About Table 48

Table 48 turns Bakery Hill into a reliable dining stop with hearty Italian comfort, fresh seafood, and warm hospitality. Perfect for road-trippers midway along the highway or families packing out a booth. Regulars point newcomers straight to the fettuccine carbonara, garlic chilli prawns, and tender Chicken 48, while window tables offer a clear sightline of pizzas sliding straight out of the prep station. Owner Gus works the floor nightly, rearranging tables to squeeze in late-evening walk-ins over plates of freshly shucked oysters and crisp parmas.

  • Owner-Led Floor Hospitality: Owner Gus regularly manages the dining room personally, accommodating walk-ins and late arrivals even during peak dinner rush.
  • Open Pizza Kitchen: Diners can watch pizzas assembled and baked fresh from viewing seats along the dining room.
  • Cash Payment Benefit: Settle the bill in cash to receive an automatic 5% deduction off the total check.
