Enoteca Lounge & Cucina

2nd time visiting! The sourdough bread and Focaccia was amazing, with the chilli-olive oil dipping sauce complementing the bread so well. Octopus was surprisingly tender and juicy. The duck ragu pasta was one of the best I have ever had- Duck was so tender, pasta perfectly al-dente! The service staff were really lovely. Price is on the higher end but really worth it for the food!

We just had a beautiful meal at Enotica. We met Alessandro the owner, who was so passionate about his food, his team and the venue. It's just so hard to find authentic Italian food. Tourist food is everywhere, but the real deal is rare indeed. Firstly we had perfectly cooked and stuffed fiore de zucci (sorry, no photo, too tasty). We also had Peperonata, a really intriguing charred capsicum, pine nut pesto, puree appetiser, with dots of whipped feta and focaccia. We also had short beef rib tagliatelle, an easy 10/10, the highlight of the meal. It had hand made noodles, perfectly cooked with a great "chew". The prawn linguini we had was a little strong for me personally, though others may enjoy it. Very generous serve. We had grilled greens, which was lightly charred broccolini, snow peas, beans etc, with with pesto, balsamic dressing and I think a magical pea-based sauce. The team should be very proud of what it has achieved here. It is easily world class. Congratulations.

Booked in for my birthday dinner with fam and loved it! Great service throughout the night, always making sure we had everything we needed, Sandy even got happy birthday written on my cake plate which was a lovely gesture! Food was fab loved the zucchini flowers and prawn pasta had just the right amount of chilli 👌🏽 definitely recommend.

Where Italian hospitality meets Adelaide charm... Enoteca e Cucina completely exceeded our expectations. We wandered in without a booking and were still welcomed in straight away, which already set the tone for the night. The atmosphere was cosy and intimate, tucked away on a lovely street that gives the place a charming, almost European feel. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Every staff member was friendly and attentive, and the owner himself came over to introduce himself and check in on us - a really thoughtful touch that made the experience feel personal. The highlight of the night, though, was dessert. I spotted my favourite cheese on the menu one that’s notoriously difficult to find in Australia - and couldn’t believe my luck. After chatting with the owner to confirm its authenticity, it arrived beautifully presented, generously portioned, and paired perfectly with two glasses of red wine. Absolute heaven. Price-wise, everything was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food, service, and experience. We left feeling genuinely delighted, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend

Love, love, love! We were in Adelaide for a long weekend and found this amazing resturant as it was a recomendation in a Adelaide guide magazine in our hotel room. So glad we picked Ecoteca, the food was amazing, atmosphere great and the owners so accommodating. We ordered the fiori di zucca, scallops, linguine with king pawns, quail and Tiramisu and they gave us a complimentary salad. Lots of places claim to have the best Tiramisu, but this is the best Tiramisu.

Nice vibe in the restaurant, classy. Good service. Mixed on the food. The polpo was perfectly cooked and delicious, the salmon was ok but the fennel tasteless and watery, the lamb was dry with a sauce nothing but sweet, and the pappardelle too al dente with very little garniture compared to other pictures that I’ve seen in the reviews. Overpriced and disappointed. Sorry 😢

The service and food went well beyond our expectations. Even though the restaurant was packed, with tables filled right out to the street, the staff were incredibly attentive. From the moment we ordered, both entrées and mains arrived promptly and flawlessly. The house-baked sourdough was absolutely addictive, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable compared to Sydney and Brisbane.
