Both a restaurant and an aperitivo bar, Enoteca Lounge and Cucina is the East End’s premium Italian dining experience.

Be instantly charmed on entry, with its contemporary yet time-honoured fit out, red velvet upholstery, elegant tableware and welcoming ambience.

Partners in life and in business, owners Natalie Fazzari and Alessandro Ennor work with the ethos of treating all produce with care and respect, with every plate a reflection of this.

“One of our main focuses is using fresh, local ingredients in creative ways”, says Co-owner Natalie Fazzari.

“It’s the essence of making great food—a philosophy passed down from my father, Enzo, who has decades of experience in the Adelaide culinary scene” 

“While our Italian influence is strong, we are intentional about exploring new ideas and flavours, often drawing inspiration from other cultures”, says Natalie.

Enjoy a menu of small plates, antipasti, homemade pastas, generous mains and delectable desserts, all derived from fresh, local ingredients.

“We care deeply about what we serve – every dish is made with passion and attention to detail, and we hope that comes through with every bite”, says Co-owner Alessandro Ennor.

“Our goal isn’t to be fancy—it’s just to offer food that feels special and leaves you wanting to come back”.

In-house, dry-aged premium cuts of beef, market seafood and seasonal fruit and vegetables are on show, and make for an array of innovative and evolving dishes.

An extensive drinks list highlighting South Australians rich wine history, as well as Italian and international grape varieties accompanies the food offering.

“South Australia is home to some truly remarkable wines, and we’re excited to showcase that diversity,” says Natalie. 

“At the same time, we feature a carefully selected range of Italian and international wines to offer something unique for those looking to explore beyond local favourites”.

“For us, it’s not just about the food, it’s about bringing people together – the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones is at the heart of what we do, we want every experience here to feel warm, memorable, and truly special”.

Whether you’re looking to pop in for a drink at the bar, stay for a meal or celebrate an event with friends, Enoteca Lounge and Cucina is ready to welcome you for a taste of Italy like no other.
