I went here for dinner last night. Wine by the glass was great value and I was a big fan of the Buffalo Mozzarella and tomato dish. Garlic bread was delicious. Chicken pizza was good, but not amazing. Service was very good. Will most likely return again :-)

Came here on a really busy night in this area of Lygon Street, and it was really big, so there was still enough room to get a table. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was GREAT. Will go back again for sure.

This is my favourite restaurant on Lygon St. The pizza and pasta is incredibly authentic and made from the finest ingredients. The mixed bread for entrée is so flavorsome and the perfect way to start the meal. The staff are always friendly and do their very best to be prompt and helpful. The price is exceptional, around $40 for two people including entrée, main and drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Approximate cost: $15

Excellent dinner here! The key to finding the right restaurant on Lygon St is to look for the ones that are well patronised, with customers spilling out onto the footpath and the terrace. That was the case here and we were greeted at the door by Matt, a waiter of 16 years service here.

The food was excellent! I had spinach and ricotta cannelloni with bolognese sauce and my son had a capricciosa pizza. Both were delicious. Service was prompt and efficient and the prices were the icing on the cake. Not expensive at all.

I'd highly recommend eating here if you like real Italian food.

I am glad to read that you have dined at this great restaurant! Its one of my personal favourites along Lygon Street. Definitely authentic Italian cooking and I am very fussy when it comes to Italian cuisine. Next time you come to Melb, you should try their gourmet pizzas - they are sooooo yum!

Recently dined here on our family holiday to Melbourne.
Wow woo wow, we loved it, the food is devine, the portion size are huge. Food is fresh, tasty and hot.
We sat outside which gave us the whole Lygon street experience, being Italian I love Italian food of course.
The staff made us feel right at home, they are friendly and not shy to speak the language.
The prices are reasonable.
Toilets are tiny and semi clean.
We loved every moment here if go back to Melbourne
We will revisit
Keep up the great work

Approximate cost: $75.00

Went here with my Brother, Mother & Grandmother on a Sunday evening after spending the day visiting my father in hospital.

The meal was fantastic, hearty serves and we only went the entree size options, excellent flavours and fairly priced.

The service was good too, our waitress was very patient with my Grandmother whom had never dined in an Italian restaurant before so needed some coaching.

I would happily return here if I was in the area again.
