Family, Food & Hospitality

Founded by Nino Cea, Geppetto Trattoria has become part of Melbourne’s Italian dining tradition over the decades. Inspired by the hospitality and flavours of Puglia, the restaurant remains family-run under his son Adriano Cea, serving generous handmade pasta, risotto, slow-cooked meats and fresh seafood in a warm and welcoming setting.
