About Gellafrenda

Penrith gathers under the outdoor trattoria fairy lights at Gellafrenda for shareable Halal Italian comfort food. Tables load up on deep-fried lasagna bites and the towering 100-layer lasagna alongside silky Fettuccine Carbonara tossed with beef bacon. Locals bring their own bottles to match the generous pasta bowls, finishing with slices of sweet and spicy bee sting pizza and pistachio tiramisu.

  • Halal Italian Dining: The kitchen serves certified Halal Italian fare, substituting beef bacon into rich plates of Fettuccine Carbonara.
  • 100-Layer Lasagna & Bites: Starters and mains include fried lasagna bites alongside a signature 100-layer lasagna built for sharing.
  • Trattoria Atmosphere & BYO: The dining area pairs an outdoor fairy-lit setting with misting for summer days, evening blankets, and a BYO policy.

  • Refreshing Mocktails & Flexible BYO Policy

    A dedicated mocktail menu alongside a flexible BYO setup lets guests tailor their drinks without purchasing on-premise alcohol.

    Their mocktails were a refreshing treat, they don't sell alcohol but the BYO option is a nice touch.
