Claygate Averna

“The food, service atmosphere and attention to detail is second to none!”

Had a really nice experience at this Italian restaurant. I ordered the lobster linguine and it was absolutely delicious — full of flavour, fresh and cooked perfectly. The portion size was good and you could tell the ingredients were quality. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were welcoming and attentive, and the service was smooth from start to finish. Overall a very enjoyable meal and definitely a place I would return to again.

After being a loyal customer for over two years, we use this resturant at least once a month, the food is excellent, however the manager was extremely rude and abrupt to my wife when she asked politely if it was possible to turn down the air conditioning. He said it could not be turned down, just be turned off. I was very upset and disappointed that as loyal customers to be treated this way. The Manager needs some lessons in good customer service.

After a long, rewarding hike at Box Hill, we were seriously craving some comforting carbs—something warm, local, and Italian. Averna in Claygate hit the spot. It’s cosy, welcoming, and serves food full of heart and flavour. Starter: Garlic Bread Packed with garlic flavour and beautifully crispy. If you have any leftovers (unlikely, but possible), save them. It makes a perfect dipper for the leftover lemon beurre blanc from the sea bass or even the oil from the carbonara. Game-changer. Grilled Octopus Hard to describe… in a good way. It’s surprisingly balanced, featuring beans, olives, tomato
