How we read reviews →Basement Collins Street trattoria loved for two decades for its near-legendary seafood linguine and cosy, old-school charm.
Intimate, rustic basement trattoria with warm lighting, close-packed tables and a convivial buzz. classic Italian rather than fine-dining precious.
A basement setting evoking a Tuscan trattoria, a bar area for solo diners and overflow, and a changing specials menu alongside the long-running classics.
Reviewers repeatedly describe the food as classic, traditional Italian. several compare it to Nonna's home cooking rather than a modern reinterpretation.
Most reviewers call the food and portions generous for the price, though a handful flag smaller-than-expected servings on specials like the gnocchi.
