    The restaurant was established in 1956 by Beppi and his wife Norma and is still owned and run by the family.

    Beppi's Restaurant is regarded as one of the most welcoming and hospitable Italian restaurants in Sydney with an unmatched tradition of providing exceptional food and service to four generations of Sydney diners.

    Beppi Polese has been responsible for the coaxing of the Australian palate out of its Anglo-saxon shell and introducing it to the flavours of his native Italy.

    Four generations of Sydney-siders have passed through the doors of Beppi's to this day in the same location as the first day it opened.

    Many Sydney-siders ate for the first time such modern mainstays of today's restaurants as mussels, octopus and artichoke at Beppi's (the mussels he harvested himself in a small boat scraping them off the pylons of the old wooden spit bridge, as he was unable to buy them).

      Wow, my boyfriend surprised me with a birthday dinner at Beppi's last Friday night, and i was impressed to say the very least. Apart from the amazing cellar seating, the service, food and drinks were spot on. The value for money was excellent, the wait staff were attentive and 11/10 for the food. I would recommend Beppi's to all my friend’s and family. A fantastic experience and a GREAT birthday surprise!!   (lil_sez5 - June, 2012)

      First time at the restaurant. The service was excellent however our table placement was not the best. The food was very good and the wine selection superb. Would recommend.   (December, 2007)

      The stuffed zuchini flowers arrived on the table in about 5 mins, straight from the microwave, as did the tasteless whitebait fritters. The garfish was lifeless and cooked to death, very easy to do for a chef with no talent. The price for this with a bottle of wine and a fogettable dessert, $150 per head. They must be joking!!!! I think dining in Sydney has left Beppis in the past, where it belongs.   (whitto - December, 2007)

    Chefs

    Joe Camilleri - Joe Camilleri began his apprenticeship testing out different cuisines however it was in the 2nd year of his training when he joined Eugenio Riva at Darlinghurst’s Ristorante Riva, that his passion and flair for Italian and Mediterranean cooking really came to the fore. Joe detoured from Italian food for a while when he left Ristorante Riva to work with Peter Conistis at Eleni’s where he was his Sous Chef for 2 years. In 1999 Joe moved on from Eleni’s to Mezzaluna Ristorante where he began his relationship with Marc & Norma Polese, part of Sydney’s oldest restaurant family dynasty, where he rose through the ranks to become Head Chef. Then, in 2008 when the Polese Family sold Mezzaluna, Joe decided to stay in the fold by joining Beppi Polese at Sydney institution Beppi’s Restaurant as Head Chef where he remains today. Joe is also involved in other food activities outside of his kitchen such at cooking for CIRA (Council of Italian Restaurants in Australia) doing various cooking classes such as Sydney Seafood School and Barilla House as well as at charitable functions.
