We had been told this this is one of Melbourne's finest restaurants. Maybe it had been but not anymore. Food was tasteless and bland. Certainly not an Italian menu. Service was pompous. Cost was outrageous. More

We have been here several times previously. We enjoy the ambience, the continuous excellence of the food and the friendly service. We travel regularly and enjoy returning to one of the most reliable and elegant icons in our home city, where the service is friendly and exacting, the Italian food is always of the highest standards and the place is...

Melbourne used to have a lot of grand restaurants. Grossi Florentino is the last man standing. As you walk upstairs you go back to another time and place...expensive time and place but who cars.....the service and the food are outstanding..make sure you sit in the main room not the suburbs outside it More

We had a wonderful lunch in the Cellar Bar at Grossi Florentino on a recent trip to Melbourne. The service was great with knowledgeable, friendly staff. The Italian Pino Grigio was yum and the lasagne was to die for. After having travelled Italy last year (my husband did the "lasagne tour"of Italy ), we found the lasagne to be made... More

I've been here quite a few times, many times where i have organised dinner for international visitors for work functions but i also recommended it for my Sister In Laws small wedding. Everyone loves the food, it is not overpriced. The service is nice and the people who work there are friendly. More

We went with my in laws and had a memorable evening. The food was excellent, delicious and beautifully served. The wine list is extensive, and pricey but very good. The service was faultless:...

My wife and I have dined at Grossi Florentino in the upstairs restaurant many times and it is one of our favorite restaurants in Melbourne, especially when looking for that old world traditional dining experience. With many of the newer top restaurants having a modern and more minimalistic decor the upstairs restaurant at Grossi has old style grandeur and ambiance... More
