Great Pizza and service!!
We went as a group of 5, and was surprised with the quality of food! The new owners have really lifted the place :)
The pizza was full of flavour and lots of options. We wanted a calzone that wasn’t on the menu, and they were happy to make it!
Pizza sizes are a bit weird, medium is more like a small. Large is more like a medium.
The calamari salad had a LOT of calamari, and was fresh and cooked really well.
We also ordered the seafoods pasta, omg sooooo much seafood!
Food servings were big, but not crazy big that you waste anything. Prices were fair considering the quality and size of dishes.
Try the desserts, they are also really good!!
Will be back again!
Holy Moly!! What a Parma!
I have had take away pizza from here before and never been disappointed, so decided to go and eat in for a change.
I had the Parma, which was massive!! Probably didn’t need that garlic pizza first up, but delicious all the same.
Very quiet restaurant on weekdays but decent food.
Thanks for an Italian feast!
DELICIOUS FOOD AND GREAT VALUE.
We’ve just moved to the area and were keen to try out the local restaurants. Thankfully we were pleasantly surprised with a wonderful meal at Sazio. Firstly the wait staff where incredibly prompt and polite and attended to all our needs with a lovely smile. I ordered the gluten free pasta marinara and it was fabulous. Super fresh, perfectly seasoned with great GF pasta and sufficient amount of seafood (however I did have 3 muscle shells and only 1 muscle in my meal???). I also ordered a lovely fresh rocket salad. My partner ordered a chicken parmigiana which he said was one of the best he’d eaten. Perfectly crumbled and cooked to perfection. My only criticism (and just a small one) would be they were a little tight with the wine pour (for $9 a glass). Otherwise we are looking forward to returning to this warm, welcoming and friendly Bayside restaurant 😀
Never had a bad meal here. I always get the Sazio Style linguine which has chicken, prawns and beans. Delicious every time. Good portion sizes plenty of chicken and prawns. My partner either gets the gnocchi matriciana or the carbonara and hasn't been disappointed. The chicken risotto and the garlic pizza bread with cheese was very nice too. We will continue to go to Sazio.
best pizza in the area by far. Everytime i go somewhere else.i wish i had gone there. Fluffy chocolate deserts also.everything ive had here was a delight to esto.
Nice restaurant and very friendly staff! We had a gluten free pizza which was good and chicken. Everything tastes very good and fresh. See u soon!
Great atmosphere. ..excellent food and attentive professional service.
The seafood marinara was delicious. .. and considering was requested 3 different ways...magnifico. ..molto molto Bene. ..
As for dessert ..... what ever you choose will be delicious. .. BUT personally I would recommend the Affogato..( with Tia Maria )
These guys always look after us and make us feel special. The chefs are very talented and Alex, our waitress, is the best out there!! If you want reasonably priced Italian food - go here! It's also BYO so we can enjoy all our favourite wines with this incredible food!
I had calamari last night , food was good and perfect portion to eat for one person I had really good experience definitely would like to come back also staff is very friendly
Great local Italian. Not cheap but the takeaway pasta was amazing. Between three people you only need two serves as they are generous portions. The takeaway menu is pretty good or you can always dine in.
We ordered from Sazio's via Delivery Hero...and WOW! Without question the BEST home delivery we've ever had. From the quick turnaround of about 35 mins, the genuinely lovely delivery guy to the delish food, we were so impressed. We ordered margherita pizza which also came with garlic and cheese pizza, both searing hot with cheese still really melted. Pasta carbonara also hot and full of good flavours, fresh cracked pepper and substantial portions of good quality bacon. Our chicken parmigiana was tender, huge, crispy crumbed and also had cheese still hot and melting. The accompanying chips were fresh and, surprisingly given it was home delivered, crispy and not soggy. A fresh salad with good quality balsamic dressing just topped it all off. We will certainly pop in for a dinner in house soon.
Quality experience. Lovely place with friendly staff who go out of their way to create a positive environment with a amazing menu.the variety of pizzas being my favourite it's hard to compete. I would definitely come back :)

It's a shame that a lovely meal can ruined by staff who want to close early on a Friday . Food is lovely, if a little pricey, the over all experience was sadly regrettable.

Very nice place, friendly service and a lovely menu. The antipasto would feed a family, the pizza are terrific as are the cocktails. I have been here a few times and nothing has disappointed.
Great fresh food, awesome atmosphere and service with a smile!. Went down with a big group of us and were able to be accommodated in at very short notice. They had amazing service, the staff were all lovely and the restaurant owner himself came to check that everything was going well! I ordered a pizza, and was barely able to finish it there was so much! (coming from a 95kg male who usually goes through more than one pizza). The quality was great, all the food was fresh and I found myself envious that I couldn't fit more in; I would've ordered another dish if I could!
Can't wait to come back with family and friends to do it again!
I found this place wonderful to dine in . Never ever had such a nice pizza like sazio. Love to visit again
I have read all the review of Sazio before i went to try their food.. From the first i was finding all possible mistake that i was thinking i could as what written in this urbanspoon.. But its was the best diner i ever had afta a long time.. I seriously dont agree with people who write this kind of bad reviews and all fake about the staff and food.. I would recommand to go to SAZIO to have a delicious diner as this place can be the best place in melbourne as they provide food which made fresh...
Great local restaurant. We dined here tonight with a Cudo voucher and the food was amazing. Generous calamari and bread and dips for entree. The most tender osso buco ever with delicious mash and rocket, and fish, chips and salad for main. The chocolate mousse for dessert was possibly the tastiest I've ever had. I'm glad I didn't read reviews before I went as the meals were promptly delivered, the staff attentive and the food absolutely perfect, unlike what is reviewed here. Was an absolute bargain three course meal for two for $38. Will be looking out for the voucher again. Would be happy to come back without voucher just for the osso buco and mousse.
I had a great value meal on voucher. Each course was delicious! Especially the cheese cake:)
Voucher Great dinner. Went on a voucher and had dinner for 4 Service great, explained the limited choices so aware of extra cost, Everything was wonderful, Dinner tasty. Will go back its a local for us .
Amazing restaurant!!!. Came here with my boyfriend despite having read all the negative reviews also we did come here at the start of the year and it wasn't the best experience but we thought we'd give it another go. The staff were very friendly and happy and we were served very quickly, and started the night with calamari and the dips and they were amazing and it was a big portion of food! For our mains we ordered the lamb cutlets and the rib eye, although we waited a while for our mains it was a very busy night so we were okay with It, also if was worth the wait because the food was amazing!! Staff always made sure we were okay and happy which was good! We ended the night with the pyramid and the Chocolate moose which were to die for!! This restaurant was an amazing experience! We found out that the restaurant was under new management which would explain the great experience! Would definitely come back again!
Best eye fillet in a long time
Friendly staff and nice music
Good place to spend time with family or friends
Great experience. Enjoyed a lovely meal @ Sazio recently. Staff very pleasant & helpful. Great food too.
Good Food, friendly service. Had a lovely time at Sazio last Saturday, the food was great, very good sized portions. The restaurant has a very comfortable feel backed up by prompt service and friendly staff...
Great food and service!. I had a wonderful evening at Sazio on Sunday with my partner using groupon vouches. The food was authentic italian and beautifully presented.The calamari for entre was fresh and delish! I had the Osso Buco and I could really tell it was cooked well being of italian descent myself. Dessert was nice too.
Service was great despite it being very busy. The vouchers were a bit confusing at first but the staff made sure we understood what we could and couldn't have.
I will definitely take my family here for dinner in the new few weeks! Thanks Sazio
Birthday Dinner. Went to Sazio Restaurant in Black Rock last night for my partners birthday. The service was excellent, We had a great 3 course meal and good wine. We will go back there and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice relaxed restaurant with good food and great service.
Cheers
June
Not disappointed. Have eaten at Sazio on many occasions. Attentive staff and meals are always enjoyable. Will come back again
Worth visiting. Cozy interior, attentive staff, tasty Italian cuisine - everything you need to enjoy a nice evening with family or partner.
Tasty food accompanied by decent service. I use to dine in this restaurant nearly every week when it was called costa azzura before I moved to Brisbane in 1995 . After 18 long years I dined in this restaurant to conclude nothing has changed . Now place is called sazio but food and service is good as ever . I miss Melbourne at times , and miss this restaurant .
Yes I had a voucher. Friendly service. Good music, good stmosphere. But, what a limited menu for voucher holders, didn't stack up with the advertising. Meal O.k disappointed with the "homemade gnocchi". Will try again, and see what value I get for a full priced, full menu meal.
Great Food!. The staff is very friendly and helpful :-) the food is amongst the best italian i've ever had. thanks a lot SAZIO! i will surely be back soon :-)
Authentic Italian at its best. I would consider myself a fussy customer as I work in hospitality myself . Went to sazio's on sunday night . To start of with we were greeted by a friendly and confident server . On his recommendation I had Surf and turf . Steak was tender , juicy and cooked to perfection . I had a warm blackberry pudding as a sweet . Best dessert I have had in a long time .
I was extremely impressed and ended up tipping $40 to our server for looking after us .
Thumps up guys , well done
!!! AMAZING EXPERIENCE !!!. I must confess, this place is great dining place. I went to Sazio with my girlfriend last night with a voucher. Although the place was reasonably busy, yet there were no delays by the wait staff. The wait staff was very pro-active and professional. A lovely waitress poured my beer and then wine. Commenting on their pro-activeness again, they didn;t even let me touch the bottle. WOW- what a value for money. I was flabbergasted by the size of the meals. I could hardly fit in the three- course. But, I couldn't resist as it was so amazing. Ossobucco, was to die for. I would definitely be back. I live locally. SO, this place is great for me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
My Mrs. and I, went to Sazio for dinner last Friday. Like a few other people, we were also using an Internet promotional coupon. I found the place very vibrant and the staff very friendly. The food was exquisitely delicious. I reckon the reviews are a bit too harsh. I would definitely be back and would recommend friends and family as well.
Pleasantly surprised... We bought a coupon.. (like most it seems..)
Keen to have a nice Italian feed and enjoy a new restaurant where we'd never been. That morning we searched online to have a look at what people were saying.. It seems all bad. So, we arrived expecting not a great deal and were very pleasantly surprised. The service was great, the food fantastic. We were offered an upgrade on the coupon should we want it. ($18 off any main) Bruschetta was our choice for entree, it featured a basil pesto on toast topped with fresh tomato and red onion topped with parmasan cheese. Not trad but yum. Main, I had carbonara and husband had puttanesca. Both very happy. For dessert I had raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake, it was delicious and refreshing. Hubby had butterscotch mousse cake, it was rich and delicious but a bit odd texturally. But no need to complain.. We will go again for sure..
Very enjoyable, comfortable & relaxing. Good service, we weren't rushed at all. Meals were great & decent size.
Yeah the decor wasn't fantastic, the chairs were falling apart, but the food was delicious & that's what we were there for.
We dined on a Saturday night, with a coupon & the restaurant was packed. Pretty good sign that it's a great place.
Calamari was perfect, bruschetta yum & the pastas were beautiful!
Very impressed. Was very impressed with the Food, Service, and the atmosphere in the restaurant we had a voucher and the choices we had were very good will be going back again.
It is a lovely restuarant. Its clean, the staff are wonderful.We went there with our 5 year old and they were very happy, they even gave him crayons and coloring pictures and put it on the wall.
Food was good, brushetta, trevally and oreo cheese cake. Kids meal -pasta was a great size for kids, not over the top, and ice cream with chocolate topping!!! We used the scoopon voucher and we found the service very good! Will go again.
Excellent service. Went with 2 girlfriends of mine , food was divine and service was extemely prompt . not even once we had to ask for top up of our wine . wait staff was energetic and place was rocking with good vibes . will be back for sure .
Coupon deal - pastas are fantastic!. We went there with a table of 4, with coupon deals earlier in the year, fully knowing we were limited to what we could order under the coupon conditions which was fine - however quite reluctant to let us order something else and pay the difference. Bruschetta and dips were ok, not brilliant but the pastas were fantastic! I ordered a carbonara which was made more traditionally than most places - no cream! The ambience was lovely, staff were nice and accommodating
A good idea to use the coupon, we would definitely go back.
Went to sazio last night. Excellent service. Nice food - tasty and large serves. Would recommend the restaurant to friends
Nice food. It was busy for a Thursday night too. The osso bucco was cooked well and hubby had sazio chicken it was awesome. Pistacchio rice pudding was nice too.
I visited there with my gf .... I visited there with my gf
and it is very comfortable place
u should visit atleast once.....

Sazio - Very nice, comfortable restaurant and great seafood. Carole and I went here recently on a voucher, not really knowing what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a quite lovely suburban restaurant, very open plan and well fitted out. The staff were attentive and helpful with the menu choices and explaining what was available, etc.
The food was very good indeed, we both had calamari which was beautifully cooked and fresh. Served with a lemon and caper sauce it was delicious.
The mains arrived, with Carole having a meal based on tuna and penne pasta accompanied by a green side salad. She was very happy - it went down well. On the other hand, I enjoyed chilli prawns which were quite spicy but very, very nice. This was again accompanied by a green side salad which in both cases was well-dressed.
The deserts came off the blackboard, with Carole enjoying a Chocolate Heart. Now, if you go, just make sure you get a Chocolate Heart - they are fabulous and it was the highlight of the night. I enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake which was excellent eating although I felt Carole got the better of the deal.
The service was very attentive as I said above and did not leave anything to be desired. There is a good selection of wines and the white wine we enjoyed was very presentable.
Pricewise, it can be somewhat on the expensive side but I guess that goes with the area in which it is located. However, the quality is excellent and offsets the price.
In summary, well worth a visit, I can see us returning in the not too distant future.
Sazio is one of our favourite restaurants in Melbourne! The atmosphere is relaxing, the food is incredible and the waiting staff is super friendly and helpful! I highly recommend you to try their different wines too 🍷 !
My parents love this place. The food came out super fast. A real family restaurant in the suburbs
Such a great place!
From the moment you enter the restaurant you can tell this is owned and managed by people who are professional and want to take care of their customers.
The manager/owner is warm, welcoming and friendly and treats all customers as though they are family.
I have watched her train staff and she is very particular to ensure they understand and know how to offer great service.
The manager in particular has very high service standards.
To offer an example, I entered the other evening, early and, my glass of chardonnay was at the table, waiting for me, my place was also set.
I had not made a booking.
She saw me crossing the road and had already anticipated my needs, remembering what I like and how I like it.
The service here is of a very high standard, I love the food and the manager, and floor staff and team are all excellent!
10 stars from me, highly recommended.
What a wonderful, family friendly, authentic mediteranian restorant. Fantastic servise from lovely staff the manager really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. Incredible tasting food just like nonna makes
Family owned restaurant with great food and service.The scallops and calamari were very tasty and the eye fillet steak and the flounder were cooked perfectly.The desserts were delicious but way too big portions.Will visit again for sure.
Back to bayside after 12 years and we were so excited to come back to visit Sazio. New owners and a different but refreshing atmosphere. Lovely food, great friendly service from a young and enthusiastic team. The Marinara Bianca pasta is to die for. Perfectly cooked Al-dente with a delicious white wine sauce and fresh seafood. Pizza was very tasty as well. We can’t wait to come back.
Great food, kind and lovely staff. They looked after us very well. It was a 60th birthday very special.
A great experience. Long time between friend catch up. Couldn't have asked for nicer staff, cosy atmosphere and delicious food. Thanks for making a great night complete.
