Since opening in 2000 Fieste has been serving European cuisine with a family touch, 3rd generation European restaurateur, 364 days a year. We believe in the hands on approach; so much so that you can find owner Roberto Giuseppe Panuccio Hernandez spinning dough in the kitchen or front of house every day of the week. Not only is there a wide ranging menu and friendly staff but both locations also have private function spaces available to book. Fieste has something for everyone. If you are looking for simple comfort food our gnocchi with Napoli sauce is hard to beat, but if you want to crank it up a notch then try our Rib Eye steak with a selection of seasonal sauces.

    Booked a table for two with my wife to have a quiet dinner and drink. Cal and his team did not disappoint. A nice little snack for dinner a couple of ice-cold bevvies on a Thursday evening was perfect. We have enjoyed this local gem since opening and it never lets us down, good, honest food, cold drinks, great atmosphere and exceptional service. Lulu's has very easily become our local and regular for an easy dinner out. If you have not had the good fortune to experience the hospitality of Cal and his team, do yourself a favor and make a booking. BTW, try the Mango Sour (as recommended last night by Cal) it certainly hit the spot :)
