Nino Zoccali

Nino Zoccali's career runs from opening his first restaurant, Caffe Contadino, in Margaret River at the age of 25, to establishing landmark restaurants Otto Ristorante on Woolloomooloo Wharf and Pendolino in the historic Strand Arcade. In 2011 he expanded his Strand Arcade holdings, opening La Rosa Bar and Pizza opposite Pendolino. Nino's Italian heritage is obvious in his cooking and his passion for all things Italian; he has been a member of the Australian Olive Association's National Olive Oil Show Judging Panel and various other judging panels around the country.
