We had a specific requirement of cassata after eating our main meal. We went through about 20 restaurants until eventually we found Little Italy Pasta House. Our waiter was very friendly and quite jovial in an old-fashioned way. The restaurant seemed dated and we were the only people sitting inside. We ordered a cassata, two creme brûlée , and a... More

I went to this Restaurant in Feb and again this month because the food was lovely and the service was a delight... Now I read the reviews on this site before I went and thought, I'd give the Octopus Salad a go... SOMETHING HILARIOUS - there is not and has never been Octopus Salad on the menu so I am... More

We left the kids (teenagers) at the Imax theatre and headed up to Lygon St for lunch on a cold, wet day. We picked this restaurant because no one was smoking (We come from Queensland so we never have to deal with people smoking in eating areas) and there were other patrons-usually a sign of a good food in my...

I've been to Little Italy Pasta House on Lygon St. a few times now, so i can definitely say that i'd have to disagree, the food is great... you chose a very beautiful place to take your girlfriend!! and $34 on fresh and a well-presented meal doesn't seem too bad if you ask me!! I highly recommend this place!!

This place is terribly overpriced. My girlfriend had an octopus salad at $16 and they used ice berg lettuce and included the butt of the lettuce to boot. Slim pickings! My pasta was OK but i've had much better at the $18 price I paid. Do yourself a favour and go a few shops down the road to Mercadante.
