Italian Restaurants in Adelaide and SA

Italian culture is embracing and passionate. This is expressed very well by its dining culture. Sharing a meal is a big part of life, so dinner is broken up into eight steps – aperitivo (a drink enjoyed before the meal), antipasto (an appetiser), primo (first course of soup, pasta or risotto), secondo (second course of meat or fish), formaggio e frutta (cheese and fruit), dolce (dessert such as zabaglione), caffe (latte anyone?) and digestivo (a drink like Limoncello) to finish the meal.

Why not try the Italian way? Here are some of the best Italian restaurants in your capital city.
