Staff are very friendly and accommodating and we ate here three times during last week...of December, after visiting better known and higher priced restaurants at Docklands Carlton. We took the opportunity to order different meals every time and all were outstanding with a Hawaiian pizza the stand out. The only suggestion I would give the Chef is to tenderise the veal prior to crumbing as it will reduce the toughness of this type of beef. Meals are large and very well priced. Recommend if you are visiting Melbourne and looking for good well priced food over ambience and atmosphere, visit this Cafe.

We were ushered in by a delightful Italian man and promptly seated. Our orders were taken and meal delivered quickly. My daughter and I shared a medium pizza which was very filling and delicious. Staff were very friendly and efficient. So glad we found this place!

The (sad) downside is that the place is not hugely busy and lacks any real ambiance. But if you just want a straight up and down honest to gosh...meal, then don’t bother looking any further.
