"Masani Restaurant on Drummond Street provided an unforgettable dining experience for my birthday celebration. The food was delicious, with the Steak Florentine impressing my husband and the surprise Vanilla Soufflé being the best I've had in ages. The suggested wine pairings were spot-on, enhancing our meal perfectly. The attentive service led by Ricardo and his staff made the evening truly special. Highly recommended for any occasion. We'll be back soon, bringing others along to enjoy Masani's excellence."
"Masani is a beautiful restaurant with an old-world charm, serving high quality dishes which transported us back to Italy. We couldn’t fault a single dish – the food was so fresh and made with local ingredients. Best of all, Masani has an impressive wine list curated by an award-winning sommelier, featuring unique wines from across the world. Aperitivo: Italian green olives, terrine, pickles and house made crusty sourdough bread. Primi piatti: Piatto del orto – seasonal zucchini flower with goats curd, ricotta cheese, truffle water and balsamic vinegar. This was such a well-balanced and fresh dish which had a nice crunch. Pasta: Paccheri pasta with slow braised oxtail ragu, venetian spices, sage & thyme – our favourite dish, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Dolci: bonet – dutch cocoa, nocello & amaretti custard, and hazelnut praline. The use of dutch cocoa (70% cocoa chocolate) gave this dessert a lovely bitterness which was balanced out with the sweet custard."
"Recently had a lovely experience at this restaurant. I love the heritage and history of this place, playing host to some famous chefs and a strong passion to cooking fresh Italian cuisine with local ingredients. Recommend adding this restaurant to your list of places to visit in Carlton!"
"Second time here and absolutely loved it! The food is fresh and the flavour is insanely good. Staff is welcoming, professional and the wine list is more of a wine bible. Will definitely come back."
"A beautiful night in a beautiful restaurant, the service was outstanding thanks to Kara for making it such a personal experience, the food was honest rustic and delicious, the wine was another level especially the amazing (& very long) list to choose from which was brilliantly backed up with a world of knowledge & good advice from Kara yet again & the company wasn’t bad either. All in all it was a perfect night, what more can you ask for?"
