Customer Reviews
“What a gem, this is a beautiful Italian restaurant with a family ethos and 100% hand made menu, from Pizza to Pork Belly you just can't go wrong.
Just amazing wholesome food.”

“Great atmosphere to enjoy Hahndorf’s best Italian food. Italian food is always good (let’s be honest), but this place elevates its flavours to star quality.
This gem of a place combines classic Italian taste in an environment that seems ripped out of Italy.
The food is only rivalled by the atmosphere - a perfect blend of old school with a modern feel. There’s great options for food in Hahndorf, but this place must be on your list ”

“This restaurant - what can I say, except that the owners and waiters treated us like we were family. The food was amazing and the singer sounded like a mix between an opera singer and Italian elvis. His singing gave the place a great vibe. More than a restaurant. An eating out experience. Will recommend this to friends.”

“Very good restaurant. Since my arrival in Australia I was often disappointed by the wines and the desserts, and well here I was delighted. The pasta was delicious and the portion was copious. The red wine and the tiramisu for dessert were excellent.”
