Embark on a culinary journey around the Adriatic coast at OLIVELLO Restaurant on Gregory Hills Drive in Gledswood Hills. Presenting a slick and suave interior with crisp white walls, statement circular pendant lights and rich purple-hued velvet curtains, OLIVELLO invites guests to linger around white table settings, ideal for intimate leisurely dining. The seasonal menu showcases local produce with family and sharing at its heart, reflected in entrees like ricotta and Parmesan gnudi, pancetta, sage and almonds, or grilled Fremantle octopus with cannellini braise and ajvar. Perhaps delve into rabbit ravioli with wild garlic and sage butter, or slow-roasted buttermilk grass-fed lamb as the main affair and for a sweet finish, try an amaretto, hazelnut and chocolate semifreddo.
