Conveniently placed near the Arts Centre, Southbank and Yarra, Teatro Gastronomia was a great option for dining before a show. The food was delicious and service was good. My pasta was amazing and the tiramisu was perfect.

Teatro is a Southbank gem. We had friends in town from Brisbane who said "can we go somewhere with great pasta, pizza and other delicious Italian things..." It was a stunning Autumnal evening and we sat outside overlooking the Yarra. Don't miss the Teatro Signature Bread. Paired with warm olives - divine. Signature Seafood Linguine fantastic, as was house-made Pesto Gnocchi and Rigatoni Amatriciana. Wash that down with Australian bubbles, a Tiramisu and Affogato and you've had a great night. Crew were cheerful and entertaining. Thank you Teatro!
