We dined here for the second time, and tried the banquet option for our special occasion. Absolutely phenomenal. We can't believe how beautiful everything tasted. The care and thought that the chef goes into making these meals didn't go unnoticed. It was a beautiful space to dine, the staff were lovely and the chef looked so happy cooking for an entire restaurant on her own on a reasonably busy night. A true sign of someone who loves her job. This is now our go-to restaurant for special occasions.

About the restaurant

Breeze of Italy is a family-owned Italian wine bar created with love and a true sense of togetherness.
We’ve created a warm, intimate space where friends gather, stories are shared, and everyone feels welcome.
Each week, we offer a fresh selection of wines by the glass, paired with our signature warm bread with parmesan butter, authentic Italian cheeses, and charcuterie sliced to order. From Mediterranean olives and
anchovies with romesco sauce to baked tomino, lasagna, and eggplant parmigiana — everything is served with genuine Italian hospitality.

We went to Breeze of Italy to celebrate my son's birthday and it was lots of fun. In fact, it seemed like we were in Italy. The owner is Italian and is a great personality. The food was authentically Italian and very well-priced. The house wine was good too.

About the restaurant
Tucked down a laneway, housed in an industrial building, you'll find our quirky pizzeria. Our vibe is super casual and we love to see our customers sharing pizzas, beers and enjoying life. Our space is ideal for large groups, but also for families and couples.

Were all about the pizza! Pizza Napoletana is authentic pizza from Naples, and we make it according to the generations-old technique....with just a little of our own twists here and there. Our dough is made in-house and fermented for a minimum of 24hrs to create a tasty and light base - minimal yeast so no bloating here. Then its hand-stretched, topped with quality ingredients imported from Italy AND sourced locally, and cooked at a fiery 400 degrees.

We do other stuff as well - starters, sharers, salads, homemade desserts, and gelato. Plus cocktails, imported and locally brewed beers, and some carefully selected wines from independent wineries.

About the restaurant
Market Bistro will open from 11.30am 7 days a week, offering a classic “bistro style” menu featuring house made pasta, and a great selection of dry aged meats and a bunch of export quality local seafood.

Our wine list will be interesting, constantly evolving and feature predominantly Australian and New Zealand producers.

A unique feature of the Bistro is the fact you can walk into & purchase wine from the Wine Store for retail prices then drink it in the Bistro (for a small corkage fee.)

Market Bistro will be a stylish, casual restaurant that is not stuffy or pretentious... It is professional, casual & truly local.

About the restaurant
Nestled on the waterfront, our restaurant brings the authentic flavours of the Greece to your table. Savour our signature golden saganaki cheese, perfectly crisp on the outside and irresistibly gooey within, alongside our slow-roasted lamb shoulder, seasoned with traditional herbs and cooked until meltingly tender. Paired with fresh seafood, vibrant Mediterranean salads, and breathtaking waterside views, every meal is a celebration of Greek hospitality, where great food, fine company, and the sea come together.

I ordered the sticky pork belly and rice, it was delicious! My husband had the lunch time parmigiana which was more than ample and our overseas guests had the burger and the steak sandwich. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their lunch, it was tasty and also a great price and even though it was a public holiday there was no surcharge. We will definitely return.
