- PPaulGold Coast •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFabulous food in a nice spot with Italian vibes. We had the fettuccine and gnocchi and both were obviously freshly made and delicious. It’s a busy spot with lovely ambience. There is a 10% weekend surcharge, which we were surprised by coming from out of Melbourne. Would recommend.More infoMaccaroni Trattoria ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Melbourne CBD•4.5

- RRichardNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoI loved it when it opened in the mid 1990's and I still love it now nearly 30 years later. Little seems to have changed at Il Solito Posto, which is a blessing - great food, great wine, top service and a great vibe. And the signature pasta dish"farfalle al salmone" is still on the menu. Magnificent!More infoIl Solito PostoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Melbourne CBD•4.8
