Whenever I'm down Lygon Street and feeling a little or very peckish I come here :) there are so many places down this street that u can go but I always think to come here first before anywhere else. I especially love their muscles in a red tomatoe sauce - simply delicious! And great pizzas and sharing tapas plates.

The service is nothing to brag about though... Sometimes I find them to be a bit rude.. But the chef shouldn't b punished - definitely go for the food not the fantastic service

This place is great for an early bite to eat before going across the road for a movie at the nova. Later on at night it gets really busy and quite noisy. The food is pretty good - not fantastic but reliably good.

A fun little place to eat. The food was pretty good although I had to wait quite for the waiter to bring the menu. There is so much competition around I'm not sure if I'd go back.

Quite a popular place and I really don't understand why. The place is cramped and the food is bland, hardly worth the wait personally. Staff seemed rushed and on one occasion our drinks never came.

Approximate cost: $18.00

This place has a great atmosphere especially when it's crowded on a winter night. Their minestrone was delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Their pizzas are really great as well!

Tiamo always has lovely pizza and pasta options, with some specials and meatier mains like osso bucco or the mixed seafood grill! I've tried all the deserts too: tiramisu is a hearty sized portion, which is delicious, the lemon cheesecake is huge or finish with a coffee! The service is not the greatest you will find, but generally there is great value in the food.

Some of better Italian Restaurants in Melbourne. The pizzas are at the highest quality, very yummy!! The atmosphere of the place was very unique, but still kept its Italian atmosphere traditions. One of the only places that make nutella pizzas. So Good!! A bit on the expensive side, but food quality compensates for that.

My sister and I came here at about 8pm on a Tuesday night and the place was jammed! Good old italian food with lots of specials. We just shared a pizza but that was great. They bring out the meals fast which is great if you're after a quick meal (eg before or after a movie). But if you want to chill out and chat for a while, its great for that too. It's much bigger than it looks too - a huge upstairs area including outside upstairs - great on a warm night.

Tiamo 1 and Tiamo 2 are located next to each other on Lygon St, but I always seem to end up at Tiamo 2, as there are more inside tables and chairs. The food and serice is ok, but what I like is that you are generally left alone by the staff unless you ask for something. I would recommend having the homemade pasta with meat balls, followed by a hot chocolate.
