Pescara is a neighbourhood Italian restaurant on McDonalds Road in Pokolbin, run by head chef Kelvin Foster on the grounds of Hermitage Lodge, with vineyard views from the tables. The kitchen serves dinner from 5.30pm on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus lunch on Saturday and Sunday from midday to 3pm. It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
A bar menu of cocktails and small plates runs alongside the main dining room, so you can drop in for a drink and a bite rather than a full sit-down meal. Online bookings take up to twelve guests, and larger groups, functions and weddings are handled by email. Sitting on a lodge estate, it works as an evening option close to the McDonalds Road cellar doors and the accommodation at Hermitage Lodge.
