The waitress who served us was wonderful. Kudos to the chef, and I hope this restaurant receives more business so I can come back every year!

However, the new Cinquecento is a vast improvement! They serve generous portions of delicious Italian food at fair prices, far surpassing the typical clichés found at many so-called authentic Italian eateries. Everything at Cinquecento is freshly made and truly enjoyable. They have a full liquor license and allow customers to bring their own wine without any additional fees. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning.

I was curious and I decided to try it. It was an excellent idea: a real Italian restaurants, with superb food, reasonable prices, good and cordial service and, even if fully licensed, offering FREE BYO! Not only I will definitely go back but I highly recommend this place to all Zomato members and my personal friends. The servings are abundant and well presented. WELL DONE and my best wishes for a prosperous and successful future!

This restaurant is not only serving the best Italian food in Melbourne, but the service is good and the ambient is nice. The serving are generous and well priced as well. Licensed and Free BYO an added bonus, and FINALLY a menu in which PIZZA ALLA MARINARA  is real and not loaded with seafood.I highly recommend it and I will certainly be back.
