The History of The Founders: In 1988 we established the first ever authentic Italian wood oven restaurant located in Pulteney Street, Adelaide. Since then we have gone on to be the founders of five very successful businesses: Settebello Restaurant (Pulteney Street, Adelaide; 1988-1996 & Newton Road, Campbelltown; 2017-2019) Amici Restaurant (Rundle Street, Adelaide; 1995-2000) Fellini Cafe (O’Connell Street, North Adelaide; 1997-2008) Brunelli Cafe (Rundle Street, Westlakes & Glynde; 2008-2017) And The Schnithouses (Rundle Street & Elizabeth City Centre; 2015-2018) Before we retire, we have decided to bring together a culmination of our bestselling dishes from our 5 restaurants, to you, our beloved customer. We are looking forward to another successful fringe season for our patrons.
