About Europa at the Bay

Steps from Glenelg Beach, this coastal Italian refuge turns out generous plates of handmade pasta, crisp-crusted pizza, and fresh seafood in a dog-friendly setting. Tables fill fast with beachgoers and family crews, guided by floor hosts who treat walk-ins like returning regulars. The kitchen plates hearty bowls of linguini marinara brimming with shellfish alongside tender porterhouse steaks and loaded pies. Come afternoon, patrons linger outdoors over flat whites, Italian-style frozen yogurt heaped with toppings, or a nostalgic slice of Bombe Alaska.

  • Coastal Italian Mains: Generous plates of crab-and-prawn linguini, crisp pizzas, and steaks anchor a relaxed beachside dining room.
  • Steps From Glenelg Beach: Dog-friendly alfresco tables sit moments from the sand, ideal for coffee, waffles, and breezy group lunches.
  • Specialty Sweets & Froyo: Italian frozen yogurt with customizable toppings sits alongside classics like Bombe Alaska and Fragoli.

  • Effortless Walk-In Group Dining

    Even during busy lunch rushes, large unannounced groups of ten or more are accommodated comfortably with extensive menu selections for everyone.

    We went today (Saturday) as a group of 10 without a booking for lunch, this was no issue. The 2 female waitresses were very friendly and accommodating to us.

  • Linguini Marinara

    I had the linguini marinara and it was hands down one of the best I have had - the sauce was balanced, the right amount of heat, sweetness and seasoning.
