My family decided to go to Nonna's for dinner recently as it was a hot day and I didn't feel like cooking, it was nice being waited on midweek for a change. We ordered some pizza's and we tried their lamb greek salad, it tasted so fresh and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their pizza, they were quite generous that we actually had some left over so we asked to have it packed up to take home, which they did. Our boys finished it later that night. The desserts looked great but we didn't have any room for them. Didn't have to wait long for the pizza's to be served even though they were quite busy. Nice friendly atmosphere, it did cost a bit more than we expected, but it was worth it.

This review is for Carlos Cantina - Mexican Restaurant, Boronia VIC

If you are looking for authentic delicious, mouthwatering mexican food, then this is the place to go. I did think it was a bit pricey (around $20+ for a main meal) but the food really is great and they are generous with the servings. I thought the banquet was the best way to go because you get to try quite a few different meals and it is fun with a group of people, not knowing what is coming out next. Found the service to quick and the staff friendly even when busy. Love their faijtas and nacho's - a definite must have. If you don't wish to pay full price, go monday - wednesday as it is half price meals. Highly recommend, definitely returning.

A really pleasant place to go for a coffee and something to eat. Very friendly atmosphere, great coffee and I really like their menu, a bit of variety. Really enjoy a slice of cake with my coffee here. Unfortunately it is a bit out of my way so have only been twice. Prices are very reasonable. Would like to return soon.

Stopped here for a light lunch with family as they said they had been here many times and it was a nice place to go for a meal. This is the strangest littlle cafe I have ever been to, it's like they closed off a lane way and turned it into a cafe with dining outside. It is very small, but a lovely cafe with quite a substantial menu and excellent coffee, tried their caffe latte - delicious. Enjoyed their sourdough sandwiches, other family members ordered share plates. Loved the way the food was presented, it truly is a nice relaxing place to go for a cuppa or meal. Friendly atmosphere and staff.

Decided to try this cafe after doing my shopping. It was quite busy, many seniors today, so I was the odd one out. Sat down and had a nice cup of coffee, looked at the menu to see what was on offer, quite a few meals to choose from and seeing everyone elses meals they all looked like a decent serve and quite delicious. I didn't have time for a meal myself, definitely will next time, coffee was just right, fast friendly service with a relaxing atmosphere. It is located at the coles end of the shopping centre.

This review is for Holdfast Hotel, Glenelg SA

This really is a great place to have a meal with the family as the meals are very reasonably priced. Have always enjoyed their seafood, steak, schnitzels (kids favourite) and burgers and the servings are quite generous. My only issue is that the meals are not always served at the same time. It is quite annoying when you have ordered 6 main meals and they come out 2 at a time with up to 15 minutes in between times. So I would suggest that you order entrees to share just in case you experience it aswell. But overall we really enjoy our meals here and will be returning. Pleasant, modern dining experience.

This review is for Gino Fontains Pizza Restaurant, Wantirna VIC

Have tried this pizza restaurant a couple of times but as yet have not eaten in. The restaurant looked very clean with plenty of room for dining. The aroma of the pizzas is what draws you in, you cannot resist. We have tried their BBQ Meatlovers, Americana, Garlic Pizza and of course Mexicana. My husband tried their BBQ Ribs, said they were delicious. Great tasting Italian pizza is what you get here. Of course they don't just do pizza, they do steak, chicken, pasta - tooooooo much to mention. Very fast friendly service. Next time we are in Melbourne, we will make the time to have a sit down meal here. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Definitely recommend.

This review is for L'Espresso, Ballarat VIC

Stopped here for breakfast on our way back to Adelaide and was very impressed with the food on offer. The breakfast menu was fabulous with so much to choose from. We decided on the scrambled eggs, bacon, spicy italian snaggs, tomato and a nice touch - some focaccia bread. Went down well with a great cappuccino. A friendly atmosphere, very nice cafe and great service. Our meals were very statisfying, they really hit the spot. Definitely recommend.

Love this little restaurant! They serve delicious food here, loved their kebabs, curries and the rice is cooked perfectly. The servings are not huge, so make sure you have an entree or allow room for dessert. It is BYO, so make sure you take some with you, corkage is expensive. You really do need to make a reservation, as we left disappointed on our first attempt as they were booked up. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will return.

Decided to go here with family after reading a couple of the previous reviews. I thought this was a great restaurant to meet up with family, such an extensive menu. I settled on the Pastitio while other family members tried the meat mixed grill and the seafood mixed grill. It works out cheaper if it is ordered for 2 people. They also do banquets, might try that next time. Everyone loved their meals - especially the seafood. We finished off with coffee as we could not fit in any dessert. Found the meals to be reasonably priced, generous portions and we experienced a very friendly atmosphere. A place we will return to, as will our families living in Melbourne. They couldn't believe they had not already tried this restaurant. No complaints, had a great time.
