Went to this place on our holiday. The ambience in this place is pretty poor, the standard italian fake wall paintings, 2 italian songs on replay with the volume too high. The food itself was ok, but the portion size was pretty shocking $16 for a tiny pizza is not good value if you ask me. The one thing that really rubbed us the wrong way was the service.
The staff was quite rude and when the food was served, the food was just chucked on the corner of the table and the waitress (who later on turned out to be one of the senior staff!) just kept walking... never seen anything like that in a restaurant.
Stay away from this one!
Family run business have been going there for 13 years and the food is extra special and delicious. Owner and son introduce themselves to you and all wait staff are so attentive. Its a 5 minutes walk from cavill ave and they will be one of the best restaurants you dine at all week. Only wish we could bring it back to Melbourne with us. All meals are well priced and served piping hot, do yourselves a favour.
An old favourite. Brimming with authenticity! It may not seem appealing at first, sidewalk location and nothing too flash. But the fact that it is always busy, speaks for itself. Incredible food (try the veal piccantae), beautiful owners and a huge hit with locals.
