About The Team

We're a team bound by a shared passion: bringing the heart of Italy to Strathmore, Melbourne. Under the guidance of our owner and chef, Sergio, a proud son of Trapani, Sicily, we've embraced a vision that goes beyond serving meals. We believe in creating moments that matter, where strangers become friends over shared plates and clinking glasses.

Sergio's philosophy shapes everything we do: "Food is not just food. Food is the culture. Food is family. Food is a journey." This belief fuels our commitment to every guest who walks through our doors. We're here to welcome you like family, share in your stories, and make sure every visit feels like coming home.

What Our Guests Say About Us

  • Donatella Dall Olmo

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Delicious pizza. I absolutely think it's the best in Melbourne!

    Thin, crispy dough with a ridiculous amount of sausage!

    We'll definitely be back, despite the hour-long drive from our house.

    Why don't you open another place in Highett, where we live?

    Congratulations to Sergio and all the staff.

    We'll see you soon.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Absolutely outstanding! 👌

    Hands down one of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had. Every dish was packed with authentic flavour , beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The customer service was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The vibe of the place is just perfect, lively, cozy, and full of good energy. From start to finish, everything was top notch. Can’t wait to come back!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Wow! We attended this restaurant last night for my brother’s birthday, and I have to say the food and service were absolutely amazing. We tried the pizzas wow! Salt and pepper calamari wow! Spaghetti pescatore wow! Lasagne wow! Veal parmigiana wow! Everything was spot on. It’s not a big restaurant and doesn’t seat many people, so make sure you book ahead, but that’s exactly what makes the atmosphere so special. Highly recommend!

    Love this little gem! The food is consistently delicious and the service is always warm and friendly. Definitely one of my favourites. Music was a little bit loud, but could still talk.
