Gepetto's at Hahndorf

Best Known For

Linguine Frutti di Mare: linguine tossed with SA whole prawns, local calamari, fish, blue swimmer crab meat and local black shell mussels, sautéed with cherry tomato, white wine and extra virgin olive oil.

When only the best will do, head to Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills and have an indulgent time gorging on authentic Italian fare, at Gepetto’s. Find yourself sitting in Gepetto’s workshop with a wall mural of Pinocchio on one side and a blackboard used for scrawling specials or love notes on the other, along with all the fun coming from tables in between. Open for lunch and dinner, perhaps find dishes like Hervey Bay scallops, wrapped in pancetta and oven baked, dressed with salsa verde and served with lemon wedges to begin. Pasta lovers will salivate over housemade gnocchi, fresh tomato sugo, basil, oregano and garlic, finished with buffalo ricotta and shaved Parmesan; while those with a pizza bent may opt for a slice of seaside, topped with prawns, calamari, mussels and fior di latte.
