How we read reviews →Buzzing Degraves Street laneway Italian all-day diner famed for warm, attentive multilingual staff.
A warm, buzzing European-laneway atmosphere on Degraves Street, with outdoor umbrella seating, ambient firelight, and occasional live sax and vocals.
Live sax and vocal performances some nights, half-and-half pizza splits, complimentary desserts and champagne for celebrations, and staff fluent across several languages.
Reviewers repeatedly liken the food and ambience to genuine Italy, from the pasta and risotto to the laneway's European cafe-culture feel.
Most reviewers see it as good value for generous portions and quality, though drinks can run pricey ($14 for a stubby) and one reviewer felt it was overpriced overall.
