Multi-award-winning pizza chef Johnny Di Francesco is certainly no stranger to awards, and he’s just won another after his 400 Gradi restaurant was crowned with two pizza slices by the Gambero Rosso Guides last month. The accolade came at the May 18 Gambero Rosso International awards, considered one of the highest acknowledgements of exceptional Italian culinary experiences, and it honoured the authenticity of 400 Gradi’s pizza-making techniques, the quality of ingredients and the skill of the pizza chef.
Pizza (World Pizza Championship) when the 400 Gradi founder and head chef was named the highest-ranking Australian chef in the Pizza Napoletana STG category as well as being admitted to the championship’s Hall of Fame. It was the first time in nine years that he had taken part in the championship, and he was pitted against 700 chefs from 50 countries.
400 Gradi restaurants are dotted across Victoria – including Mornington – as well as Adelaide and the US and on board P&O cruise ships, with the brand committed to sharing a truly authentic Italian dining experience, complete with quality ingredients, heartfelt cuisine and a warm atmosphere.
Meanwhile, 400 Gradi Mornington recently introduced a daily breakfast menu that’s available from 7.30-11.30am and includes a 154 cheese jaffle, lobster eggs benedict, and tiramisu waffles. The restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner Monday to Thursday from noon-9.30pm, and Friday to Sunday from noon-11pm.
