How we read reviews →Grossi Florentino: Melbourne's grand Italian fine-dining institution, decades of hatted cuisine and old-school hospitality.
Rich, historic Melbourne institution with Florentine-style murals and ornate ceilings in the upstairs Mural Room, a more relaxed Cellar Bar downstairs, and the a la carte Grill - formal but warm, though seating near the kitchen or in busy sections can get noisy.
Sommelier-guided wine pairings, a multi-course Gran Tour tasting menu, three distinct dining spaces (Cellar Bar, Grill, upstairs Mural Room), and old-school touches like hot towels and a handbag stool.
A multi-generational Melbourne institution operating under the Grossi family name and decades of old-school Italian hospitality, though at least one reviewer of Italian heritage felt the food strayed from home-style Italian.
A genuine special-occasion splurge - the set lunch menu is widely seen as excellent value, while the full Gran Tour tasting draws more mixed reviews on whether the price matches the portion size and consistency.
