Our meal and experience here was so good that my friend, who was only in Melbourne overnight, decided to stay an extra night so we could return the next night! The meal was outstanding and staff know their stuff: excellent knowledge and advice on the meals and there to top up the glass at just the right time.

Hidden down a cute laneway in an old motor garage is one of the very best Italian restaurants in the city ... actually, one of the best places to eat! Their Gnocco (atteptiser) is a fluffy savoury starter that never fails to get my guests to say "oh ... wow". Great sharing food (or don't share) and excellent wines (mostly Italian). Pastas are unique, the mains amazing. I visit regularly. Not cheap but certainly not over the top.
