Authentic Italian food in a cosy setting. All their pasta and gnocchi is hand made.
I had the Gnocchi Sorrentina and it was buonissimo ��Please don't take it off the menu! The young Italian staff are very friendly. One of the best places on Lygon Street.

Seasons Provedore is a small, cozy restaurant in the middle of the ever-popular Lygon street. Upon passing by, it’s hard to miss the impressive display of colorful, homemade pasta on their window. I’m happy to say these did not disappoint; in fact, this was my second visit!
Bruschetta: A classic appetizer done well. The tomatoes could have been sweeter, but I enjoyed the faint hint of garlic and butter on the bread mixed with the other ingredients.
Pappardelle alla Vongole: As one of the daily specials, it’s unfortunate this isn't on the regular menu. My biggest concern in ordering seafood pastas is that restaurants often only give a few pieces of seafood, but this wasn’t the case here. In addition to the mussels and clams that dotted the top of the pasta, more clams were found underneath as I dug in. The Napoli sauce was really flavorful and the pappardelle was lovely.
Marinara con Tagliolini al Nero di Seppia: We opted to have this with the extra virgin olive oil and white wine instead of the regular Napoli sauce since the pappardelle was also served with Napoli. I do not regret the decision. The milder taste made it possible to detect the squid ink in the pasta - something I was very impressed by. Given the subtlety of the squid ink, I’m not sure if it would come through with a stronger sauce like Napoli.
We came here accidentally on Valentine’s Day for my partners birthday. He loves Italian and we were disappointed. All the food we had was excellent. The gnocchi is fantastic so light. We will definitely be back. They were very busy, probably because of Valentine’s Day. They staff were really struggling. We never got to order dessert because they just wouldn’t take our orders but we’ll be back to try again on not so busy a night.
House made gnocchi was outstanding, service good despite a very busy New Year’s Eve crowd. Will definitely return!

This restaurant hand makes the gnocchi in the window and is so light and fluffy it just melts in your mouth. No feeling later of feeling sick and full and heavy in your tummy. I don't know how they do it! But to the chefs, please please please bring back the pumpkin gnocchi as it's probably the best dish you have and i hear it's only served now on special occasions. We love it and would love to see it come back on the menu! 😊 Aside from that the garlic bread is yummy, desserts beautiful, and staff friendly and very accommodating. A definite YES from me!
This would be the best Italian food we have ever eaten! Amazing food, excellent service! I cannot express how delicious the food was. We ordered both pizza, pasta and tiramisu. All were mouthwatering!
Prompt service and a lovely feel with the footpath seating. Cheesy garlic bread is to die for and the squid ink pasta was delicious. However, the pesto gnocchi was disappointing as it was most definitely not made as pesto should be. I have a suspicion that they blended basil with a lot of spinach to get that much green sauce, particularly as it was a bit bitter and didn’t have a strong basil and Parmesan taste. Sticking to a traditional recipe would be much appreciated so that the proper flavours can be appreciated. There were lots of pinenuts on top though which were nice! Overall a good place to check out though!
Crudo e Bufala - San Daniele prosciutto and creamy buffalo mozzarella, with toasted sourdough bread (10/10) Probs the best prosciutto ever!
Tagliatelle Napoli – Traditional italian tomato sauce, slow cooked - just like Mamma used to make - with onions, garlic and fresh basil (7/10) decently satisfied
Gnocchi Napoli – Served with our slow-cooked, home-style Napoli sauce (9/10) this was very rich and tasty! Portion looked small but it was so rich it was really filling
Seeing someone make pasta in front of you through a window is definitely hard to avoid , good by the restaurant to catch your attention and it definitely lured my partner and I to dine in. They set the bar quite high and so were our expectations. We ordered the bruschetta , spaghetti carbonara and gnocchi funghi porcini e pancetta. The food was brilliant , simple and rustic. Fresh homemade pasta does make the difference. Tad pricey and a bit under with the serving size but well worth for the experience. Waiters had charm , restaurant was cosy and was quite the romantic night. (Ate here about a couple months ago)
Refreshingly different from the stock standard Italian venues along Lygon Street. House made pasta, modern, open restaurant with a good buzz. We enjoyed the four cheese arrancini - delicious & light not stodgy, the ham & mushroom pizza & the prosciutto pea tagliatelle - which had a delicious white sauce without being too heavy. The service was friendly & attentive & they waived the p/holiday charge which was a pleasant surprise. Worth a visit !
The bad:
Not a fan of the Pizza crust.
The sauce in the mussels was also a bit too salty. The saffron seafood risotto was overcooked.
The good:
The gnocchi was really soft and it grows on you.
The Bolognese was alright.
The Risotto balls was amazing!!
Cheesy garlic bread was also really good.
I still thought it was a pleasant experience because of the waitress! She was alone serving many tables but still had such a pleasantness and a big smile. She made us feel really welcome even as a group of six.
Picked this place at random and I was not disappointed! The gnocchi was honestly the best I’ve ever had. It was literally like butter and oh so delicious. The chef was making it out by a window that faces the street, so it was nice seeing her in action.
Favourite Italian spot on Lygon! Hands down the softest and creamiest Gnocchi you'll ever have. It melts in your mouth and the sauce tastes like how my nonna would make it.
Highly recommend this place (bonus points for the friendly waitress as well!)
Top top notch gnocchi and pizza, penne less satisfying (one of our group is allergic to eggs).
We dream of their gnocchi every time we come to Melbourne.
We have dined here a couple of times & food is always great. We had Gnocchi with porcini mushrooms & Diavola pizza. Gnocchi melts in your mouth & has amazing flavours. The pizza was also good, nice thin base & plenty of topping.
Delicious homemade pasta! Arancini balls are huge and super yummy ! Love their cheesy garlic bread! Cosy dinning and friendly waitresses.
Try the gnocchi! It melts in your mouth and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients used - definitely worth visiting this little spot for great Italian food :) extra points that the staff is always friendly too
