Dion Li Rosi started his apprenticeship at Va Tutto Restaurant in Ivanhoe at the tender age of 16ish, after growing up in an environment where food, friends and family were paramount, it seemed natural to take a position in cookery. His love of food and tradition provided the passion needed to work up the ranks in the kitchen and improve his technique and knowledge. With itchy feet, he parted ways with Va Tutto and accepted a role at De Bortoli Wineries to complete his apprenticeship and increase his product knowledge.

The completion of his apprenticeship saw him once again climb the ladder of hierarchy for a further 3 years until the thirst for knowledge had him take a break from cooking to up skill with a nutrition course at ACNT, which provided some of the most sensitive dietary information that is integral within the industry. Being away from the pans was harder than expected, so the next step was to re-enter the industry, but concentrate on different cuisine. Classically Italian trained, Dion took a job at Two Beans and a Farm, where the menu was heavily Spanish/French. Within the walls of this 150 Year old Homestead, a bond was concreted with the manager, Tro Jerijian, who he brought with him to DiCasa Restaurant.

At DiCasa, we are heavily produce and service driven, sourcing the best products from local businesses and processing from scratch to create the best possible European cuisine. Using old school family recipes from the old country while incorporating the world’s best produce, Dion is able to represent his cultural background. We go to great lengths chasing producers and cutting out the middlemen, to reduce food miles as we often buy straight from the source. Whether you are a romantic table of 2 or a group booking of 60, the emphasis is to cater each situation to the needs of your guests. This incorporates all dietary requirements, children meals, disabled access, music, lighting and décor.

Country charm and quality local produce combine to make the Café @ Churchill Island one of the areas’ best kept secrets. Our licensed café offers panoramic views across historic Churchill Island and Westernport Bay. Being surrounded by wildlife and farm animals the atmosphere is hard to beat. Great coffee and a menu complimented by constantly changing specials to suit our seasons, make our Café a ‘must visit’. Churchill Island is reached by road, through a tidal mangrove wetland teeming with birdlife. It is only 2 minutes drive off the Phillip Island Tourist Road at Newhaven.

A friendly, warm and open atmosphere is what Appret Cafe owners Donna and Paul Gratton want customers to experience.
Located in the hub of Laurimar, Paul and Donna will celebrate their one year on the 28th March, 2013. Appret gives the two an outlet to share their passion for hospitality, an industry in which they have much experience.
Paul has been a chef for around 14 years and has travelled overseas to work; while Donna, a playwright, teacher and a keen interest in business, managed a winery at Kangaroo Ground where the two met – Paul was the head chef.

Appret also has a great alcove area with concertina doors that can be opened, suiting large functions or to accommodate the large groups on jazz day (once a month on every second Sunday). Or they keep it closed making it a great area for kids to play safely.
