Nestled within the iconic former Sebel Townhouse, Divino Osteria honours Elizabeth Bay’s rich cultural legacy with a space that blends a relaxed atmosphere with authentic Italian dining.
The restaurant is inspired by founder Anthony Alafaci’s deep Italian roots and his vision to recreate the warmth of a family kitchen. The atmosphere feels like a warm embrace from a Southern Italian nonna, where every dish is crafted with love and tradition.
Head Chef Andrea Di Stefano, hailing from Catania, brings a mix of home-style Sicilian cooking and Michelin-starred technique to the table. Expect handmade pastas, stone-baked pizzas from a custom brick oven, and slow-cooked sauces built on seasonal, locally sourced produce. Standouts like the herb-crusted Costoletta d’Agnello (lamb cutlet with beetroot purée and potato terrine) and the oversized wagyu ravioli Medaglioni (MBS9+ wagyu, brown butter & sage) showcase the kitchen’s dedication to depth and flavour.
