I know Luca from long time he is a young entrepreneur, very passionate and ambitious he always shined in anything he did.
Luca and Sofia are a rocking couple in fact Mandala is managed with love, the secret ingredient of any successful business!
The food is amazing, Cristian the chef � is always looking for the best products. He combines the experiences acquired from Italian traditional food with the exotic ones learned while traveling, the food is mouthwatering and each plate looks like a fresh painted canvas.
The location is breathtaking!!
Highly recommend to visit them!
Had my birthday lunch, love the food great service. I had the best time ever. I’ll go there anytime I get the chance. Thank you guys for great day. ��
We had wagyu steak and special for the day crumbed duck breast. Really enjoyed the meal. Flavour and textures are well balanced.
We popped in to Divino Ristorante for lunch as part of a wine tour and were really happy with everything. Staff were friendly, food was hot and came out fast considering the large group setting. We ordered a pizza and pasta and shared them… because how can you not have a little bit of both :) Food and wine were delicious. Really lovely little wine farm. Will be back when we’re in the Yarra Valley again.
The best pizza I ever had!! Seriously! :)
Took a lovely Sunday drive to the Yarra Valley looking for what other than good wine and good food and ended up at Mandala Wines.

As you walk in to your right hand side you will find the tasting room; if you continue straight it will lead you to the restaurant which is open and bright.

RATING (4/5): 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Overal this restaurant is a lovely stop amongst the abundance. The food was delightful, the Arancini a clear winner for us. The wine was just right! Would like to visit again
Nice and relaxing Sunday lunch setting.
Nothing that wowed me. Food was decent and good service as well.
Won’t be rushing back though but it was a nice experience
Amazing food. Ordered the gnocchi with duck and wagyu skirt steak. Gnocchi was a very generous serve, light and served with a lovely rich duck ragout. Wagyu was ordered medium and was delivered perfect, very tender and full of flavour. We shared a dessert off the specials menu which was a chocolate tart, OMG it was wicked, coffee was excellent too. Only thing we could fault was the greeting, we arrived on the dot of midday and were left standing around as all staff seemed busy with their tasks. Would have lovely to have been greeted by a front of house person. We will definitely be back
This place beautiful. We came here for our anniversary and we enjoyed every single bites. Our steak is stunning accompanied with a fresh salad. Dessert is amazing! If you stay in Yarra Valley, this is recommended!
Excellent venue, modern and elegant. Great food (on the expensive side) and service. Good wines. We had a problem with the bathroom, which has being resolved. We will be back.
Yum food and very friendly staff. The cellar door is definitely worth a visit as well - we tried the entire tasting wine menu and picked our favorite :-)))
Very tasty food and friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere and perfect for a relaxing afternoon. We got eye fillet, eggplants and seafood pizza, all taste amazing . We will definitely come back again next time.
Always nice dining experience with restaurants in wineries, especially this one. Even though the portion of the dishes are not as big as we expected but the flavor as well as the freshness of the ingredients are all magnificent. Nice place to enjoy few drinks and dining in with friends and family!
We had 20 people there and they all said it was fantastic. Sophia and the staff were very helpful and were not focused on up selling but instead good old fashioned service with a smile. It was nothing short of fantastic. I'll be back.
Such a lovely place to have lunch. Great food and great service.
This is one fantastic restaurant producing great Italian food with service to match.
Really enjoyed the wood fired Focaccia, the base was perfect, crusty and so much taste. Also had the Saffron Arancini to start with, they were so good, light and fluffy, perfect!
For main, we had the Eye Fillet, it melted in the mouth, perfectly cooked and a good quality piece of meat
Also, we had the Crab Risotto, was exceptional
Tried a few Mandala wines as well, really liked the Chardonnay and the Pinot Noir
Definitely will be back to try some of the other options available on the menu.
Beautiful sunny day so we had booked a table outside which was a great choice. Views were lovely and inside was SO noisy with echos like a train station that it would have ruined our experience.
Staff were professional and friendly, with a special shout out to Scott who went over and above.
Food was tasty and well presented. Enjoyable experience
Strongly recommend the "Let Us Feed You" selection on the Menu (great value). Food and presentation amazing. Service and ambiance excellent. What better way to spend a Winters day with friends in the Yarra Valley, with a glass or two also!
Cheers.

My partner and I dined at Divino last Thursday for lunch. We were the only people in the restaurant as we had an early reservation and was seated on a corner table with lovely views. Our server was lovely and attended to us when we needed it- she was not pushy and allowed us privacy which we appreciated as we don't like to be constantly asked if everything is okay. We didn't order much but was impressed with what we did. The pate was generous and while not silky the taste was still great. The cured salmon was also really good with a great balance of acidity, though I wish there was more dill flavour. The prawn pizza was our highlight- woodfired with a great tomato base and cheese. My partner even ate the zucchini which he normally doesn't like! They also provided chilli oil which actually had heat to it unlike other places which just taste like olive oil. Along with our lunch we had the Mandala wine tasting and Italian wine tasting-a great selection and nice change up and comparison. Mandala's fume blanc was out favourite, and we prefer red wine! All in all a great experience and will definitely come back for more of their menu next time we're in the Yarra.
Had an amazing lunch with my husband yesterday ( May 5, 2022) at Divino Restaurante at Mandala. Its our second time there but we both feel that the second time was definitely better than the first time. We opted for the "The Feed Me option". Lets just say we were stuffed!! I had to takeaway one of the dessert ( Canoli) The tiramisu was smooth, delicious and just perfect. Definitely be back to this place again. My sister and her parents in law are arriving in two weeks time from Barcelona and will be taking them to this place for sure.
