Fantastic restaurant. The food and wine were both beautiful, and the staff were attentive, knew the menu and were able to provide excellent recommendations. The oysters were incredible and the rabbit pappardelle hit the spot just perfectly.

We had lunch on a Monday and we had a great overall experience! FOH staff was friendly and very professional, offered to hang my coat straightaway. My partner and I decided to go for the tasting menu as it was our first time dining here. For starters we had oysters and polpetta di patate (potato cheese balls) which were both divine! Then it was followed with sourdough bread with olive oil, and burrata with kohlrabi, apple, hazelnut and saffron vinaigrette—perfect combination! For pasta we had the tagliatelle which was also good! The highlight of our meal for me was the chicken alla brace (grilled chicken) with cavolo nero (kale), roasted grapes and pine nuts. All the ingredients are just bursting with flavours especially with the kale soaked in sauce. Lastly, we had panna cotta for dessert, which was okay. My partner and I love trying new restaurants and we’ve been to Italy to try their authentic cuisine. Chianti did not disappoint! The only negative comment I would mention is that the server didn’t change our plates between meals unless we asked him to. He also seemed annoyed when we politely asked him for new plates. I just didn’t think it was appropriate to try the pasta on our plates with the vinaigrette from our previous dish. Otherwise, price was reasonable, toilets were clean, overall satisfied with our experience and would definitely come back

Absolute gem just around the corner from our Airbnb. My sister had the Rabbit Pasta Ragu which she said was as good as any she had eaten in Italy. I loved the flavours of the rabbit leg special of the day. It’s served on polenta with a tomato based sauce and olives. The desserts of tiramisu and panacotta with rhubarb were pleasantly not over sweet. We shared a Bleasedale Sparkling Shiraz half-bottle. (So good to find a restaurant that serves half bottles). The attentive service was welcome on a very busy evening with wait staff taking the time to converse. Only down side was the disco type music which was a tad loud for conversation. I appreciate that music is a personal taste. We are only sorry we don’t live in Adelaide to revisit. Thank you for a beautiful evening.
