From the Kitchen

Something for everyone at the table.
Whatever you're in the mood for.

Koast keeps the Italian roots people already know, but the menu goes much further: oven pastas, seafood, grills, burgers, salads and dishes that make it easy for everyone around the table to choose what they actually want.

A menu with Italian roots.
And a South Coast point of view.

Koast keeps what people already love about the restaurant — wood-fired food, generous flavour and a table made for sharing — without limiting the menu to one style of eating.

Some days call for pizza and pasta. Others call for prawns, ribs, fish, a burger or something straight from the fire. At Koast, the table gets to choose.

The Koast Feeling

Lunch can be part of the outing.
Or the reason for the drive.

Koast sits within the wider Umdoni Point Sports & Leisure setting, so it fits naturally into a day built around the coast, sport, family time and switching off a little.

The Rebrand

The Italian Club is becoming Koast.

Already know The Italian Club? You're in the right place.

The Pennington restaurant people already know at Umdoni Point Sports & Leisure is moving into a new identity that better reflects what is already on the table.

The Italian roots remain in the pizza, pasta, gnocchi and oven-baked favourites. Koast simply gives the restaurant room to be more than that — bringing seafood, grills, familiar favourites and the relaxed South Coast setting into the same story.

And the setting.
