MENSA - Eugenio Maiale: Monday 27 April 2026

In 2020, Mensa opened its doors and quickly became a beloved destination for modern Italian dining on The Parade. What began as a fresh, contemporary take on traditional flavours has grown into a vibrant, community-focused restaurant known for its warm hospitality and beautifully crafted dishes. Today, Mensa thrives as a proudly family-run space, where passion for food and genuine care for guests shape every service.

With a kitchen led by the talented chef, Eugenio Maiale, who honours classic Italian techniques while adding their own creative flair, every meal celebrates heritage, seasonality, and pure flavour.

Partnering with Outdoors on Parade, the BEST cooking school in Adelaide, Mensa is bringing its love of food straight to the people. This class captures the heart of Italian cooking: fresh ingredients, and the pure joy of sharing good food. Step inside and you’ll feel right at home—Mensa isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an Adelaide staple in the making.
