Reviews
"Give these people a go! This is a small family business. Small, crowded, disorganised at times. But that is offset by their friendliness and enthusiasm. They'll get better! Give them a chance. Particularly good was the live music, which is just the thing needed to add to the intimacy."
"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."
"Authentic little italian dining place. Limited seating so reservations recommend. Had the aglio olio very good. Ozy carbonara was very good too. Garlic pizza not garlicky enuf. Had mini donut thing for dessert incredible. Would visit again!"
"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."
