How we read reviews →Neapolitan-run laneway trattoria in the CBD serving handmade pasta and blackboard specials.
Warm, rustic Italian trattoria tucked down a Melbourne laneway, with a cosy, transportive feel reviewers compare to dining in Italy; the long narrow room gets lively and can turn genuinely loud on busy nights.
Complimentary deep-fried pizza dough balls with entrées, a blackboard of daily specials alongside the printed menu, a wine list spanning Australian and Italian labels, and a chef who does the rounds to check on tables personally.
Neapolitan-owned and staffed by Italian-born cooks and waiters, with reviewers. including Italian-speaking guests. repeatedly describing the food and hospitality as genuinely authentic.
Mid-range pricing that most reviewers call reasonable for the CBD, generous portions and quality of the handmade pasta, though a few note serving sizes feel light against the bill on pricier specials.
