Had a great meal here. Very good Italian and the staff again are just great. We were able to communicate in Italian which I always enjoy. This place has a fabulous outlook over the Yarra, complimented by the bright city lights. A fine dining experience and not troppo caro! More

Always busy, with a great vibe, handy to the Arts Centre, better-than-average food and quick service. Recommend the outside terrace overlooking teh Yarra and Flinders Street Station, even on a cold night (heating and shelter provided). More

We were seated at a table on the balcony amongst storage of chairs, heatres etc. The service was good but when the meals arrived we were all (three of us) a little disappointed; quality average and the salads were not entirely the ingrediants on the menu. More

In regards to your dishes, not sure what happened there and whether you let our waiter know. We always re do the dish if a customer is dissatisfied. Happy to discuss and... More
