About πŸ•48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar - Italian Restaurant in South Yarra

Exposed brick, tight tables, and the hum of a packed room. 48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar delivers authentic regional Italian comfort anchored by a strict two-day dough fermentation. Melbourne pizza fiends show up for the blistered cornicioneβ€”charred, thin, and sturdy through the center. Order the Di Parma and the kitchen serves your prosciutto elevated on a wooden board over the crust, keeping the base crisp until you fold each slice together. Past the oven, tables share pillowy 48-hour gnocchi, porcini pasta cooked firm to the bite, and house-made chilli oil kept within arm's reach.

  • 48-Hour Leavened Pizza: Naturally leavened for two days, yielding a charred, blistered crust that stays sturdy under tomato and melted fior di latte.
  • Artisan Gnocchi & Pasta: Handcrafted traditional pasta, including signature pillowy potato gnocchi and earthy porcini ribbons cooked firmly al dente.
  • Hands-On Pasta Workshops: Interactive sessions teaching traditional gnocchi technique, complete with lunch and pre-measured ingredients to cook at home.
  • High-Energy Dining Room: Warm brick dining room buzzing with close tables, fast floor service, and coveted sidewalk high-top seating.

  • 48-Hour Naturally Fermented Crust

    Pizzas feature a 48-hour slow-fermented base engineered for optimal digestibility, yielding an airy, blistered crust that stays crisp and structurally sturdy.

    Extensive vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free adaptations ensure diners with strict dietary needs enjoy authentic Italian flavors without compromise.

    Great menu with lots of options for anyone with dietaries. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options for myself.

  • Heartfelt Family Hospitality

    Attentive, welcoming service treats multi-generational tables and special family celebrations with genuine personal warmth.

    They were so so so lovely with my children. It was my 7 year old's birthday and they bought a candle out in her icecream and sung happy birthday with us.

  • Interactive Gnocchi Masterclasses

    Hands-on masterclasses demystify traditional pasta preparation with direct chef guidance, a shared lunch, and pre-measured home ingredient kits.

    The goodie bag we got had everything for us to make a batch at home all weighed out.

  • Authentic Italian Provenance

    A beverage selection featuring traditional Italian sodas instead of mainstream colas underscores an uncompromising commitment to cultural authenticity.

    The choice not to serve Coca-Cola but its Italian counterpart is a beautiful conceptβ€”it really highlights how these guys want to proudly represent their country of origin in this city.

Guest favorites from 48-hour fermented crusts to hands-on culinary workshops.

  • Di Parma Pizza

    The Di Parma pizza stole the show with its amazing flavors - tomato sauce, mozzarella, fiordilatte, buffalo mozzarella, rocket, parmigiano, and a huge plate of prosciutto di Parma.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful culinary rituals, educational masterclasses, and warm hospitality that turn dining into an occasionβ€”book your table early to secure your spot.

  • Elevated Di Parma Plating

    The Di Parma arrives with a generous mound of premium prosciutto di Parma served on a wooden board suspended directly over the hot pizza base, letting you drape the cured meat yourself at the exact temperature you prefer.

  • Masterclass Take-Home Kits

    Participants in the gnocchi masterclass are treated to a relaxed gluten-free gnocchi lunch with wine, then sent home with custom goodie bags containing pre-weighed ingredients to recreate the recipe at home.

  • Imported Italian Soda Curation

    Staying staunchly faithful to Italian dining culture, the beverage list intentionally eschews ubiquitous commercial soft drinks like Coca-Cola in favor of traditional Italian sodas.

  • Celebratory Birthday Gestures

    The floor team turns family milestones into shared dining room moments, personally delivering candles in birthday desserts and joining in song with guests.
