Mietta's Review
The boys have fun tossing pasta, pounding out dough and shovelling pizzas into the wood-oven. Staff are running in all directions, collecting plates to serve the tables inside or outside on the pavement. Busy take away too. It's not just a pizzeria, it is a place where you can stay a while, catch up with friends and watch the ragazzi (boys) at work.
Other published opinions
Sunday Herald Sun, sunday magazine, dining, 2003, Sarah Wilson, Score 7/10. Familiar, uncomplicated, home-style pizza and pasta dining. A cheap and neat wine list allows the food to be washed down with an appropriate wine. The portions are huge, and whilst not a bad thing it does mean that the prospect of 2 courses is daunting.
Or perhaps ...
Arrivederci Aroma Victoria
Near the Queen Victoria Market serving Italian food and coffee. Can be noisy with its rather industrial design.
Becco Victoria
Popular, well pitched, inner city Italian - very Melbourne. Good litttle bar attached. Mains around $40.
Benito's Victoria
Benito's feels like an old friend. The menu at breakfast and lunch is Italian, and in the early evenings it's antipasto and wine.
Bottega Victoria
The room is pleasant, the dishes are simple but well done, and are complimented by a thoughtful wine selection.
Caffe Cento Venti Victoria
Caffe Cento Venti has it all; a bar, a cafe, an upmarket restaurant and an outdoor area under the plane trees at the Paris end of Collins Street.
Cafe Intimo Victoria
Cafe L'Incontro Victoria
A standard cafe but the position nestled next to the Town Hall makes it all worthwhile on a fine day.
Caterina's Cucina e Bar Victoria
Caterina's is only open lunches, it is primarily a businessman's dining room. Service is very good.
Florentino Cellar Bar Victoria
The tiny tables support large plates of pasta, and the bar, the elbows of the drinkers. Dark wood lined and clubby.
Florentino Grill Room Victoria
A classic grill-room, good ingredients simply but correctly cooked, served by professional waiters
Il Bacaro Victoria
The epitome of Italian style and flavour. A gem of a place, cosily chic or crowded, depending on your girth.
The Italian Victoria
The Italian has moved half a block to swanky new, multi-layered premises, at the rear of 101 Collins St. Coffee bar on Flinders La, restaurant above.
Italy 1 Victoria
In a narrow laneway, off the Paris end of Collins Street, is Italy 1, a small and intimate restaurant
