About the restaurant
Tucked away in the charming village of Bangalow, Ciao, Mate! is a neighbourhood favourite that brings together the best of Australian and Italian flavours. Known for its wood-fired pizzas and house-made pasta, the menu leans into local produce from the Northern Rivers region. Highlights include their Wild Venison Salami and Cavolo Nero Pesto pizzas, or the silky Buttermilk Panna Cotta with blueberries. A thoughtful wine list showcasing natural Australian and Italian drops rounds out the offering, making it a go-to for casual dinners and special occasions alike.
