A truly beautiful Italian cafe. I have been here for a slow, relaxed dinner as well as lunch, both times the experience was simply lovely. The food is divine, the atmosphere and service faultless. The staff are so warm and welcoming, and very accommodating to my friends who had their 4 month old baby in a pram. The only thing I would recommend to Umberto's chef is to please include a greater range of vegetarian fare, it is what is stopping me from coming back more often!!

Approximate cost: $20

A great addition to the Thornbury cafe scene. The food is wonderful and delicious. It tastes like you are eating at a friends house and Nonna is in the kitchen whipping up scrumptious delights. The coffee is great and the breakfast is fantastic. try the ricotta scrambled eggs, heaven!!! light and fluffy. If you close your eyes and smell and then open them you could swear you were in Italy. Unpretentious, friendly and great value. I am reluctant to recommend the Osso Bucco as it is mindblowingly good and i dont want to share!!!! A friend of ours has opened this joint (disclosing as i am a true believer in only supporting and promoting the truth and it is a requirement on the review site which i totally agree with!!) It is a fantastic place, give it a go!!!!!

Approximate cost: $16
