• Italian • Barwon Heads

Booked 24 times today

We Italians like to say that a gesture is worth 1000 words. When our hands aren’t in use, creating or experimenting with canvas and brushes, marble and chisel, pan and pot, we mould air with our fingers. CHE VUOI which translates to ‘what do you want’ is often an involuntary gesture, something we can’t help doing… Like sharing our love for Nonna’s rustic family dishes, fresh homemade pastas, artisan wood fire pizzas and great wines in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. We would be humbled to see you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Ciao & Buon Appetito…

We ate at Sister restaurant Kala the night before and were blown away by that place, but this is just as good! Everything about Mona is unreal - as I said about Kala, you can tell the owners really love what they do, and it filters down to every layer - food, service, ambience. Can’t wait to plan another Bellarine escape weekend and go back to both places!!!
