For our visit, it was a good Italian restaurant, but not exceptional in any way. Portion was fine, food was good. Service a little slow. Did not stand out relative to similar restaurants in the UK and Italy. More

Its not the most inspiring Italian joint in Melbourne, but the food here is consistantly good. Its comforting to know that I will get what I pay for. Its never completely packed so you never have to wait for a table. More

Great value for money, had one of the best woodfire pizzas at this place. More

We stopped here to kill some time at 4.00pm on a Sunday afternoon, not overly busy so staff attention was good. We had a couple of Peroni beers at $8, some lovely bruschetta at $9 and an antipasto plate at $16 and considering the location, we were happy with the price and quality !! More

Luckily I went to this restaurant before I read these reviews as this was not my experience at all! Had a very nice lunch here...lunch special is any pasta or risotto for AUD10.

I ask for the Manager who explained that they had a problem with people getting sick which they attributed to bad food care after... More

This is a very good choice at Southgate in Melbourne right in the Yarra River. The menu has a wide selection of items and wines, and the food quality is very good. My dinner was a pizza with prosciutto, capers and pesto, and it wasa great decision. Very thin crust and extremely tasty, with wines by the bottle or glass... More

We ordered main meals and they were both disgusting. When we complained we were told we should have complained earlier! We would have if the staff had been anywhere around!! When we asked to speak to the manger they were rude and unhelpful, implying it was our fault?!?!? We were told the reason the key ingredients were in short supply... More
