Beppi's Restaurant

The restaurant was established in 1956 by Beppi and his wife Norma and is still owned and run by the family. Beppi's Restaurant is regarded as one of the most welcoming and hospitable Italian restaurants in Sydney with an unmatched tradition of providing exceptional food and service to four generations of Sydney diners. Beppi Polese has been responsible for the coaxing of the Australian palate out of its Anglo-saxon shell and introducing it to the flavours of his native Italy.

Four generations of Sydney-siders have passed through the doors of Beppi's to this day in the same location as the first day it opened.

Many Sydney-siders ate for the first time such modern mainstays of today's restaurants as mussels, octopus and artichoke at Beppi's (the mussels he harvested himself in a small boat scraping them off the pylons of the old wooden spit bridge, as he was unable to buy them).
