"Produzione Artigianale” means strong attention to detail and passion for our culture.A wide selection of wines, freshly baked bread on arrival and top quality extra virgin olive oil will never be missing.The warm welcoming atmosphere, the thick accents and the genuine flavours are perfectly blended, casting a spell that transports you straight to Italy.We have always been driven by the clear and ambitious intention to provide great traditional food, attentive yet friendly service and all around consistency.

Our memorable Omni experience was one of decadence, sophistication and paramount quality. The ocean trout cigars are a standout, you cannot go past the steak, tartare which is constructed at your table, and the lamb is complex and succulent throughout. Outstanding service elevates a relaxed atmosphere, and the selection of local and international wines on offer guarantees satisfaction. Exquisite from the moment we walked through the door until we walked out. Would return in a heartbeat, and will.
