The best Italian restaurant in Melbourne! Haven’t tried a better one yet. Simple food done extremely well. Super fresh, vegetarian options, and rotating list of interesting specials. Good wine selection and very helpful staff. Will keep coming back here!

A fabulous authentic Italian restaurant with traditional dishes to satisfy all tastes. The specials are always a great choice and add to the usual choices of an Italian restaurant. The service is efficient and friendly when the serving calms down. I love the location and the decor and is typical Melbourne. Missed the food photos as we were all too quick to start. Definitely worth a visit.A fabulous authentic Italian restaurant with traditional dishes to satisfy all tastes.

This is our first time here. Alana was so friendly and extended a warm welcome. She guided us through each course beautifully. We started with School Prawns and chicken salad. We finished it up with Gnocchi filled with Ricotta cheese accompanied with Clare Valley Shiraz. Everything was so gooood. For me, Gnocchi took the prize. The Dolce menu too looked delicious, I’d have liked the Vanilla bean Pannacotta with fresh berries but we were so full. Finished dinner off with a nice flat white and a short black. The best coffee I’ve tasted. Strongly recommend the Gnocchi We are certainly coming here again to taste the desserts before we leave This is our first time here.

Food was very good, although portion size might be slightly small for the price, but it is Melbourne! What is fantastic, or should I say who is fantastic are the staff. Service was quick, but most importantly friendly and made you feel welcomed. They are a credit to this establishment and would make you want to come back for a repeat visit.Food was very good, although portion size might be slightly small for the price, but it is Melbourne!

The pastas we had here were beautiful. Simple and flavoursome. We ordered the squid ink and linguine and they were perfect. We were also persuaded to order the herb bread which unfortunately was underwhelming. The bread wasn’t warm, crispy or anything special. I think we personally would’ve preferred the garlic bread. It was super busy and quite cramped inside. But the host was personable to those he knew and it was nice to see so many he was interacting with were regulars.The pastas we had here were beautiful.

Good service in this bustling, hectic Italian eatery. Great tasting food and good wine. Our waitress was knowledgeable and calm given the hectic feeling in the place, perhaps due to being short staffed. Second time visiting and it is now a fave.

If you’re not paying attention while you walk – you’ll definitely miss this gem!When we walked in, this place was packed. However, as a patron dining in, you wouldn’t even notice how busy it is given the seamless customer service. A true wonder how they could provide quality service in this situation.The ambience of this place is also very reminiscent of the Italian diners you see in movies or tv series. A cool touch!And finally, what makes this place great is the squid ink pasta. This was the coup de grace that filled me with joy. Almost as if I had tasted pasta for the first time again.Overall – would recommend to anyone looking for great pasta dishes.If you’re not paying attention while you walk – you’ll definitely miss this gem!
