As most folks may know Foglia di Fico means 'leaf of fig ' in Italian. Since it replace Il Sole, which was very ordinary, FdiF would have to be an under discovered Italian fine dining restaurants in Melbourne. I have been there 7 times in three months, which indicates how good I think it is. Jerry, the owner is the most unlikely Italian restaurant owner,! he is Korean. Takes a great pride in his food, and he makes the sourdough bread, it is really good and crusty. I always eat too much of it, especially as i prefer butter to oil. Luca his trusty assistant makes sure I am well looked after. The dishes are top quality and the prices are reasonable when you considering the effort the chef makes...
We were extremely impressed with the food and service we received last night at Foglia. Our starters were fantastic, with incredibly fresh and rich Angasi oysters and equally amazing Vitello tonnato. The char-grilled veal paired perfectly with the fried capers and tuna mayo. We were especially excited to try the Gnocchi, which turned out to be the best pasta we've ever had with its soft melting texture that was simply out of this world. The rib eye steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection, with incredibly nice and juicy meat. All the sides that came with the steak, especially the truffled mashed potatoes, were perfect. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was spectacular. We can...
An amazing restaurant. Full marks across the board. Very kind and professional staff. Booked for a birthday with a few requests and it was magnificently executed. Cuisine was top-notch with a perfectly executed course for both myself and my partner. I had a classic course while my partner had a vegetarian one and we both savoured the dishes to the last bites (see attached pictures). The wine also went well with the course, adding a silver lining to this excellent gourmet experience. Ambience was also very cosy with a gentle jazz accompanying the warm interior. Prices are very reasonable for the experience offered. It was overall a splendid experience which will lead me to come again for sure...
We had a Beautiful dinner at the restaurant. The service was flawless by a Korean lady and our entree was perfect and well balanced. We actually enjoyed it more than the mains. Our seafood filled squid ink pasta was really tasty and the gnocchi was fresh. A few down sides with plating, especially for squid ink pasta. It was flat and not appealing at all… Also The steak we ordered was juicy, but tasted plain and lacked some flavours. However, Despite a few disappointments, Our experience at the restaurant is very positive. We are impressed with exceptional ingredients fresh pastas were amazing. It is worth a visit. We will come back to try more in the future.

Definitely my number one favourite Italian restaurants in Melbourne. Every time I come back their food and service do not disappoint me ever. I especially love the duck gnocchi w white truffle which I order every single time I visit. Their pasta spaghetti dishes are always full of flavour (I must say some are more average than other dishes offered here tho-the red fettuccine looking dish in second pic which I don’t often get in other Italian restaurants. They always offer more complementary bread to finish off the pasta sauce too which I always take (it’s that good!! . If you’re yet to visit this place YOU MUST TRY!
Foglia di Fico means 'leaf of fig ' in Italian. It is one of the most underrated fine dining restaurants in Melbourne, really reasonable prices considering the effort. The owner takes pride in his food, and personally makes the mouth watering sourdough bread and delicate pasta in house. Ambience is perfect for a romantic night out, with dark furniture juxtaposed with green glassware and plants.
Highly recommended, last night my girlfriend and I were in this restaurant and I can say it was one of the best experiences we have had. The food, craft beers from Italy, kind staffs.. Everything was incredible unforgettable.<br/ We will definitely go back.<br/ <br/ Ps. If oysters are available, you should try a go. The best freshest oysters I've ever had!!!
Perfect service, we were served by waitresses who were really nice and attentive. The service was comparable to the three hat restaurants in Melbourne but at a much more affordable price. Food was also amazing I ordered the scallops, beef tortellini and Semifreddo. Very impressed, I’ll be back.

Talk about being underrated.. Had the pork and beef bolognese and was an absolute winner in all regards, followed by the pork belly just hit the spot! If you want quality food handcrafted by a beastmode chef, get amongst foglia di fico!!!
