Iconic Australian chef, Guy Grossi has brought his love of Italian food to Brisbane.
Grossi has opened the Amalfi-inspired restaurant Settimo at The Westin Brisbane, with diners to be taken on a culinary journey of the famed Italian coast.
Settimo is a 150-seat space, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, that expands Grossi’s empire beyond Melbourne and Perth.
Diners can expect signature dishes as well those inspired by the coast. The menu will feature an abundance of local produce as well as international hero ingredients that highlight the nature of Italian cuisine.
On the menu will be Pasta al Limone, Scialatielli all’ amalfitana, Mozzarella di Bufala, Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, Spaghetti alla N’erano, Amalfi Lemon Chicken, Guy’s Papa’s Lamb, Peperoni imbottiti and desserts such as Settimo Gelato and Delizie Al Limone and Grossi’s Tiramisù.
“I am truly delighted to be bringing a new Grossi restaurant to what is already such an exciting market for hospitality in Brisbane. We have developed a new dining concept in partnership with The Westin Brisbane and I am thrilled to bring my vision for Settimo to life,” Grossi said.
“Settimo brings a light, fun and breezy new vibe to the well-established food scene in the river city. We have created a journey for diners inspired by one of the world’s most aspirational destinations, the Amalfi Coast, coupled with the city's urban energy and sunny coastal atmosphere. We’ve assembled a team of passionate and highly skilled experts who are ready and waiting to welcome diners to the venue.”
On the team are head chef Alessandro Pizzolato, floor manager Anthony Folio and experienced Sommelier, Deniz Hardman.
Settimo is designed by Mills Gorman Architects, with the interior paying homage to the iconic coastline, its waters, bordering cliffs and Mediterranean architecture.
The restaurant also features a custom designed private dining room for up to 20 people.
Grossi is famous for the recently awarded two-hatted restaurant Grossi Florentino and Ombra and Arlechin in Melbourne and Garum at The Westin Perth.
