i met some friends in stkilda and we weren't too sure where we should eat (we are from the outer western suburbs)
We asked a local reatil shop and they suggested Cicciolina. It was a little noisy and quite busy but after 10 or so minutes we found ourselves getting drawn into conversations going on around us .

The food was fantastic, especially the meat balls & arancini balls. "To die for" as the barman said, and I tell you he was on the money with that comment. We originally ordered one serve of each but had about 5 serves of each between us by the end of the night.
The cocktails were great, the service great and the barman was absolutely FANTASTIC!

My neighbors children decided it would be a good idea to kick a football through my back windows, 3 times, on the same day.
I couldn't get any other glass people to come and fix them because it was about 5pm on a friday when I managed to track down this company they had someone attend in half an hour and the fixed all 3 windows that afternoon.
They were much cheaper than obriens glass and cleaned up after they had finished.
I would recomend them to everyone and have had friends use the service since, they have all been pleased with the quality , timeframe and service.
