OPEN for business






I'm exhausted!


It has been a few months of blood,sweat and tears but we have reached the end of the arduous tunnel and the result is one of true happiness.

Our Italian restaurant has finally opened and the response has been very positive. My hubby and I with the help of many a great tradesman completely made over this magnificent building. We are situated in the Adelaide Hills in the leafy English style village of Stirling.

The cuisine on the menu is Italian, a dream I have had for many years.

We serve only the freshest locally sourced produce. Adelaide Hills region prides themselves on producing amazing quality ingredients for us foodies to create with.

My very dear friend Micheal Murphy ( smellier of award winning wine list fame) has jumped on board to give his guidance on the wine list. We have plenty to choose from, the area lends itself to producing great White's. The list is predominately local with a splash of the Coonawarra and the Mc Claren Vale regions.

Our pizza oven finally arrived last week!!  Very limited menu for pizza, only 6. The rule of our pizza making is LESS IS MORE... our chef ( Jim who is Italian) specialises in pizza and together we have created simple and delicious flavours to top our Lauke Flour semolina bases.

An example is the "FUNGI"  marinated Swiss brown mushrooms,spinach,tallegio cheese and a squeeze of lemon.

So this venture has been keeping me extremely hectic as well as running KINDERCHEFS and looking after my most hilarious little toddler who has the vocabulary of an english professor!

Hope to be back posting soon,

Take care and enjoy yourselves over this festive season.

Ciao.
