How we read reviews →Intimate Hawksburn Village Italian wine bar known for handmade pasta and an elegant, cosy fit-out.
Cosy, elegant Italian wine bar with dark timber, leather banquettes and marble touches that lean into a New York bistro feel. intimate enough for a date, roomy enough for a group of eight.
Chef-led pasta program with dishes like spanner crab spaghetti and cacio e pepe, an extensive Italian wine list, and private-event capability that's hosted wedding welcome parties and cocktail functions.
Multiple Italian reviewers vouch for it as genuine Italian cooking, and the restaurant carries links to the Grossi family's Italian dining lineage in Melbourne.
Mixed value signal. some diners call the $35 lunch pasta-and-wine deal excellent value, while others flag mains near $40-50 with recent complaints about shrinking portions for the price.
