How we read reviews →Chadstone's Italian stalwart with open kitchen drama, chargrilled steak, and exceptional scallops
Warm, dimly lit Italian restaurant with a theatrical open kitchen adjacent to Chadstone Fashion Mall and Hotel. The décor is modern and classy without being stiff. a balance of sophistication and comfort that suits both anniversary dinners and casual date nights. The kitchen theatre adds energy without noise.
Open kitchen allowing diners to watch chefs at work; connected to Chadstone Hotel (Altus bar upstairs); Accor Plus member discount available; banquet dining option for groups; celebrates birthdays with complimentary gestures; chef's seasonal tasting menus.
Authentic Italian character with a modern Melbourne interpretation. house-made pasta, Italian seafood preparations, and a wine list curated with Italian varietals. The kitchen's Italian credentials are reflected in the emphasis on technique and ingredient quality rather than heavy saucing.
Premium pricing. steak mains from $59-$95, spaghetti at $44, sparkling water at $7. With the Accor Plus discount the value proposition improves. Without it, several reviewers find the pricing hard to justify given inconsistent execution. At its best, reviewers rate the wagyu as better than more expensive steakhouses.
