Proud to see Geppetto Trattoria recently featured by Melbourne Insider as we continue celebrating more than four decades of family-run Italian dining in East Melbourne. Since 1981, Geppetto has remained proudly family owned, serving traditional Italian food just moments from the MCG with the same warm hospitality and honest approach that has defined us from the very beginning.
The article explores our story, from Nino Cea’s roots in Puglia and the early days of the restaurant, through to today as the next generation continues the tradition alongside long-standing staff and loyal customers. It also touches on our handmade pasta, fresh local produce, daily seafood specials and the role Geppetto has played in Melbourne’s dining scene over the years. ()
A huge thank you to Melbourne Insider for the thoughtful feature and ongoing support of independent Melbourne hospitality.
