With a rich Italian heritage, it’s no surprise that Francesca Fargnoli is the owner and creator behind Burpengary’s popular Italian café and restaurant, Basil & Vine. Coming from a picturesque part of Italy near Mount Vesuvius where the volcanic soil makes the vegetables and tomatoes rich in flavour, it’s almost as if Francesca was born to serve her very own Italian food creations.

Basil & Vine Italian Restaurant

As an Italian herself, owner Francesca Fargnoli grew up with food as a central way of life, with large family meals customary is her household. Traditionally, Italian dishes are made with simple ingredients that can be made or procured inexpensively such as pasta, bread, cheese, olive oil and tomatoes. Italian cuisine is all about using quality ingredients well and not so much about fancy cooking techniques. Basil & Vine’s goal is to capture that sense of relaxed dining and extended family that Italians do so well– where eating is a family affair that involves talking, socialising and loads of food made with quality, wholesome ingredients.
