Coming down from Darwin for work I was lucky to have amazing friends surprise me by taking me to this fantastic restaurant. My taste buds were tantalised from the beginning with this incredible huge entree of apparently medium garlic cheese bread Three of us couldn't quite polish it off as I didn't want to not eat my main ... I wish I could remember the beautiful Italian name for my main

The food and service at this restaurant were incredible! During our 6-night trip to Melbourne, we dined here 3 times and were absolutely amazed. The carbonara was the best I have ever tasted and the staff were all very attentive and friendly. I can't wait to return to Melbourne just to eat here again! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal!
Frequented this place when I was at univ 38 years ago. My fave was their spaghetti marinara. So sampled again recently, the quality is still the same, ordered a pizza, calamary, wow blast from the past, just as good as far as I can remember.
The service was excellent and the food was fantastic! They were very attentive and made our dining experience smooth, even with 2 young children. The oysters, seafood platter, and Frankie pizza were all amazing. Book a table now
There are plenty of choices for people who are gluten-free, which was fantastic! It's usually hard to find gluten-free options for Italian food, but this place nailed it. I absolutely loved it!
I can't speak highly enough of our experience here. Food was exceptional, service was without fault. We had an amazing night and I highly recommend it to others.
Have been coming here for years and years and it never disappoints. The food is absolutely fabulous with the best focaccia ever! Love it
