400 Gradi - Mornington

Welcome to 400 Gradi - Mornington, located at 25 Main Street in the beautiful town of Mornington, Australia. As an establishment that specializes in food, meal delivery, meal takeaway, and is a point of interest, we are proud to be a renowned restaurant that offers a truly authentic Italian dining experience.

What sets 400 Gradi apart and makes us the best authentic Italian restaurant? It all starts with our dedication to paying tribute to our Italian heritage. We use traditional ingredients that are inspired by the regions of Italy that have a significant influence on the style and flavor of cooking. When you step into our restaurant, you'll feel like you've been transported to Naples, Italy.

At 400 Gradi, we believe that a unique dining experience goes beyond just the food. Our dishes are cooked with love and passion, and our family-oriented staff is committed to providing exceptional customer service. We want to ensure that every visit to our restaurant is unforgettable.

Our journey to becoming the best authentic Italian restaurant began with Melbourne-based chef Johnny Di Francesco. With a passion for Italian cuisine that started at a young age, Johnny worked in a Pizzeria after school and eventually left his Engineering degree to explore his love for Italian food in Italy. In 2008, he launched 400 Gradi, which has since expanded not only across Melbourne but also in other parts of the world.

One of the reasons why 400 Gradi is considered the best is our adherence to the guidelines of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN) – the world authority on traditional Neapolitan pizza. Johnny was the first Australian to be inducted into the AVPN and is the Principal of Australasia for the Association. This ensures that our pizza is as authentic as it gets.

What truly makes an Italian restaurant the best is the use of authentic, simple flavors with bold, natural ingredients. At 400 Gradi, we believe in the philosophy of "less is more," using traditional Italian herbs and spices in moderation to enhance the flavors of our main ingredients.

When you browse our menu, you'll see that our dishes are made with nothing but traditional ingredients. Start your dining experience with our mouthwatering antipasti, such as our Salumi board filled with cured meats, mixed olives, and arancini. Our Margherita Verace, awarded the world's best pizza, is a must-try with its classic Italian flavors.

We also cater to various dietary requirements, offering gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan, and vegetarian options. Whether you're enjoying our Marinara or Focaccia Pizza or indulging in our Risotto Al Funghi, you can savor the delight of our Italian cuisine without any consequences.

In addition to our extensive antipasti, contorni, pizza, and pasta menu, our Secondi menu offers a range of options, from a pan-seared local snapper to a chargrilled scotch fillet. There's something for everyone at 400 Gradi.

You can book your next dining experience with us or order online for takeaway or pick up. We take pride in being recognized as the best pizzeria in the Oceania region and the second-best Italian restaurant in the world. With our rapid expansion across Melbourne, regional Victoria, Adelaide, P&O Cruise Ships, and now Dallas, Texas, you can experience our world-famous dishes wherever you are.

If you want to recreate our authentic Italian dishes at home, we invite you to explore our online store. From traditional pizza-making masterclasses with Johnny Di Francesco himself to his best-selling cookbooks, you'll have everything you need to impress your guests with your culinary skills.
