Casa D'Italia

In Vermont, Melbourne, Casa D'Italia invites guests to linger over Italian cooking that values simplicity, seasonality, and time-honoured technique. The restaurant offers a warm, inviting atmosphere where flavours speak for themselves and the festive spirit shines through each course.

The menu begins with homemade ravioli filled with beef and pork, served in a light tomato sauce with basil, a gentle nod to la cucina della nonna. Arancini follow, with a crisp shell and molten heart enriched by buffalo mozzarella, Napoli sugo, and fresh basil. These opening dishes set an easy, unhurried tempo for the meal.

From there, the kitchen moves between land and sea with poise, featuring chicken breast filled with taleggio and wrapped in prosciutto, or grilled barramundi with salsa, sesame paste, crushed potato, lemon, and parsley. To finish, diners can choose between cannoli siciliana with dark chocolate custard and pistachio crumble, or the timeless tiramisu.

Casa D'Italia is the perfect place in Vermont to slow down, share a meal, and savour a true taste of Italy.
