How we read reviews →Hidden-away Carrum Downs Italian trattoria locals repeatedly call a genuine gem.
Warm, polished trattoria feel with a cosy open fireplace, tucked behind a Savers store, feels more like a well-loved neighbourhood find than a strip-mall Italian.
An open fireplace for cosy dining, a kitchen willing to accommodate specific dietary needs on request, and a wine list by the glass.
Long-time customers of the sister Shanikas in Berwick describe the cuisine as authentic Italian home-style cooking, though a few felt this location doesn't quite match Berwick's standard.
Reasonable prices with generous serving sizes according to most reviewers, though a couple note portions felt light for the price on off visits.
