Deli-cafe by day, elegant-restaurant by night. Tesoro Gastronomia is a testament to the belief that a dining experience need not be fussy to be fantastic.

The seasonal menu pays homage to our Italian roots, presented in a modern context, we explore Italian cuisine's greatest hits whilst taking advantage of the beauty and bounty of seasonal local ingredients.

Tesoro exists to share our passion for the beauty and simplicity of Italian cuisine, and 100% of profits are either donated to local charities or used to sponsor the arts & events in the local community. As a collective, we recognise that our parents & grandparents sacrificed to give our generation the gifts of opportunity & prosperity; so Tesoro was created in their honour to pay their legacy forward.

    Hadn't been here for a while and bought a friend who had not been here at all. She loved it and wants to try dinner here on a Friday night in a few weeks. This was late breakfast and I had a savoury muffin and my friend had a frittata. Both were ex cellent and the coffees were great. I then found space for a beautiful cannoli and she had tiramisu which she said was "to die for". The personnel are friendly but not intrusive and there is plenty of merchandise to look at as well as prepared food to take home. Casual but a bit special too...love it.

    We hosted my friends baby shower lunch here on a Sunday afternoon and it was amazing. The staff, especially Frederica, was so accommodating and even allowed us to stay longer than the 2 hour sitting by moving us to another table. The service was fantastic, food was delicious and incredible value for money. Highly recommend!! Thank you

    My friend and I enjoyed four entrée style dishes. They were DELICIOUS! It was my first time there during lunch hour. It was VERY busy but the staff members, as always, did a great job. I don't want to recommend this place as it is fairly small and there'll be no room for me in the future!!
