Cecconi's

Melbourne’s Bortolotto family – have created a succession of modern Italian restaurants where food, wine, service and atmosphere blend beautifully together.

Bortolotto’s Café Menis, Fitzroy Street St Kilda, epitomised the revolution sweeping Melbourne’s food and wine world in the late 80s and 90s.

A visit to Cecconi’s in London prompted Lloyd Williams to establish such a venue at Crown Casino in 1996. Two years later, he approached Olimpia to resurrect the ailing project. The grand venue on the Yarra suited perfectly the creative energy and vision of this family. Cecconi’s at Crown rapidly became known around the world for its food, style and service.

In 2006, the family brought Cecconi’s to Flinders Lane.

As always, Cecconi’s takes great pride in using only the freshest ingredients available, which it sources from local producers, organic wherever possible, including the home-grown fruits, herbs and vegetables from Maria Bortolotto’s farm.

As part of our commitment to all things fresh and environmentally friendly, Cecconi’s has partnered with Closed Loop to achieve a 70 percent recycle rate on all our fresh and dried produce, packaging and glass, putting us at the forefront of restaurant recycling in Australia.
