The food was absolutely amazing and incredibly unique. Watching the chef cook your meal inside the cheese wheel is like Italian Teppanyaki.
The owners were extremely friendly as well.
Definitely going back to try more dishes, tomorrow if I can.

I took my boys to this delightful Italian restaurant on Tuesday night as a special birthday treat. The atmosphere in the restaurant with the colorful Italian decor and all the little fairy lights is magical. I shared a Deep Pan Margherita Pizza with one of my sons and the other one ordered a Parmesan Cheese Wheel Pasta. They were entranced watching Frederico Godi cooking the pasta in the flames of the cheese wheel. The meals were delicious and all the staff looked after us really well. Walking home my boys said it was the best restaurant they had ever been to in Adelaide. The next day my youngest son said he had gone to sleep straight away when we got home and that when he woke up it felt like it had been an amazing dream! Thank you so much for a lovely evening Laurie and Frederico!
Food was very good- and the cheese wheels are such an exciting novelty, staff could be a little blunt at times but it was very busy so I understand!
What a great dining experience. Absolutely love the decor and feel of this place and the relaxing atmosphere. The service is exceptional.
I ordered from the cheese wheel menu. The flavours were amazing. Being my first time having pasta cooked in a cheese wheel, I was expecting the pasta to be very rich and overloaded with cheese but it was not over the top at all. The serving size was perfect too.
My husband ordered the scotch fillet steak. Cooked to perfection & full of flavour.
We will definitely be back!
Fantastic! Bustling place..very busy but wait staff were attentive and lovely. The food is delicious! My daughter had the pecorino pasta cooked in the cheese wheel and mmmmmmmm so good! I had the chicken schnitzel with raclette (because cheese makes everything better!) and for dessert the warm chocolate pudding. Generous serves, very tasty food..will definitely be back!
Went with the family (wife and 2 young men) and had a very relaxed and enjoyable evening. started with the Flatbread and deep fried vegetables. Both were flavoursome and good starters. For mains I had a Pappadelle Ragu whilst my wife had the cheese wheel Spagetti with Amatriciana sauce and sons had the Gnocchi Ragu and the Chicken Schnitzel. All enjoyed their meals but the standout was the Ragu sauce (with both the Gnocchi and Pappadelle). The Cheese Wheel pasta was OK but more of a gimic than providing a fundamental diference in flavour. Staff were friendly and service was good. Only issue is that it was a little pricey but the food was good so its easy to live with paying a little more than usual.

We visited Godi La Vita for the famed cheese wheel pasta. My husband ordered the mushroom/parmesan one with added sausage and I had the pear/walnut/pecorino one. My husband really enjoyed his, said it was flavoursome and enjoyable. Mine, I found to be tasty but quite sweet, which was a bit much for me and I didn't quite finish my dish. However, the serving of cheese that comes from the cheese wheel is generous, so that aspect did not disappoint.
What was disappointing about our night was what I would consider to be average service. The staff were friendly and we were greeted well and had nice interactions with them, however, as we were seated at the window bar at the front of the restaurant, we felt a bit forgotten. We ordered drinks first then mains, and while waiting for mains we were getting close to finishing our drinks and I was ready to order another to have with my meal, but no staff approached us to ask about a second order of drinks. Similarly, we were not offered or given any table water until after our mains had been finished and cleared. When our mains were ready to be tossed in the cheesewheel, a staff member approached us and invited us to watch (which was not hugely interesting). However, when the main was served, we were not offered cracked pepper, which doesn't sound like a huge deal, but other tables were offered it, so that, plus the lack of table water and the offer of additional drinks felt like we weren't as important as the other tables. We also found it hard to flag down a staff member for assistance, so felt a bit like they were more concerned about the novelty of the cheesewheel (i.e. getting us to view it in action) rather than regular service.
Overall, I'd visit again, as the other dishes on the menu looked really good, e.g. the ravioli, however I would ask for a different table and hope to receive a bit better service.
What can I say. Everything about the food was incredible, apart from the ravioli which had too much cheese. I had the gnocchi and I have to say every mouthfull was as good as the next and last. The aranchini balls as the entree was the perfect addition. Would love to go again
Gnocchi with ragu and raclette scrape was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Gnocchi was extremely light and fluffy and so fresh it was amazing.
What an experience. We went here earlier in the week and wow what great pastas .... We didn't try the cheese wheel experience this time but shared the wild boar papardelle and mushroom/truffle pasta and boy were they delicious. The coffee Pana cotta was average but I'll definitely be back to try more pastas especially the cheese wheel ones ..
Food was absolutely amazing here! Came for a special occasion and was not disappointed. The cheese wheel pasta is fantastic and had a great taste. Very filling food however, make sure you come on an empty stomach! Expensive, but you’re definitely paying for great tasting food that is worth it. Would love to visit again in the future
We made a last minute booking and they managed to squeeze us in even though they were busy. The food was amazing. The garlic bread was cheesy and delicious. I had the salmon and when they open up the parchment paper at the table this aroma of seasoning was just amazing. All the rest of the food was also delicious. Their signiture cocktail is one of the best I have had, a must try.
A great spot for a nice dinner. We were there on a busy Friday night with no booking and they made room for 4 of us which was awesome. The food was delicious and you could see the chef making the cheese wheels pasta! There was full table service throughout. Thank you, we'll be back!
We were lucky enough to get a table without a booking. We had the parmesan cheese wheel pasta, which was their specialty, and a deep dish pizza. The pasta was absolutely delicious and so fragrant that we could smell it from several tables away. It was also surprisingly filling, given the seemingly small portion. The deep dish pizza was very rich and filled with mozzarella, so pics of the cheese pull were a must. The theatrics of the chef lighting the cheese wheel on fire and mixing the pasta in it certainly added to the experience. For me, the highlight was the friendly service from the only floor staff working that evening. It was a packed Tuesday, with big groups of diners but I could see her looking after everyone with the same amount of care, attention and grace. For my money, it was a very pleasant experience.
Absolutely loved everything about this place. The ambience, the service and ofcourse the food. My friends and I ordered a few starters, the famous cheese wheel pasta, deep dish pizza and 2 desserts and everything was on point! So much flavour. The highlight was definitely the cheese wheel pasta! The best food I've had in a long time. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would!
Delicious food! We've come before and had the same experience but tried some different dishes last night and we're not disappointed we came back. The original deep-dish pizza I had was quite an experience, more like a pizza-pie than a pizza, great for those that love cheese! The thin crust pizza I had this time was fantastic, the base was soft and tasty like a focaccia and made the toppings sing. Will be back again!
Went here last Saturday night after a person at work recommended it. The food was amazing, the staff where friendly, the price was very reasonable as well. I have honestly told everyone I know to visit this place and I will continue to do so. Will 100% be going back.
A wonderful dining experience! The food was delicious and customer service brilliant. Highly recommend - the Parmesan cheese wheel was to die for!!
