To start, no other restaurant has offered duck meatballs or grilled calamari like this. The meatballs were sweet from the tomatoes, tender and salty from the duck, and the most flavorful I've ever had. The calamari was beautifully sliced, ensuring the grilling crisps up the maximum surface area, and it was truly fresh from its texture. The potato gnocchi was excellent, featuring a sweet tomato sauce with a rich wagyu flavor. To top it all off, the customer service was what you would expect from a warm, cozy fine dining Italian restaurant. The location and overall ambiance were so cozy, it should be illegal. Shoutout to Adriano, Tiego, and David, I am looking towards my next dining experience.

Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the foccacia. Simple dish but done so well. Along with the olive tapenade, it was a match made in heaven. The mushroom pasta parcels and Gorgonzola shell pasta were amazing. Pork loin was full of flavour and juicy. Only the pistachio cake didn't wow us but it was still alright. Probably should have gone for the tiramisu instead. They offered us some digestifs on the house probably because it was our anniversary dinner. Service was friendly and the staff love to have a yarn with the regulars. Really delicious Italian dishes and I would definitely come back.

The service here is always great! Tiramisu is one of the best we have had and very consistent. This time around when I went with my partner, the pricing on the menu and what we got charged was inconsistent ( don't know if there's is a surcharge for Saturday or something), everything was slightly more when we got charged than in the menu we saw ( not a good look for a family restaurant, so would love an explanation so I can redo the review)- apart from that all good.. Also could have more vegetarian option, while the ravioli is great, when they made up the vego dish, it could have been better.

Food was exceptional! We went for my mother's birthday and pretty much tried all the pastas. The Spaghetti Alla Pescatora is a must as well as the Shelled pasta Gorgonzola (if you like your creamy pasta). It was reasonably priced for the area ($40-$60) and parking was easy to come by (there are multiple 1 or 2 hour parking bays, paid and unpaid) in the area. Highly recommend Gepetto's if youre looking to impress your friends or family.

Pasta was great but the over experience was quite average. The portions are really small for the price, even for main courses. The chicken livers were the most disappointing dish since I had the same thing in other Italian joints and it usually comes with a few slices of bread, salad and way more flavourful. It's truly regrettable considering how great the reviews are and the potential of what the place could be.
