• European • Tullamarine

Since opening in 2000 Fieste has been serving European cuisine with a family touch, 3rd generation European restaurateur, 364 days a year. We believe in the hands on approach; so much so that you can find owner Roberto Giuseppe Panuccio Hernandez spinning dough in the kitchen or front of house every day of the week. Not only is there a wide ranging menu and friendly staff but both locations also have private function spaces available to book. Fieste has something for everyone. If you are looking for simple comfort food our gnocchi with Napoli sauce is hard to beat, but if you want to crank it up a notch then try our Rib Eye steak with a selection of seasonal sauces.

My family and I came here for a family reunion which went amazing. We had half the restaurant tables next to the window and the function space for the dance floor. Recommending to anyone looking for a space for a special occasion for that authentic Italian family feel.
