Behind the success of La Contadina.
The best claimed Italian Authentic Cuisine in Victoria.. After the success of the mixed food experience back in Italy the Mico family arrived in Australia in 1967.Iit was love at first sight with Australia and with a short visit to the markets also the vast availability of the fresh food. Our family immediately engaged themselves working in a restaurant in Carlton. From that time on the Mico family owned and managed five different restaurants, worked with the best chefs of this country and gained a huge respect and reputation within the industry also from diners and food critics.

Giovanni since 1975 took over the family affairs and carried on the family tradition. Not only he has been a restaurateur but he is also a singer an actor and film director as well as an entertainer at La Contadina. He has taught at tafe collages and trained many apprentices to become successful restaurateurs. I suppose we could fill in many other pages about our success, but this will give you a brief idea about us.
