to classic recipes and techniques, guided by our Italian chef, while some are gently influenced by Australia’s multicultural food scene and subtle Asian nuances, adding a lighter touch and an unexpected twist.

This story is personal. The owner, Australian with Italian roots, grew up immersed in both cultures. That dual heritage naturally shapes the kitchen, blending Italian warmth and authenticity with the openness and creativity of contemporary Australia.

We craft our pasta fresh daily and partner with trusted local, sustainable suppliers to ensure exceptional ingredients in every dish.

Our wine list showcases a curated selection of international wines, with particular attention to Italian and Australian labels.
