Lillino's Bar and Trattoria
About the Business
Welcome to Lillino's Bar and Trattoria, a charming establishment nestled above the picturesque vines of St Clements Estate in Lovedale, Australia. Since its opening on June 25, 2011, Lillino's has been a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike.
Originally known as 'St Clements of Red Hill,' this enchanting spot was acquired by Luigi in 2001, with the first vines being planted in 2002. The inaugural vintage of Semillion, Shiraz, and Merlot was proudly produced in 2005. Today, the estate boasts an impressive range of wines, including Verdelho, Grenache, and Italian varietals such as Pinot Grigio, Nebbiolo, and Barbera. All of these exquisite wines are meticulously crafted from grapes grown right here on our estate.

At Lillino's, we strive to bring the true flavors of Sardinia and Italy to the Hunter Valley region, using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. In our commitment to authenticity, we also import the finest ingredients directly from Italy, including Prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella, parmesan, and our pizza flour from Napoli. Our dedication to quality and tradition shines through in every dish we serve.
Whether you are joining us for a leisurely lunch or a romantic dinner, we guarantee a culinary experience that will transport your taste buds to the heart of Italy. Our menu, which can be viewed on our booking site or by clicking HERE, showcases a delectable array of Italian classics, expertly prepared by our talented chefs.
We take great pride in providing a warm and inviting atmosphere for our guests. The cellar door, opened on December 1, 2010, offers a delightful space to sample our wines, while the restaurant, which followed shortly after, provides an intimate setting to savor the flavors of Italy. We hope that your time at Lillino's will be a memorable one, filled with laughter, good company, and exceptional food and wine.
Please note that Lillino's is open from Thursday to Monday, serving both lunch and dinner. Our lunch hours are from 12 PM to 3 PM, and dinner is served from 6 PM. You can find us at 136 Talga Road, Rothbury, NSW, 2320.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lillino's Bar and Trattoria, where the spirit of Italy meets the beauty of Australia.

Reviews
"As a group of 5 we dined at Lillinos on a Friday evening. The wooden ceiling arrangement is a stand out eye catcher from the main road driving up to the restaurant. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable who also made us feel very welcomed. For entree the baked eggplant was delicious, the squid and charcuterie were ok but nothing to write home about. The prawn linguini was excellent. Now on to the bad, the pizza was just bad, the dough is spongy and yet somehow dense at the same time. Would have expected wood fire cooking."
"A beautiful Italian restaurant in a very picturesque location. Lino and his staff have always presented themselves in a professional and courteous manner. Service has always been exceptional and food has always been a standout. This is our always go to place for top quality and authentic Italian experience. Thank you again Lino and staff for always making us feel welcome."
"Beautiful Italian food and amazing views. Friendly staff. Bastian greeted us when we arrived. He’s so cuddly and friendly. An enjoyable lunch date with hubby. ❤️"
"By far our favourite place to dine while visiting Hunter Valley. The staff were super friendly and always made sure we were relaxed and having a great time, we cannot thank them enough for making us feel just like family. Our favourite dish was easily the linguine, though every dish we tried here was a stand out. Very much looking forward to visiting again! x"
"Lovely cosy restaurant. We enjoyed our meals. Pizza was perfect. Dessert was cooked well. Ravioli was amazing. The saucy had lots of flavour. Great views at sunset. As you can see from the photos the meals are presented well and taste great but are not large pub size portions."
