How we read reviews →South Melbourne wine bar pairing standout Italian-European plates with a bottle shop next door.
An intimate, European-feeling dining room on Bank Street. reviewers repeatedly say it 'feels like Europe,' with warm, attentive staff and a cosy, settle-in mood, though tables can feel crowded when full.
A $15 corkage fee lets diners bring any bottle straight from Prince Wine Store next door, plus a regularly changing seasonal menu credited to a named head chef.
Genuine Italian technique (osteria-style pasta, anchovies, ragout) blended with broader European dishes like duck confit and spätzle.
Mostly seen as worth the spend given food and wine quality, with the $15 corkage called 'real good value,' though a minority find it overpriced for the space.
