Vatutto is a family run restaurant, Owners Paul and Myrto Recinella moved from their 16 year Institution at Zios East Melbourne to the Ivanhoe location in 2015. A full renovation was completed recently creating a modern yetelegant atmosphere. Vatutto translates from Italian to ‘Everything goes’ the menu here has a diverse flavour selection from all corners of the earth. Produce here is sourced from premium suppliers, and we use sustainable seafood from Australian or New Zealand waters, Wagyu beef from Gippsland, organic eggs, fruit and vegetables, and quality imported cheese, dairy products and flour. Bread is baked daily and all desserts, pastries and ice cream are all made on the premises using quality ingredients.

A great find - very busy on a Tuesday lunchtime. An extensive menu and although we only had a main course each, it was fresh, well cooked and delicious.

This is a fantastic fine dining restaurant which caters to all tastes. Food, service and ambience are fantastic. Va Tutto is consistently good and they offer something infrequently seen in restaurants. Staff are professional and always checking in to see if customers are happy. Water glasses are never empty and drinks are always offered. This place knows and understands service

Visited Vatutto Restaurant for the first time yesterday and we were blown away by the excellent service and the quality and presentation of the meals. The owner and her staff could not do enough for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and we will definitely be going back! Keep up the great work.

The food was delicious and serving sizes were generous. The wait staff were attentive and friendly and provided good advice in relation to the food and wine menus. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience with the only negative being a flickering light above our table (which I'm sure will have been fixed).
