Hospitality roots
The loyal customers of Chianti can vouch for the incredibly warm and personal service that the restaurant’s founders, Maria and Frank Favaro, are famous for. Their two children, Nick Favaro and Jess Favaro-Richards, are now following suit!
With a wealth of knowledge behind them and a deep passion for the industry, Nick and Jess have now opened two new venues within the recently built $7.2 million development at Carrick Hill. Rozelle’s, a casual bistro, and The Pavilion function space are the new babies in the Favaro family, and boy are they something else!

Rozelle’s
This casual bistro is surrounded by the stunning gardens of Carrick Hill. “Anticipate a menu driven by our family’s love of food, flavours, sharing and creating good times. The menu is everything we love about relaxed Italian food and dining,” says Jess.
A state-of-the-art pizza oven serves up wood oven pizzas and a mouthwatering selection of scrumptious bites leaves every palate catered for. The menu’s been a project of passion for the group’s Executive Chef, Josh Cooke, who trained under British chef Rick Stein and worked alongside the late Jock Zonfrillo as Head Chef at the Adelaide institution, Orana.

The Pavilion
Close to the city and surrounded by immaculate, fairytale-esque gardens, The Pavilion boasts views all the way to the ocean.
This is not your average function space — we were so blown away by it that we hosted our 2024 International Women’s Day event here! It’s the Favaro family’s mission to give your event the same attention to detail and warmth of hospitality that Chianti is so well known for… but bigger!
This extremely transformative space holds up to 180 guests and provides the perfect backdrop for corporate events, weddings or any celebration. With panoramic floor-to- ceiling windows spanning the entire length of the venue, the outlook over Carrick Hill and beyond will leave you utterly breathless.
Jess says her team is well prepared to run the impressive new function space given their experience running events at Chianti in their upstairs private dining rooms. “Catering for corporate groups is a big part of what we do at Chianti, so it’s great to be able to bring some of that up here on a larger scale.”
