Funghi e Tartufo' - Italian plant based restaurant

Who ever said that to eat vegan and earth friendly food you need to renounce the delicacies of traditional Italian cuisine?
Our Chef Alessandra D'Angelo moved to Australia from Sicily in 2009 and she has been working incessantly on vegetarian and vegan recipes since then.

At Funghi e Tartufo, she have turned plant-based food into something so delicious that you won't desire anything else!

In a converted 19th century warehouse in the heart of Melbourne CBD, Funghi e Tartufo – meaning Mushrooms and Truffle in honour of their signature dish – will offer you a unique experience leaving you breathless.

The inspiration is traditional Italian and the vision is a modern and earth friendly way to marry deliciousness with plant based food.

Review summary

Funghi E Tartufo is a plant-based Italian gem in Melbourne's CBD, celebrated for its "incredible food" and "lovely service." Diners rave about the "fantastic" mushroom and truffle pappardelle and the expertly curated wine list. The restaurant's welcoming atmosphere and attention to detail make it a "must-visit" for both vegans and non-vegans alike. While some suggest more non-alcoholic options, the overall experience is highly praised for its culinary excellence and vibrant setting.

    The service and the ambiance was fantastic. We ordered the gnocchi and the lasagna which were tasty and filling. We ordered mocktails to drink but it wasn’t the best value - too expensive for what we were getting. Overall a brilliant place and will come back again!

    First experience of a fully vegan restaurant as meat eaters and experience did not let us down. Top quality food and good wine list to match it all.

    'Funghi e Tartuffo' is the best plant based dining experience in Melbourne's CBD. Where else can you find Italian waiters serving in an Italian restaurant in Melbourne :) I dined with two non vegan friends and both of them enjoyed their meals, as well as the experience of dining outside in Hardware Lane on a warm evening. It will be my go to vegan dining venue from now on.

    We booked a table (4) at Funghi E Tartufo for an early Friday evening (5:30PM-Nov2024). When we arrived I was surprised to be told that we couldn't be seated inside as 'they were fully booked'. So, we found ourselves on a couple of smallish wabbly tables on Hardware Lane. Not a great start, particularly when we could clearly see that inside the place was completely empty, not a single customer seated anywhere! We ordered our entrees which consisted of the Calamari Fritti which was on a bed of Rocket greens with some roasted capsicum. This dish was OK, probably a 7/10, but probably not worth the $21 price tag. The other entrees were Olive Nocellara, small green unpitted olives in oil with two very small pieces of bread. At $9.00 again overpriced and not much on the plate 6/10. The beer offering is Italian only and NO low or no-alcohol products available. As I was driving I stuck to the table water. The mains were as follows: 1. Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo $36.00 Quite a nice dish, but the serving was quite small 7/10. 2. Ravioli di zucca $32.00 Another pleasant offering but also on the small size 7/10. 3. Gnocchi allo zafferano $34.00 Quite a plain dish on the small side again 6/10 4. Lasagne $36.00 This was the best dish! A reasonable size and good eating 8/10 Desert: 1. Cheesecake al cioccolato $18.00 This was not a bad desert BUT it was nothing like cheescake! More like a chocolate slice 7/10 2. Tiramisù caffe e Amaretto di Saronno $20 Not the worst version of this classic that I have tried, but a bit on the small size again 7/10 So, all up it cost us $261 (+$3.92 card surcharge) $264.92 for a very average meal in a less than comfortable space. When I went inside to pay the place was still empty. Summary: This place lies to its customers and treats them pretty shabbily! The food is OK although most of the servings are quite small. The prices are premium, but the service and the customer experience is sub-par.
