OUR PHILOSOPHY

Ciao!

Welcome to The Italian On The Hill,

our little slice of "La Dolce Vita" in beautiful Yamba.

​

Our philosophy is simple:
we use ​the highest quality, fresh, seasonal, local ingredients

combined with specially imported Italian products 

to create authentic dishes, served as they would be in Italy.

​​

Ospitalità Italiana - Italian Hospitality 

​

Our commitment to high quality and authenticy has been officially recognised by the Italian Government, who have awarded us the prestigious Ospitalità Italiana - "Italian Hospitality" certification for the past two years in a row.
We feel incredibly grateful and privileged to be one of only two restaurants in regional NSW to receive this honour.

The food and flavours that we serve are inspired by the

long culinary traditions of Italy's Amalfi Coast, where chef Fab was born,
and where he and wife Kathryn lived for many years. ​

We make almost everything completely from scratch.

​

It certainly takes longer this way....but we think it's worth it!

​

Many of our pastas are handmade, using premium quality imported Italian flour,

with family recipes that have been handed down through the generations. 

We love showcasing the Yamba region's abundant fresh produce,
from the delicious local seafood to farm picked vegetables and premium meats.

​

​​​

Vino! Birra!

​

To complement your meal we've sourced an extensive range of Italian wines, beers, spirits, digestives and specialty soft-drinks,
as well as Australia/NZ favourites.

We even built a dedicated wine room, to store them.

We'd be happy to help you with your selection. 
We also serve a range of delicious cocktails.

​​

For a full taste of our menu we invite you to dine in with us,

either in our air-conditioned dining room, or outside on the fully enclosed deck.

We also offer take away.

Grazie, e buon appetito!
