About 🍕48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar - Elsternwick Restaurant

Fermented dough delivers blistered crusts and cloud-light gnocchi at this bustling Elsternwick trattoria. Expect charred rims with generous folds of freshly cut prosciutto di Parma alongside pillowy gnocchi swirled in slow-cooked lamb shank ragù. Tables keep proprietary bottles of garlic-infused chilli oil within reach for crust dipping. Pre-cinema crowds often pack the floor for quick plates before screening a film next door, while the open counter lets you watch pizzaioli stretch bases to order. Pair a thin, blistered Marinara with a glass of Puglia red, and grab a jar of the house chilli oil on the counter before heading out into the night.

  • Artisan Fermented Crusts: Light, sourdough-style crusts charred to order, piled high with fresh prosciutto di Parma or burrata.
  • Handcrafted Gnocchi: Handmade, pillowy dumplings served tender alongside slow-cooked lamb shank and rich ragù sauces.
  • Open-Kitchen Trattoria Energy: Pizzaioli stretch dough and slice prosciutto in full view, steps away from the Classic Southside cinema.
  • Bottled House Chilli Oil: Tableside garlic-infused chilli olive oil, with retail bottles ready to take home from the counter.

    A dynamic open kitchen where guests watch chefs stretch dough and slice cured meats before a wood-fired oven.

    Tableside bottles of signature garlic-infused chilli oil, prepared in-house and available to take home.

    We also found their chilli-flavoured virgin olive oil to be amazing; we bought two on the way out.

    Conveniently situated beside the local cinema for seamless, fast-paced pre-show dinners paired with Italian wines.

  • Australian Native Botanical Fusion

    Classic pasta, wood-fired pizza, and desserts infused with indigenous ingredients like native pepper berry, muntries, and kangaroo salami.

    The pizza base was thin with a nicely charred crust which was toasty outside and soft and pillowy inside.

  • Di Parma Pizza

    I’m a huge fan of di Parma - the generous serving of mozzarella and hard cheese, rocket and a huge plate of prosciutto.

  • Canguro Pizza

    The Canguro pizza had a tomato base, sweet snd sour in nature, with slightly more sour taste compared to usual pizza. The kangaroo salami was easy to have as it had no strong flavour or taste as the kangaroo meat.

  • Marinara Pizza

    The pizza base was thin with a nicely charred crust which was toasty outside and soft and pillowy inside. The tomato sauce was very saucy with bold flavours from the garlic and oregano; very tasty and flavour packed.

  • Slow Cooked Lamb Gnocchi

    We ordered the slow cooked lamb gnocchi. The flavours were delicious. The gnocchi was the best I’ve tasted.
