Il Desiderio

Best Known For

Porkies Pizza: pork and fennel sausage, hot salami, broccoli, mozzarella and cherry tomato.

Good food, good wine and good friends come together at Il Desiderio on Jells Road in Wheelers Hill. Nestled in Wheelers Hill Shopping Centre, this stylish restaurant delivers an authentic Italian eating experience in rustic surrounds of painted brick walls adorned with artwork, suspended globe lighting and cosy table settings. On warm days take to the covered alfresco area and peruse a menu offering wood-fired pizza, pasta and classic antipasti such as salt and pepper calamari to start; perhaps delve into allo scoglio – fettuccine with mixed seafood, cherry tomato, Napoli sauce, garlic and parsley – as a memorable main. Pick up a slice of Paesana pizza, topped with fior di latte, asparagus, Italian sausage, olive oil and basil; before a divine dolci of Nutella pizza and strawberries.
