Italian $ Was lured in by the fresh pasta in the window. Decided to try a couple, pretty decent! Could use a bit more flavour. Will definitely go back next time I’m in the area to try others, they have quite a pasta variety. 🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝 7/10 https://www.pastaclassica.com.au/

Pepe’s Italian and Liquor
Italian $$ The Pepe pop-up at the aus open had the lasagna, which I am always a sucker for! Sadly it lacked flavour, would not say was worth the price. Hopefully the restaurant version is much better. 🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝 6/10 https://www.pepesitalian.com.au/
Marameo
Italian $$ Got to try the pop-up of Marameo at the Aus Open. Had their black pepper pasta, can’t say I was blown away, fairly peppery, and could’ve used more cheese! It was peak dinnertime so may have been made in a rush, if I try the actual restaurant one day I hope for better.Continue reading “Marameo”
Sal’s (CBD)
Italian $ For a traditional New York pizza slice, go to Sal’s! Wasn’t expecting a simple Margherita to taste so good! Will come back for more one day. 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 9/10 Home
The Waiters Restaurant (CBD)
Italian $$ A cute Italian restaurant that’s hidden away in the city, this place has a wonderful stripped back vibe that feels like you’re eating at Nonna’s house. Order from a no-fuss menu for a pleasant Italian meal. Wouldn’t be my favourite Italian place and was more expensive than I expected, but a lovely restaurantContinue reading “The Waiters Restaurant (CBD)”
Lollo (CBD)
Italian $$ A unique mix of Italian and Indian food, this restaurant in the new W hotel of Melbourne looks very chic. They’re famous for their duck lasagne, their modern deconstructed take on the traditional lasagne. If you’re expecting a regular lasagna, you might be disappointed, but if you keep an open mind, it’s delicious!Continue reading “Lollo (CBD)”
The Mess Hall (CBD)
Italian $$ On a street full of great Italian restaurants, it must be tough to stand out! But this quaint little restaurant has an authentic vibe, with great quality pasta. Duck ragu pappardelle was delicious with good bite! The seafood tagliatelle had a decent amount of prawns, but was a little salty. Gnocchi was anotherContinue reading “The Mess Hall (CBD)”
Osteria Ilaria (CBD)
Italian $$$ In terms of Italian in the city, had never heard of this place! But this place is a gem! Everything was beautifully flavourful and buttery. Highlights were the croquettes (wonderfully crunchy), duck pappardelle (nothing like that bitey fresh pasta) and fried potato. On top of that, desserts were also incredible, ricotta gelato hadContinue reading “Osteria Ilaria (CBD)”
Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana (CBD)
Italian $$ A great little Italian place in an alleyway of the CBD. Good quality pasta and pizza. https://www.maccaronitrattoria.com/ 🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝 8/10
Rossini Bistro Pasta & Pizza (Malvern)
Italian $$ Great quality pizza! Americana pizza is one of my favs. Pastas are average, but pizzas are much better! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rossini/158677674168455 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 8/10
Etto (Malvern)
Italian $$ The best Mac and Cheese! Anyone passing by should definitely stop by. Other pastas and pizzas are also top notch, some of best I’ve had! 🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝 10/10
Capitano (Carlton)
Italian $$ Absolutely delicous, true Italian food. Simple but brilliant. One waiter was rude. Best food: ‘Carbonara’ suppli, Classic Cheese Pizza, an Vodka Sauce Rigatoni https://www.capitano.com.au/ 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀9/10
Eat’aliano (Windsor)
Italian $ A decent small Italian place off the main craziness of Chapel St. Good parking in a quieter part of Windsor. Good pasta, wouldn’t suggest getting the Pippa pizza, sounded cooler than it tasted! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕7/10
