Consistently good, best takeaway pizza we have had. Staff are extremely helpful and happy, delivery prompt. We have had virtually every pizza on the menu and they are great. We have also had the pasta - enough for lunch the next day!

A bizarre little restaurant that always manages to cheer me up. It feels like you are being entertained in someones lounge. The staff are friendly and always smiling. Food is fresh and tasty. This place will cheer you up after a hard day for sure. Even popping in for a takeaway puts a smile on my face (spontaneous lighting of fire crackers on my last visit!)

Great potential. The atmosphere was great. Although my husband and I felt we had had better Italian meals in Melbourne or even Hampton. The staff were distracted by the obvious regulars next to us and we were near forgotten.

Fairly average. There are definitely better places in Hampton to try. We had brunch here and as someone who has an allergy to eggs, i felt pretty limited choice wise, service was quite slow and waitresses seemed a little disinterested

Approximate cost: $20

Really enjoyed our meal here. I had pizza, which was one of the best i've had here in Melbourne, lovely light crust with a great amount of toppings. Husband had pasta which he loved. Atmosphere was great and we left knowing we would return!

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Kids Company Childcare, Sandringham VIC

I struggled putting my beloved daughter into daycare at a year old, but unfortunately I had to return to work. I was hoping that a good daycare centre would ease my mind and allow my daughter to develop and grow. From the very start I knew I wouldn't get this from kids company.
The quality of staff, there lack of ability to communicate and general consistency of care was a huge concern. My daughter was fed food that she had allergies to on several occasions, this was terrifying for me. There were many incidents which I raised with staff, but then it would seem another would crop up. Needless to say, I took her out of the centre and what a difference! I took her to another centre close by and found that they listened, responded and fedback. I no longer feel that sinking feeling when I drop her off in the morning.

General advice for anyone putting their child into daycare for the first time. Trust your instincts.

Approximate cost: $440 per week
