Sydney’s North Shore is set to welcome a new era in dining and leisure with the launch of Newgreens Chatswood – a groundbreaking destination that blends modern Italian-inspired cuisine, golf, wellness and community.
Opening its doors on 1 October 2025, Newgreens Chatswood is a precinct that houses all types of moments. From its refined Italian restaurant Dodici, health and wellness facility, corporate and function spaces and casual café and bistro named Tempo, there is something for everyone.
An Italian restaurant inspired by long dinners, timeless flavours and the art of sharing, Dodici serves seasonal, produce-driven dishes in a warm and modern setting — from handmade pastas to wood-fired mains and an expertly curated drinks list.
Perched on the top floor of the clubhouse, Dodici offers sweeping views over the valley from its elegant dining room and expansive alfresco terrace. Under the guidance of head chef Fabio Durpetti (Unico Ristorante) the menu is a journey through the heart of Italy, reimagined with elegance and soul.
Originally from Italy’s Marche region, Durpetti blends authentic regional traditions with creative flair. His signature dishes include the whimsical Tiramisushi – a playful twist on tiramisu – and pappardelle al ragu di cervo, featuring blueberry pasta with slow-cooked venison ragù.
Other house-made pastas such as plin in brodo d’anatra (egg plin stuffed with braised beef, pork and rabbit in a rich duck and herb consommé) and seafood delights like spaghetti al nero with king prawns and lobster bisque, showcase his mastery of both flavour and technique.
Larger plates celebrate Italian conviviality, from the rotolo di salsiccia al forno – woodfired Italian sausage ordered by the metre – to the impressive fiorentina da 1kg dry-aged T-bone steak.
Dodici’s wine and beverage list embodies the venue’s commitment to sophistication and sustainability, with more than 70% of the list from wineries practicing organic or sustainable viticulture. The list is designed to take guests on a journey from Sicily to the Alps, featuring a balance of iconic producers and hidden gems found almost exclusively at Dodici.
Chef Fabio Durepetti says: “At Dodici, we want every plate to tell a story — of where the ingredients come from, of the Italian traditions that inspire us, and of the joy that comes from sharing food with the people you love. My hope is that guests leave with full hearts as well as full stomachs.”
On the ground floor, Tempo brings a lively, approachable vibe to Newgreens’ dining. Mornings start with vibrant breakfasts such as the Brazilian açaí bowl, Belgian waffles with Nutella and hazelnut, or indulgent big breakfasts with all the trimmings.
From late morning, the menu shifts to bistro classics and fresh, flavour-packed plates. Think salt & pepper calamari, hearty burgers and paninis. For something sweet, diners have plenty of choice with treats like sticky date pudding or seasonal vegan sorbets.
Both venues are located within Newgreens’ architecturally designed clubhouse by Marchese Partners, with plush, welcoming interiors by award-winning designer Nic Graham (QT Hotels, W Hotels). The result is a hospitality experience that balances contemporary luxury with laid-back charm.
Just five minutes from the Chatswood CBD, Newgreens is nestled in a protected green valley overlooking the Lane Cove River — a setting that enhances its unique mix of lifestyle, dining and wellness offerings.
Later this year, Newgreens will open Australia’s first purpose-built 12-hole golf course. Designed to suit modern schedules, the premium layout offers faster, flexible play with a mix of Par 5s, 4s and 3s. The course will open with limited memberships available, as well as public bookings. Additional highlights include expansive practice facilities and a curated golf retail shop.
With an emphasis on quality time, great food and thoughtfully designed experiences, Newgreens Chatswood is shaping up to be the North Shore’s most exciting new hospitality and lifestyle destination.
