Rye · Mornington Peninsula

Italian food is not
a cuisine. It's a
love language.

Coastal Italian dining on Rye beach — fresh, seasonal, handmade.

Handmade pasta, fresh coastal flavours & cocktails with ocean views

Our Story

Salt Is the Oldest
Flavour on Earth

Before sugar, before spice, before fire — there was salt. It preserved history, crossed oceans, and started revolutions. At Salt di Italia, we honour that legacy with coastal Italian cooking rooted in tradition and driven by the best seasonal produce the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.

From the first morning espresso to a long lunch of handmade pasta, through to sunset spritzes and wood-fired dishes under the stars — every plate, every pour, every moment is made with the care and generosity that Italian hospitality demands.
