Every Friday and Saturday evening from 14th August to 12th September, we’re opening our doors from 5pm to bring you the flavours of our travels through Italy!

Rustic Italian Nights is a dinner series inspired by the summers Dougie & Bel have spent in Rome visiting family, drawing upon the trattorias, markets, and street corners that stole their hearts. With years of experience cooking in Italian restaurants across Melbourne and London, Dougie brings both the heart and the craft to dishes you won’t find on a typical Italian restaurant menu — move over pizza!

Settle in for a relaxed evening of generous, soulful plates designed to be shared, paired with a glass of something good and the kind of warmth only Italy can inspire.

Bookings are essential — reserve your spot online today. Buon appetito! Five weekends only!
