How we read reviews →Lygon Street's queue-out-the-door parma house, famous for an $18 platter-sized parmigiana.
Loud, crowded and high-energy. tightly packed tables, a constant queue out the door at peak times, and a no-frills old-school Italian-Australian dining room.
No-reservation queue system requiring at least half the party present before seating, a large central bar, and staff reviewers describe as inclusive of workers from varied backgrounds.
Old-school Italian-Australian comfort food rather than traditional regional Italian. reviewers describe it as classic Lygon Street fare with modern twists, not fine Italian dining.
Overwhelmingly praised for portion size relative to price, with the $18 chicken parma repeatedly cited as one of the better-value feeds in Melbourne.
