Geppetto's Celebrates 45 Years of Italian Dining in Melbourne on Dirty Linen Podcast

To celebrate our 45th year in East Melbourne, Adriano Cea recently joined respected Melbourne food writer and podcast host Dani Valent on the Dirty Linen podcast to reflect on the restaurant’s journey, his dad Nino who founded the business and the evolution of Melbourne’s food scene.

In the conversation, Adriano shares stories from growing up with his dad Nino at the restaurant, the importance of family in Italian hospitality, and why some traditions - like our much-loved Pasta Mista - continue to hold a special place in Melbourne dining culture.
