How we read reviews →Family-run Italian beachfront café in Port Melbourne serving fresh pasta and calamari burgers
Warm, family-run Italian café right on the Port Melbourne beachfront, with owners Marisa, Vince and Christian creating a welcoming, almost European seaside feel regulars call unmatched.
Hands-on pasta-making cooking classes, gluten-free pasta and FODMAP-friendly options, daily-changing house-made cakes and Italian pastries, and direct beach views from the dining area.
Genuinely Italian-run. reviewers describe the owner as Italian and note authentic touches like hand-split pasta, Primitivo wine pairings and 'true vibes of Bella vita.'
One reviewer noted breakfast prices ran slightly higher than expected, but most call portions generous and the fresh, home-made food worth it.
