    Always good authentic Italian food and arguably the best pizza in Melbourne. Peter is a wonderful host and Francesca manages the restaurant service with quiet efficiency. A little slice of Italy in Brighton.

    I read the reviews about the excellent service and great pizza and I was not disappointed. We all enjoyed the amazing food and the service was just as impressive as the food. We all said we would definitely be back. Best Pizza I’ve had in Melbourne, closest to a real Italian Pizza.

    Lovely food and evening. I believe 1&1/2hr sitting isn’t long enough when you are dining with a group,. I booked online and there isn’t any mention of 1&1/2hr sitting at time of booking or when confirmation of the booking is sent at that time. Something to be mindful. The food though was lovely.

    What a little gem this is. I've been living around the corner for 6 years and finally stepped inside. Even for a Monday evening it was reasonably busy but especially the take away section. Could not fault any of the food, Gnocchi, Pizza, Calamari Fritti and Spaghetti Frutti de Mare. AMAZING. Best Italian I've had in, forever. Will definitely be back to try more.

    Very authentic Italian restaurant. Greeted with "buona serata" when we walked in. The food was outstanding. The pizza crust was perfect and the gnocchi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Will definitely be our new go to!
