How we read reviews →Ascot Vale wine bar plating hatted-calibre Italian dishes like gnocchi and squid ink pasta.
Intimate, unpretentious neighbourhood wine bar with warm European café charm. cosy indoor tables plus a sought-after rear courtyard; several reviewers note the room gets genuinely loud once full.
By-the-glass wine list running to 20-25 options, a solo chef running the whole kitchen, indoor dining plus front and back courtyard seating, and a rotating blackboard specials menu.
European-Italian technique and produce-driven cooking that reviewers say genuinely transports them 'to Italy', with occasional Asian-inflected touches (ponzu, squid ink) layered on top.
Repeatedly called underpriced for the quality. mains mostly around $25 and shared dinners for two landing near $115-175. though a few reviewers flag $18-20 desserts and coffee-and-cake add-ons as steep.
