Anna's STORY
Our
STORY
The start of the “original” hospitality in Stanthopre, Stanami, as it was known, was built in 1917 by Stan & Amy Pierpoint. Stanami was one of only a hand full of places in town with water access. The well in the back yard is still used to maintain the restaurant’s gardens. The Pompetti family immigrated to Australian in 1968 from Teramo, Italy. Basilio & Domenica worked on local farms in the area for many years. Long hour days then working in a hotel at night to make ends meet.
Since 1917
ESTABLISHED 1981
Anna Pompetti, the founder, established the restaurant with the backing of her family when she was in year 11 at a tender age of 16. Anna now lives in Italy married with 3 children.
Anna’s restaurant was established in 1981. In 1985 we moved to its current location, transforming the family home into a restaurant.
