Description

Nestled in a cozy corner, this restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere and reasonably priced meals, particularly its standout wood-fired pizzas. Diners rave about the generous toppings and flavorful options, including delightful antipasto platters. However, service can be hit-or-miss, with reports of disinterested staff, lack of menu knowledge, and unfortunate experiences with Groupon vouchers. Patrons have noted inconsistencies, from overly small portions of paella to mixed responses from management during service hiccups. Despite these drawbacks, the restaurant’s ambiance and select dishes, like the pizza bianca and steak night specials, make it a potential gem for casual dining.

The meatballs had a nice, juicy texture and were generously sauced, while the breadsticks were a bit on the hard side and not quite up to par. However, I came for the pizza, and it did not disappoint! I would highly recommend this place, as the prices are very reasonable for a wood-fired restaurant, and the quality of the pizzas is definitely top-notch.

We began our meal with an antipasto platter and garlic bread, before moving on to a selection of their most popular wood-fired pizzas. My favorites were the Hawaiian and the salami, topped with paprika, olives, oregano, and buffalo mozzarella drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. To finish off, we indulged in a dessert pizza topped with seasonal fruits and ice cream.

8 of us went to dinner at Olive Garden in St Kilda. It was soo tasty and the service was great. Very friendly staff and short wait times. We had a fantastic night and would recommend it to anyone looking for good food and a cosy atmosphere.

We went in here for a quick bite to eat, seen the deals they had on for each night which looked very reasonable price wise.I went for the steak, which was a huge portion considering it was steak night - $20 with a nice glass of wine.My partner tried out the pizza which we will definitely be coming back for again! The curry also looks yummy, another on my list!All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem

Avoiding the loud bars in favour of a nice intimate dinner we walked in to a warm welcome. Antipasto platter was filling and delicious to start. Continued with seafood linguine with LOTS of seafood and a rib eye. Sides with steak (croquettes, coleslaw and grilled mushroom) were a nice change to chips. Great night.
