AI Summary

Carlton's cosy family-run trattoria, famous for handmade gnocchi and 48-hour pizza dough.

Small, warm and unpretentious, with a family-kitchen feel tucked off the main Lygon Street strip, cosy enough for a date night yet welcoming for groups.

48-hour fermented pizza dough, complimentary focaccia to start, a 2-for-1 limoncello spritz deal, and a hands-on owner who chats with tables.

Reviewers with Italian heritage and Italian-speaking guests specifically vouch for its authenticity, crediting an owner with genuine Italian training.

Good value overall, especially on the Wednesday pizza special, though a few reviewers felt portions were modest for the price on quieter nights.
