Regular visitor to Melbourne and was looking for a good cheap Italian style restaurant. Took a gamble and came up trumps. From the moment we walked in there was a welcoming atmosphere. Staff were superb and very accommodating. Ordered the garlic bread which was cooked to perfection and ready in minutes. We then ordered a few pizzas and pastas. The pasta was clearly homemade and authentic and was absolutely delicious. The pizzas were light and didn't sit in your gut afterwards, what you'd expect of a well prepared base. The toppings were extremely generous and fresh. The only negative through want of a better word was the pasta servings were huge. If your a big eater then you'll be more than...
Lured by the eatery's name thought could be in for a real treat, and whilst not disappointing it didn't live up to what I thought it would be. Certainly many patrons, and as had not made a booking had to settle for an outside table...where the friendly staff took our orders. There were some indoor booth seating which many patrons may find a comfortable way in which to enjoy a family dinner. Pizza was generously topped on a delicious thin nicely cooked base, parma's chicken could do with a little more kick in the sauce and lasagna served up lukewarm. The dessert menu or the stone grill, although not tried on this visit, could be enticing for some patrons. On street parking and tram line too m...
After taking my first bite, I found the pizza to be bland (salt had to be added) and only slightly improved with the addition of tabasco sauce. The seafood on the pizza seemed to be from a frozen source and nothing tasted fresh. I couldn't even eat the mussels. The pastry tasted like stale bread from the day before. For a $24 pizza, I expected much better quality. It seems like this restaurant is catering to a market that hasn't experienced authentic pizza before. In the end, I had to throw most of the pizza in the trash.
Old school pizza in Coburg for pasta tonight, best to stick to their desserts though. Pasta was Spaghetti Pollo Fungi; the pasta was cut into pieces and not possible to twirl around my fork which made it awkward to eat, sauce was too runny and...not enough seasoning, mushrooms were barely cooked hence did not get the best flavor out of them, the chicken was dry and way to big and thick to eat with the pasta

The restaurant was amazing with a great atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty, and the service from the polite staff was incredible. The pizzas are delicious with fresh, juicy, and tasty ingredients. The pollo fettuccine was so good, with perfect flavors in the sauce and pasta. The portions were generous and I highly recommend it. The almond espresso dessert and volcano pizza were both a perfect 10/10.
This restaurant is a great throwback to old-school dining and definitely worth a visit. You have to try the massive jawbreaker-sized pizzas, they are worth the extra cost. The only downside was that our garlic bread never arrived, but when we brought it up while paying, they were understanding and removed it from the bill.
One of the best pizzas I have had in Melbourne. A big surprise coming from a local suburban shop rather than an inner city over priced location. If you are around Brunswick and feed like a quality pizza, Old School is a winner!
A fun place to meet up with friends or family. Pizza looked amazing but I ordered the burger. The burger was great but next time I'm getting the pizza.
