San Remo - Melbourne

Eating is good and inexpensive, can not beat lunch especially and the Stromboli slaps. The staff was very nice and personal. Also the creamy Italian dressing is from this world, I look forward to the salad bar reopening.

This is not your charming, cozy Italian trattoria. Dated, oversized diner is a better description of the ambiance. If you can overlook this, which we did, you will enjoy authentic, delicious Italian cuisine. The lunch menu is loaded with great values. Practically every pasta dish imaginable is $8.95, which includes 2 sides (one of which is a salad bar) and garlic bread. The meatballs, sauce, and authentic creamy Italian dressing were real standouts and the service was first-rate! You may want to steer clear of the house wine-by-the glass for $9. The prices for wine are not listed on the menu, but certainly show up on your check. A bit deceiving. Next time, we will enjoy our wonderful meal with ice-water with lemon.

This restaurant offers great service, delicious food at reasonable prices, and a comfortable atmosphere. The homemade lasagna was particularly impressive and tasted very fresh. The chicken and broccoli Alfredo was enjoyable as well, featuring a lighter Alfredo sauce. Each meal also included a visit to the salad bar and a basket of garlic bread, which was decent, though not quite on par with the garlic bread your mom makes. Overall, I would say this is a solid Italian restaurant and a great spot for gathering with friends and family. However, if you're a food aficionado, prefer a more upscale experience, or are looking for a romantic ambiance, I would suggest Dove III Downtown instead.

We had Jessica as our server tonight, and she was truly fantastic! Not only did she have a wonderful personality, but she was also incredibly attentive and quick. Even though she was busy with other tables, she took the time to interact with my 3-year-old for a few minutes, which made her incredibly happy. On top of that, the food was excellent! The eggplant parmesan was likely the best I've had in a restaurant! We will definitely recommend this place again, especially if you're looking for great family-friendly Italian cuisine!

The servers were very friendly and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, two of the soups on the menu weren't available, and both were the ones I chose. However, we were provided with an alternative at no extra charge, which we really appreciated. The food was quite salty, but I'm not sure if that was just this time. I'll definitely return.
