A wide ranging menu to accommodate all dietary desires, with possibly the finest tiramisu; dark cacao, proper sponge to soak up good espresso and not too sweet - perfetto.

“ Our experience at La Famiglia was security be to none. Going on recommendation from some family friends, the entire afternoon was very enjoyable and were accommodated by the excellent staff that worked impeccably to ensure the meal was on point. We went for the three course Sunday menu (22.50pp / Feb 2019) and had Crab & prawn cocktail followed by a Leg of Lamb and a Limoncello Cheesecake. Each course was beautifully presented and at a good reasonable speed. As we had our three year old little girl with us, they were great to accommodate us in a nice quiet corner of the restaurant. The interior was lush and we all commented on the staff and experience as a whole being perfeto! Grazi Grazi ”
