An Italian feast awaits this spring at Grand Hyatt Melbourne’s award-winning restaurant, Collins Kitchen, with Melbourne’s legendary pizza institution, Ladro, returning for a three-month residency.
Taking up residency until Thursday, 28 November 2019, the specially curated menu on offer is a creative collaboration between the Ladro and Collins Kitchen culinary teams and features authentic Italian cuisine made from the freshest locally sourced produce.
Along with the classic wood-fire pizza flavours that first put Ladro on the map, guests can also indulge in some authentic and moreish Italian dishes.
We loved the dish of pumpkin ravioli with burnt butter, made daily in-house. It was absolutely stunning. For something heartier the Wood-roasted spring chicken is like a hug from nonna. Full of flavour and served with rich napoli, garlic, olives and basil.
The Lamb tomahawk was similarly delicious. Cooked to absolute perfection and served with crushed green peas, fresh mint, goat’s curd and a slice of lemon.
A visit to “Ladro Checks In” would of course be incomplete without one of their amazing pizzas. We fell in love with the porcini e gorgonzola pizza . Wonderfully thin and light pizza base was slathered with Fior di latte, gorgonzola, porcini mushrooms, pangrattato, basil and parsley. Simply amazing!
Keeping true to its reputation for indulgent desserts, Collins Kitchen’s famous dessert station will also be turned into a decadent “La Gelateria” bar. Expect mouth-watering desserts including Sicilian cannoli, bomboloni Italian donuts, tiramisu and our personal favourite, Baked lemon ricotta cheese cake.
A beautiful little pocket restaurant, very friendly and vibrant staff, food was beautiful and well presented. The restaurant is beautifully lit just enough, located well on the main road.
A cool and cozy Italian restaurant located on lively Gertrude St. Great food and ambience, love the seating overlooking the street - worth and checking out. Will need to come back for Brunch!
We are glad to have finally paid a visit to this true Melbourne icon. For more than 15 years, Ladro has offered Melbournians an authentic taste of Italy with their impeccable Roman pizzas and indulgent classical desserts.
Today, they are celebrating their 15th birthday by popping up at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne.
Friends booked this place because they always come here. Walked in to a old school styled interior. Very nice and cozy feeling. We ordered a bottle of white wine, so refreshing on a hot day!
Pizza was thin crust which is to my like I wasn't the one placing the order but I think we had the anchovy one and a vego tomato based one. Salad was lovely as well. Ordered the doughnut for dessert. Probably need to go to gym now to work it off. Service was attentive and friendly.

We really felt like pizza before going to see some live music.
We had parked our car on Greville Street and Ladbro was the first pizzeria we saw.
We were seated straight away - outside. It was a great Melbourne day/night so more than happy to be seated here.
We received menus almost immediately and our drinks & entrees were very prompt. The waiter taking our order however, could have been abit more lively... Made no attempt to make conversation or even smile!
Our pizzas took alittle longer than expected - however the resturant was crowded and also food delivery drivers were in & out picking up food.
Overall; i would return the food was great and it had to be the best chinotto i have ever had!
A good place for good thin crust pizzas with very compact seating. This place offers gluten free and normal pizzas with delicious toppings that won't make you feel heavy.
We enjoyed our tasty Porcini and Gorgonzola and Pescatore seafood pizzas, which came in a 6-slice portion size. The thin, crispy base doesn't detract from the flavours, a job well done.
They brought out the pizzas unsliced with a pizza cutter. We were puzzled whether this is supposed to add to the experience but suffice it to say neither of us will earn a living from our pizza cutting skills. They offered us a second cutter but I'm sure it's the user not the tool that will speed up the process.
Friendly and efficient service in a simple, modern and functional space, Ladro is worth checking out in this competitive neighborhood.
Love sitting in windows facing the street! The polenta chips and the salad with peas were my favourites. The pizza was outstanding. A sip on a chinotto. Great service

Had a lovely Saturday night dinner at Ladro this weekend. Booked in advance a table for two. We were seated at a well sized table at the back of the restaurant by our friendly waitress.
Not feeling like pizza, Mr B and I ordered a couple of entrees and a couple of mains to fill us up for the night. For starters we went for the Polenta Chips and the Salumi Board. The polenta chips were creamy and tasty. The salumi board was ok. The meats on offer were nothing too fancy, and maybe a little bland. For main Mr B ordered the Lamb Ragu Gnocchi and I had the Lemon & Pea Risotto with Green Tea seasoned Scallops. The gnocchi was silky and melted in your mouth. the lamb cooked beautifully and the tomato sauce rich and vibrant. My risotto was the highlight of the night, with a beautiful scallop texture and flavour, paired with the fresh zestiness of the risotto. Very enjoyable.
Overall the experience was lovely. The food was good and completely enjoyable. Next time I need to try the pizzas! The restaurant vibe was busy, but relaxed and the service prompt and friendly. Recommended for a family function.
Yum! The prawn on my fettuccine pasta was the freshest Iv ever eaten. The pizza: delicious! The salad yum. Great ambiance and Fantastic service. We really enjoyed ourselves
Literally one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Honestly reminded me of my childhood visiting family in Italy. Authentic, delicious and reasonably priced. CAN’T WAIT TO COME BACK
Best gluten free pizza base we have ever had! It looked so much like the wheat base that I had to call and double check (we have a coeliac in the house). The pizza was so yummy. 10/10! Thank you so much.
Lauro is still serving great food 2 years on (updated review). Everything was tasty and served quickly. The gnocchi was light, the dish was full of flavour - great comfort food for a cold night. The desserts are simple but taste great. The wine selection is a bit limited but the selection is still great.
Staff and food were both immaculate 👏 loved every minute and bite, worth every penny !!
Great food. Pizzas were beautiful, pasta really good but not overly big, deserts amazing. Good service too.
Enjoyable Italian ...
Exceptional service
