Clara served our table and was entertaining and attentive
Beautiful Italian restaurant with great service. We loved our food and the atmosphere- the building is absolutely beautiful. There’s an extensive wine selection, the staff give great recommendations for food and we will be back!! We ate:
Their menu options could accomodate everyone taste buds. Service was very friendly but could have been a little bit more attentive with drinks and water because they weren’t that busy other than that highly recommended. We will be back!
An enjoyable experience. Very welcoming with fantastic table service matching the friendly and warm atmosphere. Looking around you could see that the restaurant was buzzing and everyone was enjoying their time there especially the food and wine. I would definitely recommend the pasta dishes, very fresh and full of fresh flavours. A great place to catch up with friends and family.
Great location with plenty of car parking spaces nearby. The staff were friendly and attentive. We had booked a table for 13 and were in a what seemed like a private dining area which was perfect. Great decor and overall vibes. The food was also on point, with plenty of authentic flavour! Thanks for having us & keeping the place open until 10pm which was past the listed closing time of 9pm - we really appreciate it!
Lovely environment. Staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely wonderful. The gnocchi was by far the best I’ve ever tasted. The salmon was exceptional. Will definitely dine again when visiting Ivanhoe-Melbourne, Australia.
Just had a celebration for 25 guests and selected the shared plates @ $78 per head.
I was a fool. I forgot how exceptional the quality of the food is here. I’ve allergies (dairy and soy). So my options were reduced, we chose : olives, crumb-less calamari (which I expected to be ruined and dry by the change), seafood pasta and beef carpaccio. THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EATBEN IN SO LONG! The seafood was AMAZING. Subtle flavours and smell. I want to eat it all again. I’m gonna read it and just listen to. I’ll see if it’s off my phone.
So loved this place. Had the Aranchi and the Prawns for entre. Had to get bread to soak up the amazing sauce from the prawns. The chorizo pasta was tasty with flavours of red pepper tomato and green olives set against the chorizo. Yaaarrrmmm.
