Pasta, pizza, tiramisu? Yes, yes. But here’s proof that dinner without gluten is possible – and delicious.

Italy is not the friend of the gluten free. Or is it? We have a hearty menu that textured, comforting, vibrant, and every bit Italian, without the gluten.

The Snack

Do these crisp Italian pickles as a snack to have with drinks to start.

Drinks writer Mike Bennie says, “This is a great menu for experimenting with some of Australia’s lesser known grape varieties that are indeed very familiar to those from Italy. Look for vermentino, fiano, barbera and finish with a spritz to refresh.”

Drink match: Australian vermentino (try Trentham Estate La Famiglia Vermentino)

The Main

This Italian fish soup flexes its mussels, and we’re impressed.

Drink match: Fresh feeling fiano (try La Prova Fiano)

The Dessert

Excess of figs? (Can we have some?) This sorbetto is an impressive finale to your Italian feast.

Drink match: Campari Spritz (try Prosecco with a good shot of Campari and a slice of orange)
