Description

La Camera is a well-known Italian restaurant located along the Yarra River in Melbourne, offering a cozy ambiance with excellent views. While some reviewers have experienced disappointing meals with overcooked or tasteless dishes, others have praised the friendly service and delicious food options. Highlights include the 8-hour slow-cooked ox cheek, perfectly cooked paella, and highly recommended pork belly. Those looking to dine before a show at the Melbourne Recital Centre may find this to be a convenient choice. Overall, La Camera seems to have mixed reviews, with some diners eager to return for another visit while others will not be back due to deteriorating food quality and increased prices.

Firstly, the food was incredible. I think It's hard to have dinner at a place where you would rate every single course of the night 5 stars, but the pizza and lasagne were excellent, and the dessert, tiramasu and gelati were perfect . Servers were friendly and quick, meal arrived to us within 10-15 minutes of ordering (on a Wednesday night), and the atmosphere was cool and quiet, we had the fortune of a nice well lit window seat. I'll be coming back for my Mum's birthday as a nice surprise for her.

My husband and l dined there for lunch today. A grey, wet day outside but once inside and seated we were looked after by the friendly staff so well. The food was quite lovely, we will be returning.
