Rock Lobster was our father's favourite dish....

Our family emigrated to Australia from Italy in the 1930s. Over time they opened several restaurants. They moved from Gorfigliano Garfasnana and basically put the food and recipes they ate at home on the plate in their restaurants for potential customers. The 'Continental Grill' and 'Bistecca Grill' were two restaurants that our grandmother Aurelia owned in Pinjarra and the inspiration for two of the sections you will find on our menu.

My grandmother , always in black and speaking nothing but Italian, placed great importance on patience when cooking and the simplicity of ingredients that matched. My father developed this further with awareness and respect for customers as the restaurants became more of a business.

I remember as a young child making tomato sauce and fresh pasta. I was always watching my grandmother and smelling the pots of sauce, every now and then being rewarded with bread, olive oil and beef tomato.

As my father developed as a chef he grew into the classical environment of catering and kitchens as he began to travel the world but he never forgot the family times and memories that he carried with him.

This is what made us, and Rock Lobster is a tribute to those times.
