If there was an option for 6 stars I definitely would use it for this place . What a wonderful authentic Italian restaurant, beautiful relaxing atmosphere, extensive menu and amazing food . Very attentive service .... nothing was too much trouble for the staff and I'm one of those difficult customers that wants pasta polo fungi without mushrooms .
This is the kind of place that once words spreads, you will struggle to get a table without booking a week in advance. Highly recommended will certainly be going back again shortly
Fantastic food & pleasant atmosphere. Went for meal midweek with my wife & daughter for a nice Italian meal. We had hand made crab tortellini, clams, mussels, white wine, cherry tomatoes & herbs. It melted in my mouthđ & hand rolled Campanella pasta, porcine mushrooms, white wine truffle emulsion, spinach, pine nuts & grana padana. Finished the night with coffee & shared a yummy creme brĂ»lĂ©e with a night cap of limoncello. Stylish stained wooden paneling decor accompanied with great Italiano chillout music. Waiting staff very pleasant. Couldn't ask for a better night. Restaurant is good value for moneyđ Will return with friends again to sample other interesting menu items.

Great food and atmosphere
If it's anything like Botticelli of Brighton, it's gonna be amazing!
Amazing food and service and atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.
The service is great, the boss is really friendly and I feel welcome!
Very comfortable tables and I really enjoy my meal.
The handmade pasta is delicious and full of favour!
Our new favourite restaurant in bayside. I had the fillet steak with red wine jus which was cooked to perfection and the sauce was so full of flavour. My partner had the twice cooked duck with orange sauce, the most tender and flavoursome duck he has ever had. We shared a cassata, also delicious, and left very happy. The meals were a very good size. Well worth paying a little extra for such a delicious meal in a lovely ambience and outstanding service. Also a very good selection of wines international and local, and cocktails. We'll be back... very soon.
I love this place
Been their a few times and never disappoints
I had the pappadelle cream e funghi last week was amazing
Tried the pizza also was pretty good
Service is fantastic
Thank you will be back again
Walked in on a busy Friday evening when they had some live music and felt like we were lucky to get a table. Service was extremely friendly & attentive and the food was delicious. We had the hand made ravioli, a pizza, sorbet & some chocolate cigar pastry. All was very, very good. The pizza was also done on a gluten free base which was surprisingly very good also - I feel these are even freshly made. Thumbs up to this joint.
I walked in and the restaurant was packed. Service was a bit patchy but the waiters were friendly and did their best. The food was really good. Delicious Italian style pizzas and home made pasta. I really enjoyed my parpadelle veal ragout. The fish and chips also looked good. Prices were fair as well.

Via campanella is an amazing Italian restaurant with such a great atmosphere. We went there on Friday night and there was live music, which was quite relaxing. We had the spaghetti marinara with tomato base and the rib eye steak. Everything was really good and we enjoyed it. The mussels in the marinara tasted a little weird for us, otherwise everything else was perfect.
Great ambience and super friendly staff, food was delicious! A great selection of wine and authentic Italian food, would go again! Ravioli was fresh and tasty!
Really awesome local Italian. So much fun to eat here. I had the whole sole and it came with salmon and vegitables. Also had a lovely glass of wine and also a lemonchello. The pasta my friend had was huge. Thoroughly recommend.

The restaurant has recently been refurbished and the new decor adds warmth and character. I love the addition of the Italian musicians. The meals are high quality and priced accordingly. I love the homemade pastas, however the serving is not as generous as I would like. The pizzas are more than enough for one. The staff are friendly but often seem frantic. Always book ahead.
Such a stunning venue, so authentically Italian. Service was impeccable and the fish dishes are divine! My rockling dish was cooked to perfection. Very lucky to have this place as a local- always feels like we're away in the centre of Rome when we visit. Will be back again and again!

Beautifully designed restaurant makes this place feel deliciously authentic!! I was concerned with another italian joint opening in the area, but this place holds its own. Its on the higher end price wise but the menu with leave u pleasantly satisfied. The owners/chefs have made sure all the classics have been included as well as some welcome additions.
Down to specifics, we ordered the mozzarella and herb pizza to start, the base was excellent!! Thin and crisp on the crust with a hint of chewyness. We also ordered the buffalo bruchetta, this was pleasant but would have benefited from some fresh chopped basil, a thinner crustini and salt and pepper. For mains we had the ribeye steak with mushroom sauce. Overall thumbs up for this one. What would take it to the next level would be some char marks to bring out the meats flavour. The mushroom sauce was also a touch on the watery side. We had mixed reviews on the potatoe parma side. One loved it, the other said it was too stodgy. I had the marinara which was also great!! A fresh and generous seafood pasta portion. To take it to the next level it would need slightly more tomato for acidity, less salt and oil. Otherwise delciouso!! The eggplant parma was lovely, one more layer of eggplant and fresh basil would take this dish to the next level.
For desserts we had the Bailey's creme burlee. This was handsdown perfecto!! The tiramisu requires a little work, the biscuit was half oversoaked the rest dry. The coffee soak was a little too watery. The nutella pizza needed the most work. We ordered it because we thought it would be the same base as the pizza. However it was too doughy as they doubled it over more like a calzone. Leave it like a pizza with the berries and ice cream in the centre and it will be a hit!!
Service was good but the waiters need to be more organised, designated sections would make things easier for them.
Overall fantastic night and will visit again definitely.
Just ate there tonight and so impressed. Finally some nice fine dining in Elsternwick. Specials are very worthwhile and Baileys brûlée was divine. We will be back.
We had a lovely dinner here the food and service were fantastic ... lemon veal highest of quality and pizza was great also - glad to have a better local Italian on the strip
You are welcomed by a very warm and friendly staff into a very beautiful, elegant and well styled restaurant. Everything about this place is welcoming. A perfect Italian ambience with wall paintings and photographs, well chosen and comfortable furniture.
The food is really good. They are even happy to mix and match the pasta with other options on the menu. I have been there over 3 times in the past couple of weeks and I will certainly go back soon. The food is really good, be it gnocchi, spaghetti or risotto.
Ideal for family dinners or a casual catch up.
A great Italian restaurant-the name has changed and it has been refurbished. The staff and service were excellent as was the food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Awesome new Italian resto opened its doors in Elsternwick - great ambience, scrumptious food, top service, attention to detail and worth every penny. If you appreciate culinary art Italian style and personal service- itâs a must try!
Wow! Simply wonderful. Fabulous old school service, authentic delicious Italian fare, and ambience to boot. Outstanding value And true attention to detail. L O V E this restaurant! Go. Enjoy!
Great cuisine and service from this restaurant everytime I dine here. Always happy to cater to my dietary requirements. A great ambiance for endless conversations to enjoy a meal, dessert, coffee or drinks.
