Regional Italian Cooking paired with Southern Highland’s Produce

Announcement posted by Moonacres 01 Oct 2019

Jimmy Nardello opens in Robertson for the Summer
The team from Robertson’s Moonacres Kitchen will open their doors on 8 November operating on Friday and Saturday nights with an a la carte style dining concept, Jimmy Nardello. The restaurant will be open over the summer until 24 January. 

Jimmy Nardello will offer the exquisite joy of authentic regional Italian cuisine cooked with seasonal and local produce from the Southern Highlands.

Under the creative vision of Head Chef Stephen Santucci, the team will deliver menus that originate from all over Italy.

“All the menus were lovingly created from hours of research into the real Italian cuisine that has been crafted and honed over hundreds of years.

“We will deliver menus that originate from the Castelli Romani hill-top towns outside of Rome; showcase secret gems from Trieste and reveal Pugliese-styled hand-rolled pasta.

“Our hand-crafted salumi’s were cured over the winter and will be featured in our summer menus.

“Many people think they know Italian cuisine; however, we will reveal another side to this richly complex cuisine,” said Santucci.

Moonacres Kitchen is associated with Moonacres Farm, the award-winning organic farm based in Fitzroy Falls.

Stephen Santucci is a hatted chef, formerly head chef of award-winning Vini, Surry Hills.

Bookings are advised for Jimmy Nardello.

Moonacres is committed to the ethical production of the best quality food from farm to table, in a manner which nurtures the land.

Moonacres award-winning produce is favoured by some of Sydney’s and regional NSW’s best restaurants, is sold at a few farmers markets and food co-ops and is available for delivery to local customers.
