ABOUT US

Italicious is a family-owned Italian kitchen rooted in heritage and driven by passion.

Born from the Fortunato family’s four generations of meat craftsmanship, we create food with memory  dishes that carry the knowledge of time and the flavours of this land.

From handmade pasta to home-cured salumi, everything we serve is a tribute to real Italian tradition, made right here in Far North Queensland.

​

OUR STORY 

Italicious was founded by Ignazio Fortunato and Erica Randisi, uniting a century-old family tradition with the bounty of a new land.

After years spent preserving and honouring Italian regional recipes, they brought their knowledge to Trinity Beach  to offer something honest, local, and truly Italian.

Today, Italicious is where heritage meets terroir, and every bite tells their story.

​

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Italicious, food is more than flavour  it’s a heritage.

Every dish we serve is rooted in tradition and built on respect: for the land, the animal, and the craft.

We work with local ingredients from Far North Queensland, including pork from the Tablelands, and transform them using techniques passed down in the Fortunato family for four generations.

Here, quality means doing things the right way  by hand, from scratch, and with soul.

​

WHAT WE OFFER

Cured Meats – Salumi crafted in-house using only local pork and Fortunato family know-how.

​

OUR TEAM

Behind every dish is the work of passionate Italian chefs who bring soul, skill and tradition to every preparation.

Together, they share one goal: to offer you an experience that feels like coming home to Italy.

​

OUR COMMITMENT

We are dedicated to sustainability and transparency.

We choose local ingredients whenever possible, respect the seasons, and craft with traceability at every stage  because real food starts with real values.
