Contribute Feedback What Thom Stackhouse likes about Carlton Espresso:
10/10. Booked for lunch on the advice of a friend while visiting Melbourne, but it felt like I was in Italy. The bread was really soft, the pasta was al dente and flavorsome, my coffee afterwards was perfect and the service was friendly and extra italian. Stopped by the Delicatessen next door and grabbed a bottle of wine for our travels, the deli really is a must see.
What SabrinaA doesn't like about Carlton Espresso:
We have been going to doc for over 18 years and for us it’s like family and the good and service was always amazing . Service was terrible was greeted with rudeness , bad service , menu completely changed and the food we usually order was edible but not up to the doc standard ! As much as it pains me will not be returning, especially now I know the reason new owners who have taken all of the essence and good stuff fr... View all feedback.
The service was arrogant, dismissive and rude. 35 mins after ordering I asked if the food was still coming and I was rudely and curtly dismissed and told it’s coming. Turned out they hadn’t even begun cooking it and forgotten the order, so we waited another 20 min. The meal itself was nothing special and quite boring and bland, I ate it in 5 min. My date did not finish theirs because they felt something was off about the food. Completely overrated.
11/10! Thanks DOC for your warm hospitality, your great gnocchi and your amazing bar list. I'll be back.
This place is better for lunch. One of the pastas at our recent dinner was claggy … the others just OK. Wine was good. Service very friendly. Music too loud.
Fantastic food and service! Always love coming back for a comfort meal.
Great location in Carlton serving excellent pasta dishes
