• Italian • Barwon Heads

Booked 42 times today

We Italians like to say that a gesture is worth 1000 words. When our hands aren’t in use, creating or experimenting with canvas and brushes, marble and chisel, pan and pot, we mould air with our fingers. CHE VUOI which translates to ‘what do you want’ is often an involuntary gesture, something we can’t help doing… Like sharing our love for Nonna’s rustic family dishes, fresh homemade pastas, artisan wood fire pizzas and great wines in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. We would be humbled to see you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Ciao & Buon Appetito…

• Greek • Ocean Grove

Booked 5 times today

A family friendly, modern Greek restaurant. Catering to dietaries, large bookings or private functions, as well as takeaway options. It is so natural for the Greeks to be drawn to hospitality roles that there is even a word with deep historical significance to describe it. ‘philoxenia’ ~ translating to ‘friend of a stranger’ (philos: friend and xenia: stranger). It is accepted as synonymous with hospitality, a willingness to share hospitality generously, and is even suggested to be part of the Greek DNA. When you dine at KALA you are no longer a stranger. You become part of the family. Kali Orexi!

I love this place it’s always busy, has a great atmosphere and just up the road from home in SAB. The beer (strapper) is always yum plus the pizzas are the best on the peninsula. As it was 36 degrees, it was hot and the water on the table was warm…but the lady bought some ice over to cool our drinks down. Service is always great when you’re seated in a stall as you really don’t have to move and everything is done for you plus they constantly come over to check for drinks and stuff. Food comes out quickly and is always delicious. We were seated in the 1st stall, the LIVE music was awesome. I would ask next time to be seater a bit further away as sitting that close it was hard to hear each other talk. That’s the only thing I would say, being that hot I suppose it wasn’t too bad as I didn’t have to talk much lol.

Delicious, reasonably priced lunch. A variety of pizzas on the menu along with other good options and plenty of platters to choose from. All the pizzas sounded delicious it was hard to choose. Very attentive and friendly staff. Loved that along with amazing wines you could order cocktails or enjoy the Farm Dog vodka or beers.
