I was looking for Italian food other than pizza and found this cute little place. My husband and I absolutely loved it! There's such a large choices of pasta and other authentic Italian food. All the dishes with had were worth a 5 star restaurant to us. Plus , their 3 courses deal is THE deal. Highly recommend Pure Italian if you are looking for real Italian food.
Went on a cold Tuesday night & the restaurant was half full. The food was excellent, along with exceptional service. Will definetly go again.
Pure Italian is my absolute favourite.The first time I went there I fell in love with the atmosphere of the restaurant, it felt like stepping back in time.
Rita and her staff are so lovely and warm, making the experience even more of a pleasure.
As for the food, it is on another level! The best pasta I have ever had and it is always consistent every time.
Pure Italian is a hidden gem and I thoroughly recommend.
I been there last night with my friends, i had linguine and my friends had lasagne and pork which was absolutely beautiful, service was really good as well. So i recon that's the best place in north Balwyn to go for dinner. Thanx guys for beautiful night. I will come again. Cheers
Cute little place on the main road.. Small amount of seating in the front, it felt like we were sitting with the table next to us.. Other than the close seating, everything else was perfect.. the food was delicious.. We had the antipasto platter which was tasty! Can also recommend the gnocchi with lamb ragu and the seafood linguine. The panacotta was to die for and the tiramisu was the best that i have ever had. Worth a visit for some delicious food :) I would definitely make a booking to ensure a table!
First time but not last .i went with my wife and the place is divine and so beautiful I felt home food is great specially the lamb shanks it's melt in the mouth oh how great experience absolutely I'll be back thanks guys ;)
For a long time I have wanted to dine at this restaurant & I am glad I finally did. I loved the options on the menu especially all the pasta dishes! I had a pasta dish with gorgonzola, walnuts, pancetta & pear which was very tasty and melted in my mouth. My friend had braises beef checks which was super tender and accompained with roast vegetables.
I would love to come back with my family.
Definitely recommend this cafe! Food was delicious and service was great! Perfect little cafe in the suburbs and a great place to go with family and friends.
A mate introduced me to Pure Italian when I was working in the area... We shared the Gnocchi Ragu and the Sea-food Soup.
Coffe was spot on also. The owner, staff & guys in the kitchen were really friendly & inviting giving the place a nice family feel, actually took me back to eating at nonnas.
Will definitely be back - can't recommend highly enough.
This looks promising .....
The frontage of this small trattoria is very attractive, "village" provincial in the middle of North Balwyn.
So I can only stop by and pay a visit, coffee time.
Orange La Marzocco and their own blend of coffee beans, $4.30 Soy latte was well made, lots of characters and enjoyable.
Will re-visit for dinner soon. 11/10/2016.
Excellent service from a super friendly waitress. High quality food featuring super fresh seafood. Nice decor too, and our 1 year old was very well looked after. His food came really quickly and he loved his arancini balls. Very satisfied all round. We'll be back.
fantastic. I know it's an Italian restaurant but it's the kind thing you would find in Paris. They have a 3 course meal deal with coffee for $45. I left so full because the food is divine. BYO wine. Lovely service and a really relaxed low key atmosphere. I'm not a person who writes many reviews but I just had a great meal. It's a real gem.
Authentic, beautiful italian. Great atmosphere and wonderful food.

Fantastic, a discovery I want to keep to myself but I will share to ensure Pure Italian stays for the long-term (selfish me!).
Great tasting, fresh, authentic Italian food.
Truly friendly and helpful service.
Warm ambiance and comfortable.
Interesting decor.
Very reasonable prices.
Ticks ALL the boxes except one....why isn't it open for dinner?
Sorry, can't say any more, rushing off for lunch at my favorite lunch spot, PURE ITALIAN!!!!
I rarely write reviews on the internet but I believe this restaurant deserves an excellent reputation. Every time I went there, the food was absolutely AMAZING. I don't understand how people can complain about it.. maybe jealousy hahah. Waitresses are super nice and you can only enjoy and your time there with some Dean Martin playing in the background. I recommend this place to every italian food lover. Trust me you won't be disappointed
