About

Ovello Bar & Kitchen brings the casual elegance of the Amalfi Coast to Grey Street, South Bank. Inspired by sun-soaked Mediterranean holidays, lush gardens and colourful parasols, we pair Australia's largest spritz list with authentic stone-baked pizza built on a 38-year-old sourdough starter, plus humble Italian share plates made for lingering. Come for breakfast, settle in for a long lunch, or unwind at Apero happy hour from 4pm. Midweek favourites include $25 Pasta e Vino on Tuesdays, Serata di Pizza on Wednesdays and free kids meals on Fridays. Find us across from Southbank Parklands, moments from QPAC and the markets. Book your table today and let South Bank rediscover its colour.
