Last night for dinner. on a small table. bad lighting, very loud room. difficult accused waiters, which we could not hear, describe the specialties, art of pushy. I had a seafood pasta.. gum-like seafood and pasta, which was unusable. $49.90) My...partner had a scotch filling, that was ok, nothing special $101.00) like her a sweat! small side of broccolini $15) side kartoffelei $17). total a demolition . total bill 242,90$. we had a gourmet travel gift voucher for $100. I write this because the whole review is great and I don't see how it could be so bad and get good reviews .terrible restaurant.

We had the most lovely evening dinner here. Intimate and full of character. You could have been in Italy once sat down. Amazing wine (albeit it an expensive wine list) the waiter recommended a beautiful wine that suited me perfectly. Food was delicious. Could not...fault it an anyway. We abs the scallops and octopus for starters and steak and blue eye cod special. Salad was simple but mouth watering. Will definitely recommend and return for another meal when back in Melbourne.

This little Italian cuisine gem was perfect for date night or a catch up with friends. They really pride themselves on excellent service and quality dishes, with a dark decor to sent the tone. We enjoyed our time with the team at Caffe e Cucina. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner
