We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner at Il Solito Posto. Much has changed, for the better, since we last visited four years ago. The food is as good as before, the venue is now more vibrant and offers better value. The wine selection is interesting and attractive. Would highly recommend this

This has to be one of the best kept secretes of Melbourne. After 6.5 years in Melbourne, 3 days before we return to London, it was one of our last stops. We will miss you Luca.
