Gigi’s Osteria – Opening Soon

A little while back, we hinted that the team behind celebrated eateries Beccofino and Julius was working on something new. The anticipation has almost killed us, but we’re excited to reveal that 2025 is the year we finally get to experience it. Come mid-year, Paolo Biscaro, Cordell Khoury and the team will lift the cloche on Gigi’s Osteria – a smart Italian eatery nestled in the ever-growing Long Island precinct in Newstead, joining the likes of Baker D. Chirico and Evra Marketplace. Gigi’s will be more refined than its older siblings – although a woodfired oven will be at the centre of its kitchen, we’re assured it certainly will not be a pizzeria. Instead, expect generous bowls of glistening handmade pasta, melt-in-your-mouth grilled fish and meat dishes kissed with the smoke of woodfire. The osteria will also boast a considered wine list, featuring an impressive selection of Italian and Australian drops. We’ll have more details on Gigi’s Osteria in the coming months, including its yet-to-be-announced chef. Keep an eye out for updates!
