Parente Ristorante is Adelaide's Authentic Italian Restaurant, Drive Through Pizza Pick Up, and family function center.
It's not always about food (But food comes first) ;)
The family trilogy Antonio (Tony), Grace and Steven who each possess unique skills and each provide management in the separate area of the business.
Antonio who managers the takeaway, Grace the kitchen and stock control, Steven the alcohol and floor staff.
When Antonio initially visualised the future of these old run down premises as a "Drive-Thru" pick up food outlet -it was a dream come through.
With some minor changes to the structure of the property Antonio and Steven redeveloped the take-away into a formal dinning room with the added facility of a private function room.
Grace soon developed a a menu to was affordable to family dinning and detailed enough to come second two years in a row in the best restaurant awards.
Steven says, "It's all about the quality of our food. We make everything fresh, even the pizza bases, and we use local suppliers to support the community".
Tony says, "We want people to eat here and have a memorable night. We want couples, families, friends to have a great time, and look back in years to come that their great night was with us."
One of the passions outside of the restaurant is owning and restoring classic cars that define moments in the automobile history.
Come on down and check out or have a chat with Tony about his award winning 2011 Carnevale Concourse de Elegance 1968 Fiat 500 known as the "bambino" along side his perfectly restored 1966 Vespa.
As part of celebration of the award we have the vehicles on view in the restaurant. Yes, IN the restaurant.
