How we read reviews →Hidden CBD fine-dining vegetarian find with Italian pasta, wine and a half-price Apero hour.
An intimate heritage building tucked behind Queen Victoria Market, with a cosy ground floor and a 'super cute' upstairs level reviewers favour for dates; white tablecloths, low lighting, a fairy-lit courtyard and antique-boutique styling set a romantic, special-occasion tone.
Multi-course seasonal 'feed me' tasting menu with chef's-choice dessert, daily 5-6pm Apero happy hour with half-price cocktails, own farm near Daylesford supplying fresh produce, dog-friendly courtyard, sommelier-curated international and non-alcoholic wine list.
Italian-leaning vegetarian and vegan cooking (girella pasta, spaghetti alla assassina, focaccia, cannoli) reinterpreted through a farm-to-table, plant-forward lens, with reviewers praising the kitchen's skill at drawing flavour from vegetables.
Mixed sentiment on value. many find the $90pp seasonal tasting menu and $60 two-course lunch worth it for quality and creativity, but a recurring complaint is small portions and high prices for what's served, especially when mains arrive lukewarm.
