Must read

Former My Kitchen Rules stars Zana Pali and Gianni Romano’s Brighton house is back on the market.


Former My Kitchen Rules star, beauty queen and developer Zana Pali and husband Gianni Romano have relisted their showstopping Brighton house with a $1m+ price cut.

The six-bedroom pad featuring an 800-bottle wine cellar and basement nightclub-style entertainment space complete with 3D Versace wallpaper and a bar was advertised with a $11m-$12m asking range in January.

It was withdrawn from sale after more than three months and has just re-entered the market for $9.45m-$10.395m, with the upper sum $1.605m less than the previous range’s top end.

Pali and Romano appeared in MKR’s 2016 season as high-flying, Porsche-driving lawyers.

Also a director at the Bayside luxury development company Pali + Co and a model, Pali later took over marketing and social media for the prominent Melbourne 400 Gradi restaurant chain.

It was named the Best Pizzeria in Oceania for three years running, from 2018 to 2020, by the 50 Top Pizza awards run by an international pizzeria guide.

Next year, Pali will represent Australia at the Miss Europe Continental beauty contest – a journey which her 107,000+ Instagram followers will no doubt be watching.

The wine display cellar features imported brown onyx benchtops.


Pali has shared snaps of herself climbing the Brighton home’s curving Venetian plaster staircase and inside a glam open-plan wardrobe – including a photo where she stood in front of a shoe collection numbering more than 40 pairs – on her social media.

Gardens designed by famous landscape architect Jack Merlo and custom-made bronze doors welcome visitors to the abode.

Twenty-six brown onyx slabs were imported and used as a building material in the residence’s fireplace, wine cellar, one of the staircases and 6m-long kitchen benchtop.

Gaggenau appliances and a butler’s pantry also feature in the kitchen.

Upstairs, the main bedroom’s ensuite boasts the open-plan wardrobe with LED-backlit display cabinets, plus a stone bath set beneath a skylight.

Sonos surround sound has been installed across all the house’s levels for a booming surround sound experience no matter what floor you’re on.

Other highlights include an outdoor pool and spa, video intercom, powder room with backlit onyx vanity, zoned heating and cooling, and a basement five-car garage with a three-phase circuit for an EV charger.
