Celebrate Italian National Day at Gold Coast’s acclaimed waterfront restaurant Ristorante Fellini. The team at Fellini invites food and wine lovers to join them for a meal in commemoration of this cultural day for Italians, with a specials menu that will take diners on a journey through the regions of Italy.

Festa della Repubblica is celebrated by Italians on June 2 to honour the day in 1946 when Italians voted to abolish the monarchy and form a republic. Fellini will salute the diverse republic of Italy with special dishes available for one day only. Emphasis will be given to the colours of the Italian flag – red, white and green – as the chefs commemorate with classic and contemporary dishes.
