🎉 Please join me in wishing a very happy 40th birthday to Mario! 🎂

Yesterday, Mario marked this milestone with an unforgettable celebration full of great friends, pizza, tiramisu, expertly crafted cocktails by and endless laughter! A few of the Pentolina team gathered to share in the fun and reconnect with the legend who always kept things running smoothly—always with that iconic smile on his face (and yes, often with a glass of wine in hand!).

Here's to you, Mario—cheers to all the great moments still to come! 🍷🍕

Missing chef Gabriele's incredible food but can’t make it to Bangkok? I highly recommend taking a short trip to Sincero in Malvern, where you'll be treated to exceptional Italian dishes from his best mate, chef Mirco Speri. These two culinary masterminds often discuss recipes late into the night, so there’s a good chance you’ll get a taste of Pentolina's essence at Sincero! 🍝✨

But be ready—Sincero isn’t your typical Italian restaurant. It’s for adventurous diners who value creativity, technique, and quality - so it's no surprise that many of the Pentolina team have made their way to Sincero since it opened in March! 🎨👨‍🍳

Cinzia, Fabio, and Daniele — Sincero’s passionate owners — are adding a fresh perspective to Melbourne’s Italian fine dining scene. The menu honours traditional Italian flavours but reimagines them for the future. Think upside-down bruschetta, seaweed spaghetti with Moreton Bay Bugs, and even a carbonara-inspired dessert! 🍽️ The future of Italian cuisine looks bright indeed. 🌟

With years of experience in Michelin-starred and hatted restaurants, you’re in good hands. And if the warm, professional service feels familiar, it could be because Cinzia and Fabio were regulars at Pentolina — it was their favourite spot! 🥂 Sincero is their second venture, following the success of Buono in Parkdale (another highly recommended spot).

Sincero is definitely worth visiting, and don't forget to mention you’re a Pentolina guest when you're there — you might get a little extra love from the team! ❤️

🌟A MESSAGE FROM JULIA 🌟 I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new public relations (PR) agency, Beyond & Above PR! 📣🚀 💥

ICYMI, Pentolina got me started in PR. After opening Pentolina in 2018, I decided to handle my own PR campaigns – I’d previously been working as a lawyer and public policy adviser, so it was quite straightforward to transfer across my analytical, writing and communications skills. I really enjoyed reaching out to the media to pitch for stories about Pentolina, and it was thrilling to see Pentolina featured multiple times in Broadsheet Melbourne , The Age , Herald Sun , A Moveable Feast (Channel 7 TV), ABC Radio, Delicious and many more!

After closing Pentolina in 2022, I started working as a freelance Publicist, handling PR campaigns for other businesses - and found that I loved it! ❤️ Not just for restaurants – also for product and service-based businesses.

💡 What type of PR do I do? 💡I get editorial media coverage (not paid ads) for businesses across the Australian media including newspapers, magazines, digital media, TV, radio and podcasts. If you’re doing something extraordinary in business, the public wants to know about it so the media will write about it at no cost to you! PR can be much more effective than marketing - it’s the fastest way to skyrocket public awareness of your brand and boost your sales, inquiries, website hits and SEO. 🚀

So if you (or someone you know) is a dynamic entrepreneur or SME with a trailblazing product, service or restaurant, and you’d like more public attention – I’d love to hear from you ❤️📞

Keen to help? Please follow the Beyond & Above PR page and spread the word across your networks 🙏 🙏🙏

Ever wonder who's behind all the beautiful images on Pentolina's social pages? 📸🍝
Today I'm turning the tables (or should I say, camera?) on Pentolina's "unseen hero" - photographer Kit Edwards 👏
We were so lucky to find a photographer who not only understood our vision, but was able to communicate the passion, skill and generosity that underscored every dish we plated up ❤️
And it's no surprise that Kit became an essential part of our Pentolina family. Kit may be an Aussie by birth, but he has an Italian soul - he speaks fluent Italian and teaches the language in his spare time! 🇮🇹
Thank you Kit for bringing our vision to life, and for creating enduring images that will keep our memories alive for years to come 🙏
Scroll down to see a photo of Kit, pictured with another unseen hero of Pentolina... leave a comment if you know who it is! 😉
And be sure to DM .edwards.photo if you need outstanding photography. As well as hospitality photography, Kit is highly sought after for corporate photography and videography.

New South Melbourne supper club Castlerose is positively bursting with great food, wine and hospitality – and Pentolina connections! ❤️🍷

Castlerose is the creation of Philippe Perrey (Pentolina’s original restaurant manager) and Glen Bagnara (hospo legend who was an adviser/consultant on the setup of Pentolina).

Phil and Glen’s passion for good food, wine and hospitality is second to none – you’ll feel it the moment you descend the spiral staircase to commence your decadent feast!

If the food from head chef David Yuan tastes familiar, it could be because David worked with Glen at Hemingway's wine bar - which many of you will remember from our home delivery collab during lockdown in 2021! I'm always floored by David's creativity, and the Castlerose menu is no exception. From confit duck "ci**rs" and pork pie "party pies" to lobster rolls, roast chicken and steak, David knows how to put an original (and delicious!) spin on wine bar classics 😋

Phil, Glen and David are very hands-on in the business and love seeing familiar faces, especially Pentolina fans. So be sure say hi when you visit 👋... and summon the roaming vintage cheese trolley before you leave! 🧀

And for exceptional daytime dining, check out Clementine, the sister venue on the ground floor. David's menu takes classic brunch fare and smashes it into the next stratosphere 🚀 After all, why settle for generic eggs bennie when you can have Lobster Florentine or Scotch Eggs or Breakfast Soufflé? 🤤

📍67–69 Palmerston Crescent, South Melbourne
🍷Castlerose is open Wed–Sat, 4pm–late
☕ Clementine is open Mon–Fri, 7:30am–3pm and weekends, 8am–3pm.

Ever wonder how the Pentolina staff got through those long shifts? Often, it was thanks to a tray of delicious cookies and brownies from Salt 'N' Caramel Melbourne!

Salt N Caramel was created by passionate baker Meleena Vongvixay in 2019 with the support of her partner, Pentolina sous chef Riccardo Bonasegale - and a little help from their son Luca (mainly taste-testing 😉).

Mel uses top quality ingredients in all of her cookies, brownies and desserts - plus a healthy serve of ❤️ - so it's no wonder they're the best I've ever tasted! 😋

Visit www.saltncaramel.com.au to view the range and order online.

The gorgeous Easter range is out now, and the cookies are super-cute!

You can order online for pick up in Mernda next week, or snap them up at the markets this weekend -
Nanna's Twilight Makers Market (Mernda), March 22
Kinglake Market, March 24

Mel, Ricky and Luca are much-loved members of the Pentolina family - Ricky was an absolute star in the Pentolina kitchen (and occasionally FOH) for over 2 years, including through all the lockdowns; Mel helped us out with a few shifts behind the bar in 2022; and Luca was our number 1 gnocchi taste-tester!

So be sure to stock up when you're looking for a great gift, or little indulgence for yourself or your family. There's no sweeter way to get a serve of Pentolina spirit! ❤️

Congrats Mario on your promotion to Store Manager Cellar, Dan Murphy's Prahran! 👏🥂🍷
It's great to see Mario take the next step up the ladder at Dan Murphy's, after 18 months as Wine Merchant at Dan's Cheltenham.
Anyone who experienced Mario's hospitality at Pentolina will agree - anything Mario doesn't know about wine is not worth knowing! So be sure to stop in and say 'hi' the next time you're in Prahran 👋
You can also follow him on Insta () to stay up to date with his adventures and wine recommendations.
Salute! 🍷

🌟 PENTOLINA TEAM UPDATE 🌟
Did you know that aroma accounts for 80% of how we perceive flavour, compared with just 20% for taste?

Noemi Trenta, Pentolina's reservations manager, has worked in restaurants for most of her life. So it's no wonder that she discovered a passion for enriching the world with beautiful scents - and her candle business Mya Collection is the result! 🕯️

All of Mya Collection's candles, fragrances and diffusers are lovingly hand-made by Noemi, and the scents are tailor-made for lovers of Italian food - think cinnamon vanilla, frangipani and summer melon 🌸

And the great thing about Mya Collection's candles is that you can personalise them with names, dates, quotes etc. That's why it's called "Mya" Collection - it's based on "Mia", the Italian word for "mine" (yes, Noemi is Italian!), and gives the idea of something that is made just for you.

So if you're looking for a fantastic gift - or a little something to spoil yourself - and you'd like to support the Pentolina community, head to Mya Collection and check out Noemi's gorgeous range of products. Shipping is available Australia-wide.
