My family and I love this place! Best local Italian restaurant. My parents come from the region in Italy that this restaurant gets its inspiration from, so we attest to the authenticity of the meals that are on offer. The food is fresh and incredibly tasty and the staff are very friendly and accomodating. The decor is also tastefully done. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quality night out.
The best calamari we have ever had, so fresh and cooked to perfection. For mains my husband and I ordered the lamb ragu, absolutely amazing! Of course we couldn't leave without trying the coffee and just like the meal, we were not disappointed. Will be coming back again for sure
The food, the service, the ambience, the welcome, the attention to detail, the customer care, the smiles, the pizzas, the calamari, and finally the location make this restaurant one of the very best in Melbourne. The food is truly delicious
