Some restaurants in Lygon St have been there for years and this is one of them. Always a safe bet for a good meal.

Great atmosphere, great food, great location. If you want consistent food, value for money this is the place it has a great ethenic feel plus modern Italian cuisine. I have been coming here for 5 years and have not been disappointed yet! Definatley recommend this little gem

The best restaurant in Lygon Street. Great food, great value, fast service. The staff are very friendly. The service second to none. You only have to look up attracting the attention of the floor manager and he will have a waiter/waitress straight to your table. Not to be missed.

The food was the first bad meal I have had in Melbourne. It was so salty that I felt very dehydrated. Thank God for the company and bottle of wine. Woolies serves better gnocchi!

We visited DiMattina's on the saturday night of the F1 Grand Prix weekend so of course Lygon street was going to be busy but this place got slammed there were people coming and going in droves and it seemed a large private party upstairs so it was mayhem. The service was friendly and we were all happy with our meals... More

Service was great, waitress extremely attentive. Food was nice, a tad over priced but nice. Worth stopping in if you are in the area and looking for somewhere to eat.
