Reviews
Great little local restaurant. Both the pizzas and pastas were delicious. Did get a bit noisy when the restaurant was full, but it was part of the atmosphere. It was really busy when we visited and the service was still decent. Do be aware there is only a few spots of parking in front of the restaurant with street parking a few minutes away.
🤌🏼😍Very friendly people here and fast service. The pizza and pasta are the best in the area. In other words tastes like heaven😍. You can not finish your night before trying their lovely and delicious dessert. I really recommend this place to you, specifically on Wednesday they have jazz night
It is small and busy but they are moving to a bigger place - we were glad we booked. Inside and outside seating and everyone - customers, staff and food delivery drivers look happy. It looked like what dinner at nonna's place would be like if it was efficient and organised. We did BYO but there is a good selection so maybe next time we will try the Italian wines to see what they are like. It's a pleasant vibe - I ordered the calamari entree - perfectly cooked and with a tasty sauce. While several pastas were tempting i went for the chicken parma and it was tasty. The chips were pretty good too - crispy. My wife ordered the pasta with mussels and clams and it looked good then she ended with an affogato. A great night in a place that oozes Italian flavours and friendliness.
Italian food done right. This place is just heavenly, I can smell the beautiful garlic and pizza crust aroma from far away as I walk toward the entrance of this restaurant hence it's a good sign.
Service is great, the waiter are all so friendly and even give us a recommendation of their dishes.
True enough all of the recommended food are just soooo delish.
Pasta cook al dente and the sauce is cooked with love ❤️❤️
The pizza just beautiful, even the crust is so delish.
For dessert we ordered tiramisu and boy it's sooo yum. Not too sweet but pack full of flavour.
Will be back for definately to try other dishes.
It is a small restaurant but with big taste. Service by Shima was fantastic, and the food was generous and prompt. We were recommended the pizza with mushrooms, and I reckon it was one of the best pizzas I have tasted. The pasta was cooked al dente and on point. The dessert was tasty as well. As there were not many parking spaces available in front of the restaurant, I had to park near Woolworth. Bookings are recommended as this place gets very busy.
My favorite Italian restaurant in Melbourne. The food is so perfect. The mussels pasta and seafood pizza are amazing (I forget to take pictures as they are too delicious) I also love the tiramisu a lot. And don’t forget to try the chili oil with the food, it will surprise you.
Nice and easy night out great pizza and pasta friendly people.
