Seafood Marinara Pizza
We ordered the seafood marinara pizza. It had calamari prawns, scallops muscles from New Zealand and fish. Everything was cooked to perfection on its own. Just the seafood would be a perfect dish but it was on top of a delicious Pizza cooked a perfection to be the best seafood pizza we’ve ever had.

Particularly enjoyed their vegetarian rosé linguine (can choose the type of pasta!) from their lunch special. Creamy, and perfectly al dente!

Before you head over
Practical tips for timing your visit, selecting tables, and planning for groups
Book early for pre-event dining
If you are heading to events at the Adelaide Zoo or nearby venues, book an early mid-afternoon table around 4:00 PM to dine ahead of standard dinner rushes and get out with plenty of time.
Choose street seating or indoor tables
Opt for pedestrian-facing outdoor tables on Rundle Street to soak in street performers and festival energy, or choose interior seating if you prefer to avoid street traffic noise during rush hours.
Navigate the broad menu for groups
The extensive menu features generous portions across traditional pizzas, pasta, and steaks, alongside dedicated kids' selections and gluten-free pasta options to accommodate mixed parties easily.
