Turn the sound up. 🔊
A little rhythm from the Acqua e Sale kitchen.
Chopping, sizzling, simmering and fire, all part of what happens before the plate reaches your table.

MEET MATTIA 🇮🇹 A REBEL LOOK WITH A HEART OF GOLD. ❤️
If you're lucky, you might be greeted by Mattia the moment you walk through our doors.
Covered in tattoos, with a carefree spirit and the cutest dimples, he has a smile that instantly makes you feel at home.
But behind that laid-back exterior is someone incredibly thoughtful and warm-hearted. He loves keeping things organised and planning little surprises for the people he cares about. Nothing makes him happier than seeing others smile.
For Mattia, hospitality runs in the family.
His grandparents once ran a restaurant and bar near Turin, Italy, so he grew up surrounded by good food, lively conversations and the joy of bringing people together.
At just 16, he started working in a pizzeria. Today, he's still learning, growing and quietly chasing a dream: one day, opening a restaurant of his own.
MATTIA'S PICK 🍽️: Seafood Fregula, a little taste of Sardinia he never gets tired of recommending.
Next time you're here, say hello to Mattia. You'll know him by those dimples and that unforgettable smile. ❤️

Risotto Asparagi Mandorle e Mascarpone
When asparagus is in season, we make room for it at the table.
Fresh local asparagus is at the heart of our Risotto Asparagi, Mandorle e Mascarpone. Creamy carnaroli rice, mascarpone and Parmigiano Reggiano give it a soft richness, with toasted almond flakes for a delicate crunch.
A plate of spring greens with all the comfort of a proper Italian risotto. Settle in and enjoy the season, one spoonful at a time.

Weekly special bucatini
A little richness from Tasmania, a little sweetness from Shark Bay.

Orecchiette Rigate 🌿
A little green garden in a bowl.
Our house made orecchiette is tucked through macadamia pesto, with broccolini, smoked pancetta and a soft Montasio cheese spuma bringing different textures into every bite.
Fresh, savoury, creamy, with just enough crunch here and there.
It looks bright and lively on the table, and tastes every bit as interesting as it looks.

Paolo, someone who loves precision just as much as adventure.
Originally from Italy, has been working in hospitality for almost ten years. From Europe to Australia, he has worked in kitchens across different countries, yet he is still just as curious about new ingredients, new techniques and the next challenge.
In the kitchen, Paolo is all about the details. Timing, technique and rhythm all matter. Outside the kitchen, he looks for a different kind of energy. Boxing, Muay Thai, surfing, fishing and exploring new places are how he recharges.
Staying active and constantly challenging himself is simply how he likes to live.
At Acqua e Sale, Paolo’s favourite dish is Fregola.
It may look simple, but behind it is a lot of patience and careful preparation. From the fregola itself to every ingredient on the plate, it takes time, technique and attention.
That is exactly why Paolo loves it.
Good ingredients, solid technique and enough patience can turn something simple into something truly special.
