Amazing food amazing staff I recommend everyone going down and trying the food at rubicon, whatever you pick on the menu you will enjoy 100% ��
Wow. Well done to all staff. All food was a 10/10. It will be our new hang out every week. Loved it. Thank you.
Heaven!
We loved it here! It’s easy to get to, as its very close to Essendon train station and with plenty of parking available.
Food was DIVINE. We loved the arancini and bruschetta for entrees, and the grilled calamari was cooked to perfection.
My main was the fish of the day, and was just delicious. Lots of flavours and the potato mash was to-die-for. The pumpkin gnocchi literally melted in your mouth. We had to take some of it home, as it was much too good to leave behind.
Staff are friendly and the food was served quickly and cooked to perfection. Big fan of the espresso martini’s here!
A beautiful dinner. The pics speak for themselves!
The staff attentiveness and friendliness were on point. I had a calamari salad and it was divine! My friends presto gnocchi and side salad were also fab. Highly recommend. Good atmosphere, great food and great service. What else does one need?
I always come here every Friday to enjoy the food and music. Especially the food I believe they do the best Italian around this area. I would highly recommended this place for anyone coming to Essendon
I found the Rubicon Bar on Instagram and decided to take a friend to tag along. The food was good, the only thing I found was a few of the dishes were a little repetitive for example we had Arancini balls for entree and they had this mustardy yellow sauce on it and I ordered Chicken for main and it had the same yellow sauce. My favourite part was dessert which was the 'Nutella Snake' Yum!.

Pub food done right! Really impressed with the presentation, cleanliness care and attention to detail with this venue would recommend to all to check it out if you’re searching for Italian, pub food in the area
To me, staff can make or break a restaurant, and at Rubicon the staff are so welcoming and attentive. For Entrees we had the calamari, a bruschetta focaccia, Nona’s arancini and crispy cheese. I can not fault them, honestly was tempted to order them for mains as well. For Mains we had four Woodfired pizzas- Marinara, capricciosa, prosciutto and ortolana. My favourite were the Marinara and Prosciutto both were flavoursome but not offensively strong. The food was beautiful, the staff were amazing and the place was modern, with a cozy feel.
Walk past this joint and thought we'll give it a try with no expectation but it was unexpectedly good compared to the rest of the italian restaurant.
Food is fantastic, service is good and staffs are friendly
Great place to go for a hearty and tasty bowl of pasta or a parma.
All elements on the plate are clearly prepared with quality in mind, e.g. salad with parma always has fresh leaves and doesn't look like it's been around for days.
Quick and friendly service with staff so nice and accomodating especially with the kids!
Our group of 20 had a birthday celebration at Rubicon. The staff were very attentive & efficient, cutlery was replaced in between courses & when our meals were delivered the staff remembered which meal went where. The food was delicious & very satisfying. The owner came by to ask if we were happy with the evening, he even gifted the birthday girl with a bottle of wine. We bought in a birthday cake for dessert & there was no additional cake charge, & great coffee topped off our evening. Highly recommended!
Credit to the staff there today. We went there for an Easter Sunday lunch and the kitchen and wait staff coped well with a fully booked place.
The meal servings are quite generous and full of flavour. From the pizza, calamari and rib amazing ribs that just fell off the bone! it was all quite nice.
A call out to the young man with the mostache - it's good that you can have banter with the guests it's makes the day enjoyable
