Loved our meal! From the homemade gnocchi to the specials, everything was amazing. The staff gave great guidance on a bottle of wine and we very much enjoyed our meal.

Consistency is the word to use with Il Solito Posto. Consistently fresh and flavoursome food, exceptional service and a price point that is adequate for both personal and corporate wallets. This is my go-to restaurant when I have visiting executives, and I am always applauded for the choice. In a world where post COVID service can be sadly lacking in many restaurants, Il Solito keeps raising the bar. Cannot fault the service or food. Thank you, team!

The ambience, food and service are outstanding. The food and drinks are on the expensive side but ok for a once in a while treat.

We had been to Il Solito Posto over 10 years ago on a previous visit to Melbourne & we’re happy to find it was still open. The food was better than we remembered, the silver service & attention to detail was excellent & the price was reasonable for such a special experience. Thank you.
