What a fabulous experience in a unique building and gorgeous surroundings. Chef Vincenzo La Montagna’s focus is on house made, house grown and locally sourced produce that delivers a striking modern flavour. The menu embraces tradition and much loved flavours of the Italian kitchen. Their new style and menu created in late 2019 is stunning. The “Feed Me” menu is great for sharing, reasonably priced and just superb.
