AI Summary

St Kilda Italian opposite the Palais. standout gnocchi, but service can be hit or miss.

Large, moody dining room with dim lighting and beachfront glimpses of Luna Park; feels more glam-lounge than classic trattoria, and can turn chaotic on event nights.

Wood-fired pizza oven, handmade pasta, and window seats looking across to Luna Park and the St Kilda foreshore.

Reviewers are split. some praise authentic San Marzano tomatoes and technique, others say the execution doesn't feel authentically Italian.

Mid-to-high prices for the portions; some reviewers felt small serves and inconsistent execution didn't match the cost, though standout dishes like the gnocchi are called worth it.
