How we read reviews →Bentleigh's intimate family-run trattoria, where owner Massimo makes regulars feel like family
Small, cosy and unmistakably romantic. an intimate dining room with warm lighting, classic Italian music, and a genuine home-away-from-Italy feel.
Owner Massimo personally welcomes regulars and remembers their preferred table; BYO wine is permitted at lunch; a complimentary limoncello finishes the meal; staff have arranged song requests for proposals.
A family-run Italian restaurant led by Massimo; reviewers with Calabrian heritage specifically praise the gnocchi Catanzarese as true to the original regional dish.
Reviewers consistently call it reasonably priced for the quality. one described $156 for food and drink for two as very reasonable. though one felt a regional specialty dish was overpriced for the portion.
