Eighteen Sixty

Nagambie's best-kept secret. Italian precision, a wine list full of local drops, and a host named Bernie who makes it memorable.

Intimate and warmly lit. European bistro feel in a compact dining room with a heated courtyard pergola. The cosy atmosphere encourages lingering over wine. Busy when full but conversation-level noise. Dog-friendly in the courtyard.

Seasonal, regularly rotating menu spotlighting local Victorian produce. Extensive regional wine list with staff who guide you through it. Heated covered courtyard with blinds for year-round outdoor dining. Dog-friendly. Gluten-free pasta and bread available. Chef Adele Aitken behind the kitchen.

Strongly Italian in ethos. handmade pasta, classic preparations (ragu, risotto, tiramisu), Italian varietals on the wine list. Reviewers including those who've dined in Italy rate it among the best Italian food they've had.

Exceptional value for the quality. reviewers consistently call it 'great value' despite the fine-dining calibre of food. Some wines are noted as slightly over-priced but most of the wine list is well-priced.
