What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners frequently praise Gepetto's Hahndorf for its authentic Italian cuisine, warm atmosphere, and exceptionally friendly staff. Many highlight the delicious food, particularly the handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas, as well as the enjoyable live music.

"Geppetto’s in Hahndorf is a true treasure! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm, rustic charm of a traditional Italian trattoria, and it only gets better from there. The homemade gnocchi was a standout—light, pillowy, and served with a rich, flavorful sauce that tasted like it came straight from Nonna’s kitchen.
What truly makes Geppetto’s special are the owners. Their passion, warmth, and personal touch are felt in every corner of the restaurant—from the food to the service to the welcoming atmosphere. You can tell this place is run with heart.
It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience. If you’re visiting the Adelaide Hills, do yourself a favour and make a stop here. It’s Italian comfort food at its finest, served by people who love what they do."

"For the quality of food like the taste and appearance, I would probably rate it 4 stars. However, the portion size of spaghetti and Risotto were a bit smaller than my expectation and experience of various Italian restaurants in Australia. So perhaps it's just a 3 stars experience.
Luckily, the ambience was quite nice, with live music and cozy decoration and atmosphere which was an amazing experience, so I would rather give an overall rating of 4 stars even I was not satisfied with the food portion size.
I did raise this issue to the staff when I checked out and the guy politely replied that they weights each portion before cooking, something like 180g / 200g maybe.
So I could not blame him except maybe trying my best to find some other places in this little Adelaide city with reasonable portion size but still offering yummy food."

"I recently enjoyed lunch here with my family and was thoroughly impressed. The venue is beautifully presented, with a welcoming atmosphere. Staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, and the food was of excellent quality. The only minor drawback was the challenge of finding parking during peak hours. Overall, a wonderful experience and highly recommended."
