So they are no longer open even though not closing apparently to the end of the month! Still taking bookings online including mine . Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Attended the Ode to Autumn event as a part of this year 's Melbourne Food and Wine festival... Wish that I had read other reviews prior to booking. The wine was good and the food was okay. Unfortunately, the portions, the creativity and the service at this price point are absolutely unforgivable. $370 for two people and we both walked out hungry.... the Main was a glorified spring roll slightly larger than cocktail size . Not only were we told a different narrative about the wine compared to the diners next to us, it seemed we were also missing foccacia ? , the oysters weren 't properly shucked, and the dessert parfait was half frozen. Additionally, nothing was explained about how or why these courses related to the theme. Looking around at other tables, we were confused thinking that we had been served an entree but it was truly an ode to disappointment instead. Right now, dining and going out is a bit of a luxury. If you decided to be featured as a part of a food and wine festival , please actually show why you deserve to be there. We have high standards for food and honestly, you would have better luck at your local pub. Writing this while waiting for my $29 large takeaway pizza which will actually satisfy us for the night.

After reading great reviews, yes, we crossed the river to visit Pinotta, and so glad we did! The restaurant has a welcoming, friendly, unpretentious vibe and we were fortunate to have the owner, Heidi looking after us. The food was fabulous, thank you chefs, and I only wish is the place had been around when I lived in North Fitzroy quite some years ago!
Fantastic food, warm and friendly people. The spaghetti with squid ink was amazing and great suggestions for wine. We were there on a Saturday night and will definitely be back.<br/ Great atmosphere and didn’t feel too rushed and busy.<br/
