Whats On

The History of The Founders

In 1988 we established the first ever authentic Italian wood oven restaurant located in Pulteney Street, Adelaide. Since then we have gone on to be the founders of five very successful businesses:

Settebello Restaurant (Pulteney Street, Adelaide; 1988-1996 & Newton Road, Campbelltown; 2017-2019)

Amici Restaurant (Rundle Street, Adelaide; 1995-2000)

Fellini Cafe (O’Connell Street, North Adelaide; 1997-2008)

Brunelli Cafe (Rundle Street, Westlakes & Glynde; 2008-2017)

And The Schnithouses (Rundle Street & Elizabeth City Centre; 2015-2018)

Before we retire, we have decided to bring together a culmination of our bestselling dishes from our 5 restaurants, to you, our beloved customer.

What Our Customers Say

I’ve dined here a few times now, and without a doubt it is the best venue for a well priced, high quality, delicious meal. The wood oven pizza is better than most specialty pizza shops in Adelaide, crispy base, fresh ingredients.

The porterhouse steak is cooked perfectly every time, medium rare just the right way.

The schnitzels are massive. The ribs are exceptional.

Beers on tap are ice cold and the outdoor area has recently been renovated. Good environment.

The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent. Well done!
