Olivignia

A short 45 minutes’ drive from Melbourne's CBD, Olivigna is simply breathtaking.

The restaurant interior seamlessly combines both classic and contemporary design and is constructed with Tuscany in mind. A wonderful sense of warmth wafts through the air complemented by large picture windows allowing plenty of natural light to stream in and affording patrons with breathtaking views overlooking the stunning vistas of the produce growing on the land, including a vegetable garden, vines, and an olive grove.

The service at Olivigna is both warm and attentive. The dining room is marshalled by excellent service staff. The rustic Italian cuisine is matched by locally produced Italian varietals and a selection of Pietro Gallus Estate own estate-made wines and particularly stunning award-winning grappa and spirits.

Highlights include the braised and marinated octopus and the Bistecca alla Fiorentina. For sweet tooths the desserts are also excellent. Think panna cotta with chocolate dipped candied orange and Torta di noci – a crumbly walnut tart with oozy salted caramel sauce.

Surrounded by a vista of vines, Olivigna is the perfect spot to take in the beauty of the region over excellent food accompanied by a glass of Australia’s best grappa.
