Come on a journey to Italy from the heart of the Gold Coast at Pepe Italia on Connor Street in Burleigh Heads. This stylish restaurant delivers modern Italian dishes with a twist created using local and imported ingredients, in rustic surrounds of painted brick, a Vespa scooter perched on the ceiling beams, trailing greenery and statement pendent lights. Offering small bites, entrées and pasta from a menu curated by Italian Chefs and designed for the modern palate; say ciao to a starter of beef carpaccio, pickled enoki, chocolate drops, smoked salt, crostini and peanut butter. Delve into pasta plates like slow-cooked lamb shoulder pappardelle, tomatoes, pecorino and capers; or Hiramasa kingfish steak, lemon potatoes, chilli and garlic sautéed cime di rapa, crème fraiche and purple chips.
