Best places: Southern italian restaurants in Australia

Airy, contemporary restaurant preparing coastal seafood specialties, grilled fare & pastas.

👍👍 The best focaccia in Melbourne, hands down. I recommend the gourmet ones, especially Mortadella&Pistachio... or Octopus... or Salsiccia&friarielli... oh my God! To many good ones!!! They are all amazing. Also Jessica's desserts are to die for 🤤 I love the cosy atmosphere, and the super friendly...

Buzzy destination offering traditional dishes from southern Italy, with vegan options & live music.

😐 We had a great night at Toscano. The food was good, but it really isn’t special. I have had my fair share of mid to high end Italian food and the food from Toscano is average. Don’t get me wrong, technically the food is good but I wouldn’t come back. The service was hit and miss, we had a excellen...

👍👍 The owner of this venue worked with Gordan Ramsay for 10 years, if that isn’t a green flag for delicious ingredients and recipes then I don’t know what is. If you’re lucky enough to have Stefano in the kitchen, you’re in for such a treat. He is someone we described as being one of the rare people wh...

👍👍 Love Bar Toto, whether visiting in person or getting delivery/takeaway, everything is consistently high quality. Peter's done an amazing job setting up the bar here, the drink list is regularly updated and new additions are always a level up from what they replace. Toto is in an element of its own i...

😠 We ordered the Margarita with chicken and the Capricciosa pizza for takeaway. We were very disappointed that the Capricciosa Pizza did NOT come with artichokes as stated on the menu. We were the only customers there so I am unsure how they managed to forget to add the artichokes. Both pizzas were ve...

👍👍 I had a wonderful dining experience with my husband. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the cosy and beautiful ambiance of the restaurant. We enjoyed a delicious meal, including the gnocchi, tandoori pizza, and chips, which were all prepared to perfection. For dessert, we indulged in th...

👍👍 Cheesy Charlies is a delicious choice for your next pizza fix. Friendly and warm atmosphere with a tasty menu to suit. From service to product, Rob and the team have nailed it. Can't wait to come back.
