Their food best resembles traditional Italian food you'll probably have in Italy. The pizzas and pastas are amazing. Very soft and rich in taste. Would highly recommend trying to place whether its for a celebration dinner or just a get together. This place is one to remember and probably the best Italian food you'll have in Melbourne. For the price they charge you and the quality of food you get, I think its the best food to value ratio.

Bruschetta was nice but it went downhill after that. Waited nearly two hours for main from the time we arrived. They gave us free sides and desert to try to make up for the wait which was nice but we still won't be rushing back.

The meal was exceptional, with fresh and beautifully presented dishes. It was the most authentic meal I've had in a long time, with great portion sizes that were delicious. The pannacotta was the best I've ever had. Overall, dining here was truly an exceptional experience and a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best Melbourne has to offer.

However, the service did become a bit inconsistent as the restaurant got busier. The prices were reasonable for delicious traditional Italian food served in a warm and welcoming environment. I highly recommend trying the crumbed, stuffed olives and the whitebait as starters, and any of the pizzas will delight your taste buds. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.
