This is an excellent Italian restaurant in Central Melbourne. Located in the basement of a historic building, the vibre is very cosy and customer friendly. The main courses, small plates, pasta and wine are all good in very reasonable price. The food quality is super. Of interest in mentioning Jack, the serving staff in this restaurant is very knowledgeable and customer friendly. This is a restaurant that I highly recommend to any one who looks for a good Italian restaurant in central Melbourne. Need to book early for a table in weekend.

The overall ambiance and smell of the kitchen from the moment I walked in had me very excited for the food that awaited. I ordered the Eggplant & provolone polpette, Ravioli and Panna Cotta. All excellent. The service from the team topped off the whole experience. Highly recommend and will return when I find myself back in Melbourne.

Amazing. We have been passed here on many occasions and so pleased we finally booked. Everyone seemed happy which is a good sign of a good restaurant and it's fair to say the food didn't disappoint. Everything had that home made taste and was cooked to perfection. The staff were very chatty and always willing to please and serve. Thank you and can't wait to go back.

Pasta tasted good, and I really liked the lamb steak. Most staff were nice, but one of the staff members who served us was being rude - And despite the reservation was for three people, we were guided to a double seat where an extra chair was attached which made us request a change to another seat.

Looked for cozy restaurant, got cozy restaurant. If you want a nice place to have a chat with friends and have some delicious food then this is it. Got the swordfish, the two pasta specials, some drinks, and dessert, all were great. The waiters were attentive too.
