Settimo
The latest from Melbourne restaurateur Guy Grossi, Brisbane’s Settimo is a love letter to the Amalfi coast. With every pasta twirl and sparkling limoncello spritz, the restaurant channels its namesake — Italy’s most celebrated coastal region – from the tang of grilled swordfish to the sweetness of ricotta-stuffed cannoli.
The show-stopping arrival, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in the 150-seat space, is sure to add a new perspective to Brisbane’s world-class dining scene. A line-up of coastal-inspired dishes infused with Grossi’s signature Italian flair and intuitive service will be showcased in the elegant yet warm, airy setting.
Designed by Mills Gorman Architects, Settimo’s aesthetic is inspired by the sun-soaked Italian coastline and its smattering of colourful villages. Split-face stone, terrazzo and custom-designed terracotta are nods to the aquamarine waters and cliffs of the Amalfi coast while muted tones, handmade brick and timber accents reflect the terraced hillside towns. Pops of lemon yellow and pastel blue evoke the seaside vibe.
The name of the restaurant, meaning “seventh” in Piedmontese dialect, is a nod to both the comune’s proximity to Turin (seven Roman miles) and its historic significance as Rome’s seventh-century capital. Its meaning is further underscored by the restaurant’s bespoke wine list curated by sommelier Deniz Hardman (formerly of Nobu). The list offers a diverse range of international and Australian wines, including several Granite Belt drops.
