New season,
new plates.
Wood-fired, handmade and proudly Italian, with plenty of local heroes on the plate.
From the fire,
to the table
Four menus for every kind of visit, from a quick weekday lunch to our chef’s signature dinner. Open one to see the dishes, or download the PDF.
From paddock to plate
Every plate starts with the people who grow, farm and fish for it. We cook with the best of Australian produce, from Mount Zero olive oil and Hazeldene chicken to Spencer Gulf kingfish, Goolwa pipis and Loddon Valley lamb. They do the hard work; we add the fire.
