Here’s the newest family and pet friendly restaurant to grace the Mornington Peninsula! Bottega 188 in Mt Eliza has recently opened and has already warmed the hearts of locals; stepping through the doors feels like a big warm hug for all the senses!

The aroma of fresh wood-fired pizzas, the ambiance of lush greenery and fairy lights, the sounds of the little canaries singing in their aviary, the weightlessness of swinging in an egg chair, the taste of Palettos AMAZING gelato and even the feel of fluffy donkey fur as you greet resident donkey Elsa - covers all the bases!

This great new restaurant is part pizzeria, part deli, part cafe, part gelateria and even part food truck! So you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner here. There are things like little ride on cars, a play mud kitchen and egg chairs to entertain the kids, they also have their own kids menus. It is super pet friendly, so much so in fact that pups have their own menu too! Including puppy cookies - which are made by Barking Mad - a business created by the owners 12 year old son!

You’ll love this place, it really is the perfect family friendly spot, so make sure you add it your list!
