The food here is indeed fantastic, as it should be for the price. The sizes are quite generous as well, something lacking in many places these days. Highly recommend the dessert platter, but make sure there's a few to eat it or have plenty of room left!

I'm not so keen on the dining/seating arrangement, as you're perched next to and across from other diners as if you're eating with them. It's a little crowding and somewhat uncomfortable in my opinion if you're looking for some space. It seems a ploy to save space and gain customers in limited room.

Great place to come for an excellent parma and a microbrewery beer or two. With a huge selections of parmas to choose from and stacks of beers (including many micros on tap) this place won't disappoint. Don't leave without downing the sticky date pudding either!

I had been here before and on my most recent visit went with recommendation to others. Since last year, the meals have substantially decreased in size and quality and was left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. Unfortunately, the dishes are now simple and uninspiring for the price.

It is still a nice venue, however, the Docklands area is totally deserted these days and was disappointing to be so quiet at the restaurant and around the area on a Friday night. It does make it easy to score a table though!

This place is an excellent Chinese restaurant to check out! The food is top quality and at a decent price. While it's busy here and can get a little noisy, the speed of service is amazing and your food is out in a flash! Will be back for sure.

I went to the CBD Swanston St location for dessert and coffee on Anzac Day. As Anzac Day is not a public holiday in Melbourne I was surprised to see them charging a 10% public holiday surcharge on this day. This is a low attempt to cash in on the unsuspecting consumer, despite the fact they would be paying staff no more on this day. Shame on you Brunetti.

I ordered a Tiramisu, which was small for the price and the cake was a little dry and lacked flavour, just loaded up with cream. Avoid this place.

This is a wonderful Australian restaurant serving unique foods you're unlikely to have tasted before, including natives like emu, crocodile and wallaby. The food was very nice and the service was good, expectedly since it was quite empty. It is rather overpriced considering the sizes of the meals and tasting plates, but is otherwise worth a try.

This is a good Indian restaurant for high quality food and great service. While the food is probably a bit overpriced, the quality is very good. Recommended!

Known as one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Melbourne, this place does not disappoint. The food here is fantastic and the service is ample. It is overpriced, but you know you are getting a great feed here. Recommended!

Went hear with a large group and didn't expect a lot. Was pleasantly surprised with the quick service and great food, at a very reasonable price. Nothing to write home about here, but still a quality feed at a good price. Recommended!

An all-time favourite of mine, for the food and the value! Massive serves is the only way to describe it, the pastas and desserts especially. You will be left dumbfounded. As it is quite large, the staff are a little impersonal and rushed, often leaving you waiting. All is forgotten once you receive your mountain of food though.

If you're not a massive eater, go for dessert only and you'll have eaten enough cake to cover a meal anyway! A personal favourite of mine and a true Melbourne icon!
