Hemp Kitchen
After learning his father’s pizza making secrets while
growing up in Italy, Vittorio moved to Australia to work with
his friend, Emanuele. They put their heads together to tap
into a new nutrient-rich ingredient, hemp, using it to perfect
a twist on traditional pizza base and pasta recipes. They
opened their restaurant, Hemp Kitchen, with a menu full of
nutrient boosted, gluten free grainy flavoured dishes that
are hard to tell apart from their wheat-based counterparts.
With fresh products made from raw ingredients in house,
their focus is on offering healthy and fresh Italian cuisine
with a unique taste.

Chevapi Grill
Following the success of Mediterraneo Charcoal Restaurant,
Australia’s first restaurant accredited by Coeliac Australia in 2017
(owned and operated by Michael Popovic and his wife, Sonia),
Chevapi Grill was launched by Michael and his son, Stefan.
Now also accredited, Chevapi Grill offers the same authentic
flavours as Mediterraneo Charcoal Grill, just in a more casual
setting. Taking lessons learned from going through the accreditation
process for Mediterraneo, Chevapi Grill was designed from scratch
to have a separate gluten free area in the kitchen.
This makes it much easier for the whole family to enjoy their meal with
confidence for the gluten free diner.
