On the radar
Summer’s the perfect time to find new favourites on the Fleurieu. Story by Jake Dean.

Winter is widely considered hibernation season, but we’d argue summer’s an equally tough time to leave the house. Why get off the couch when the air conditioner’s cranking, the cricket’s on and it’s an earth-scorching forty degrees outside? Finding the motivation to get out and do something new, too can be stifled when your fridge is stocked with Christmas leftovers and your militant new year’s resolution dictates you can only eat a handful of calories a day.

But resist the urge to stay home this summer, we implore you! The Fleurieu’s business boom shows no signs of slowing, and the following selection of food vans, cellar doors, entertainment destinations and more, should be incentive enough to get you out the door.

Caravans Pitstop Italian Food Authentic homemade Italian food made with love ‘like nonna does’ is at the heart of Silvia and Vanni’s food truck. The fully qualified chefs spent years working in restaurants in Tuscany and Victoria before deciding to open their own mobile kitchen in Castlemaine two years ago. Victoria’s loss has been our gain this year, with Pitstop serving up homemade pasta, gnocchi, Italian donuts (bomboloni) and a selection of hot and cold drinks at the beaches surrounding their Aldinga home, as well as private functions. Buon appetito!
