This review is for Bocelli Caffe Ristorante, Adelaide SA

Despite its Italian name, this restaurant serves pub-quality meals in a nondescript setting. As the name suggests the menu is mostly Italian with very average taste. There are two televisions on the wall which only add to the non-restaurant feel. You have to order and pay upfront at the counter. The prices are quite high for the service and quality provided. There are much better food at much better locations available for the same price or less in Adelaide.

Approximate cost: $32.00

A nice looking place; more elegant than casual atmosphere and good service. The coffee we had was average, so were the desserts. The menu, including the desserts seemed to be the same as it was two years ago. It was OK but nothing special then, its the same now. I 'll be looking for a more original place next time I'm in Adelaide.

Approximate cost: $5.00

Lovely place in a great location. The prices are very reasonable, service is excellent and fast. I had the roast duck breast - it was delicious! Crispy skin, no fat, melt in the mouth meat and lovely plum sauce. highly recommended!

This review is for Adelaide Central Market, Adelaide SA

My favorite market to visit! Its big enough to find everything you want on a market - produce, butchers, delis,the small eateries, gourmet coffee plus small stalls of second and books, jewellery etc but small enough to be able to visit everything without feeling exhausted. This lovely market is still a market not a place for tourist nicknacks like so many others in Australia. Definitely not to be missed.

Great tasting pizzas, some unusual but very tasty comboes. A great find among the same old same old type of pizzerias. Service is friendly and fast, focus is very much on the positive customer experience not only on profit. Will keep coming back!

Approximate cost: $17

Lovely staff, caring polite service with a smile. the drawback is that the beds are old, the tubes are only changed once every 18 months therefore they provide next to no tanning. You have to buy 15+ minutes at a time just to get a barely noticeable tan over 4 sessions. Waste of money and time, hopefully no tan also means no harm to the skin but who knows?

Disappointing macaroon (apparently award winning or voted best or similar? )and overpriced chocolates. The staff is very friendly and helpful its only the chocolates, hot chocolate and coffee that are way overpriced and disappointing.

This review is for Cafe Romeo, Balwyn North VIC

The coffee is very good- strong with a smooth clear taste. The waiter, a young gentleman, was unfriendly and made us feel like us and the other patrons were annoying him. He just slammed your coffees on the table. The shop itself looks old and tired, like a temporary place just thrown together in an afternoon. Definitely not a nice ambiance. A mug of coffee costs $4.50 which is more than other places charge. I don't think I'll be back, despite the nice albeit pricey coffee.

Approximate cost: $4.50

A true gem for girls! Their stock is carefully selected and beautifully presented in this fun but elegant store. The service is excellent, the salesgirls are pretty and very helpful, always happy to give advice but I never felt uncomfortable or pressured to make a purchase. having said that I don't think I ever walked out empty handed. Their sales are also amazing if you can resist the temptation in season. Well worth a visit!

We live locally and visit 8-10 times a year, sometimes we hire the tatami room for small functions. This restauratn never disappoints - the sushi and sashimi are freshly made in front of your eyes by the chef and the hot food is also excellent. Service can be a little slow on the weekends if they are understaffed but always polite. A well priced, great place to visit!

Approximate cost: $35.00
