This is one of those authentic little Italian restaurants, with home made pastas. Right in the city centre of Geelong, The best dish would have to be the chicken, avocado and mango gnocchi. Generous servings, entree is usually big enough

Approximate cost: $15

I went here recently after hearing family and friends rave about the place, and I must admit I agree. This is easily one of the best Indian restaurants i have ever been to, small cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food with a great range, and its even BYO

I have used Flight Centre Geelong to book every holiday I go on, all the girls there are extremely friendly and helpful, always smiling, they get back to you when they say they will, and often can book everything for you over the internet or phone without you having to go into the store.
