How we read reviews →Casterton's riverside Italian gem. Nino's handmade pastas, gelato, and weekend-only magic.
An eclectic, warmly decorated space with a distinct copper room and a lush outdoor garden bordering the Glenelg River. The interior is quirky and charming, the courtyard leafy and tranquil. somewhere between a European trattoria and a country oasis. Owner Nino sets the tone with genuine hospitality, occasionally serenading guests.
Owner-operated by Nino who personally greets and sometimes serenades tables; beautiful riverside garden with large water feature; the standout copper room; staff will amend dishes to accommodate dietary preferences; complimentary atmosphere rarely found in regional Victoria.
Authentic Italian heritage driven by owner Nino. handmade gnocchi, fennel meatballs, pastas, and gelato reflect a genuine Italian kitchen sensibility rather than a generic Italian-Australian interpretation.
Priced fairly for the quality and setting. Visitors travelling through note they would gladly pay more for the experience. Couples and groups consistently report high satisfaction relative to spend.
