The food is best described as traditional Italian. Beppi Polese has been responsible for the coaxing of the Australian palate out of its Anglo-saxon shell and introducing it to the flavours of his native Italy.
Four generations of Sydney-siders have passed through the doors of Beppi's to this day in the same location as the first day it opened.
Many Sydney-siders ate for the first time such modern mainstays of today's restaurants as mussels, octopus and artichoke at Beppi's (the mussels he harvested himself in a small boat scraping them off the pylons of the old wooden spit bridge, as he was unable to buy them).
