How we read reviews →South Yarra's buzzy all-day Italian bistro opposite the Botanic Gardens, known for pizza and brunch.
A loud, energetic Domain Road terrace across from the Royal Botanic Gardens. lively rather than intimate, especially at weekend brunch when every table is full.
A private dining room upstairs for events, dog-friendly outdoor seating with water bowls facing the Gardens and the Tan, a wood-fired oven, and outdoor vinyl playing on quieter mornings.
Italian dishes such as cacio e pepe, gnocchi and linguine vongole sit alongside an all-day Australian brunch menu; several reviewers found the Italian execution inconsistent on given nights.
Reviewers are split. most rate the pizza and pasta worth the price, but several flag small portions, a pricey bottle of sparkling water, and 10-15% weekend surcharges as poor value.
