Excellent restaurant. The atmosphere is very Italian with the typical traditional Italian bistro furnishings and the food is to match - authentic. Also friendly service.

Came here on a really busy night in this area of Lygon Street, and it was really big, so there was still enough room to get a table. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was GREAT. Will go back again for sure.

I'm from Adelaide and whenever I am on holidays in Melbourne this is the Italian restaurant I go to. Hard to compete in Lygon street with so many great Italian restaurants but this is among the best in my opinion. The staff are excellent, friendly and happy. Lots to offer on the menu and I asked for a change to the listed risotto by taking out o...

My wife and I love going to this restaurant. We find the staff ever so friendly and attentive and the meals very good quality. I have had a beautifully cooked shiraz steak numerous times and my wife loves the barramundi. The restaurant has been renovated and feels very comfortable and a nice place for a romantic dinner.

Approximate cost: $30

Dimattina's is somewhat of an institution on Lygon Street. It is always busy and bustling. Good luck getting a seat on Saturday night! The pasta is delicious and I wuld not miss it! Prices are a bit on the expensive side but you always pay extra for quality and I have never been disappointed going here!

I love café Italia. If you're a pasta nut like me then you've got to give them a go. They make the pasta fresh every day and it you can tell. It's silky and cooked perfectly al dente. My favourite is the fettucine alla arrabiatta but the pesto is great, too. If you're not into pasta they've got plenty of other dishes as well but I'm addicted!

Approximate cost: $20 for pasta

I have to say little Italy would have to be one of the best italian restaurants on Lygon st. You always get friendly and prompt service and as for the food it is outstanding. Their bruschetta is beautiful in taste and texture and as for the cannelloni i think its the best i have tasted in a long time

Great meals and great service, we experienced when we attended for a work luncheon.

I had a gnocchi pasta dish and it was delicious, fresh tasting and full of flavour.

Staff were friendly and attentive to our needs.
