Beautiful fresh ingredients!! I am visiting from the U.K. and happen to stumble across Di Casa for lunch. We were all blown away! From the delicious homemade dips to the incredible fresh made pasta and BLT sandwich on homemade bread. The chef and staff were so friendly and welcoming. I would happily recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Melbourne. Can’t wait to come back.

Authentic and individual is what we want ... can't go past thay in-house Fettucini ... thanks guys ... wonderful dining experience

Met a friend here who lives in the neighbourhood for a casual catch up and we had the best time here ! Firstly it is a new, neat and clean and they feature local artists on the walls, so it was a pleasure to come in and sit down. Also full floor to ceiling windows, so really light and bright. I happened to like the art work, so the whole thing really worked for me. I ordered virtually every entree (well, 3 out of 7 or 8) because we were just grazing and chatting and also because the offers looked and sounded delicious and a little different. Started with Crispy Grana Padano balls with dressed leaves - the balls were small, but they gave you 6 and they were rich and super delicious. The Trio of house made dips were outstanding, I am not a big eggplant fan, so they substituted that with homous - I am a big homous fan, and it was definitely in the really good category. They also included a beetroot dip, which was fresh, textured and really delicious also and the third dip was an unusual dip made of pulverised rocket in a light and fresh oil with a sprinkling of cheese on top - a little different, interesting and my number 3 choice behind the Beetroot and Homous. It was served with wonderful lightly toasted bread which was also good. The really outstanding dish was the Zucchini Carpaccio - thinly sliced, excellent zucchini in a light oil with the most fantastic cashew butter and something else I don't remember on top - it was definitely worth coming back for. We also ordered the chips, which were a mix of super fresh sweet potato and regular potato with a crispy kale through it as well - loved this, not too greasy and done to perfection. They make their own ice cream, but only had one flavour left, so we shared a scoop of really good coconut ice cream, as well as a Lemoncello Tiramisu - outstanding, homemade Lemoncello made into a tiramisu - highly, highly recommend ! This is a really open, friendly family type restaurant. As well as meeting Dion the chef, we met his mum, dad, girlfriend and then Nonna and the autie and uncle came in as we were leaving. Mum, Dad and the girlfriend work there and were just so friendly, warm and inviting, we were hooked before meeting Dion and the rest of the relatives. Definitely a place to come back to. The main courses looked wonderful, including Duck - one of my favourites and a couple of pastas that sound really interesting. They also have a beef and fish dish and couple of desserts we still want to try. Highly recommend the food, service and atmosphere and they stay open all day, starting with breakfast.
