Sensational food and service, I had my first visit almost two years ago and thought it was fantastic then.. well everything has only improved. I cannot recommend this place enough, thank you for providing delicious food and 10/10 customer service.

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.
Had an early dinner after the football. 2 x Adults and 2 x Kids. Had beautiful options for all of us. Had Garlic bread, Arancini balls, Purple Gnocchi and Gnocchi Bolognaise. All of it....amazing, perfectly prepared, legitimate freshly prepared, and very authentic. I've been dining in Lygon St for 20+ years, and this was the best Gnocchi I've had, period! Service was spot on, polite, adaptable, helpful and nothing too hard. Well done guys, we'll be back!
One can quite easily walk past this restaurant. Apart from the gnocchi that melt in the mouth, fresh hand made pasta, garlic bread and yummy desert, the smiling eyes of the waiters, waitress and the pasta maker standing near the window created a welcoming ambience. We were not just another reservation. Many onlookers and inquisitive children looking in and being in awe of the fresh pasta being rolled. Simplicity at its best.
The food was fresh and delicious, with great wines to match 🍷The staff very welcoming 😀Highly recommend you visit...
Delicious food every time we visit. Pasta made on premises is to die for. Service staff are always genuinely welcoming & friendly.
We'll be back soon.
Travelling from the Barossa we love Lygon Street in Melbourne for the food...and we were wholeheartedly not disappointed. Every tasty morsel from the sourdough garlic bread, the specials of pappardelle with prawns and pesto, the buttery smooth purple potato gnocchi with pumpkin, to the dessert of tiramisu and panacotta.....was to say outstandingly delicious. But the favourite part was the greeting from Fernando, the owner at the door introducing us to the home-handmade delights, the wink from the chef preparing the fresh gnocchi and the Italian rendition of Happy Birthday from the waiters Christina, Eduardo and Francesco. Their enthusiasm, chatter and laughter was well received. A truly beautiful authentic experience which made us feel at home. Thank you for helping me...us, celebrate my birthday, memorably �

Great home made pasta with marinará was so yummy. Desserts was to die for. Myself and hubby are European so we know good food. Could not fault food or service. Thank you. Will definitely come again.
The food... 6 star � the staff and customer service 10 star �
Well done to all that work here!! What a wonderful experience it was eating in your restaurant �
Amazing aronchini and pasta. Love watching them make it in the window. Friendly and prompt service. The same excellent establishment we visited 3yrs ago, never fails to impress!

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!
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 !
We had heard from other reviews that this Italian in Lygon st was nice so we decided to check it out. The gnocchi was AMAZING! Best we’ve ever had and we’ve traveled round the world. We tried it with a couple of sauces, delicious. Highly recommended! I will never forget this gnocchi, melts in your mouth.
Had the most amazing Gnocchi Four Cheese. This was hands the best gnocchi I have ever eaten in my life!
It was on the specials menu, but just ask them to make it for you. You will not be disappointed.
Went here for a quick bite after seeing the offer in EatClub. It doesn’t disappoint, we were very happy with the dishes: spaghetti carbonara, gnocchi sorrentina and marinara pasta. Really enjoy it.
Decent authentic Italian and reasonably priced too. I love that the pasta is homemade and the staff is always lovely.
Had a few pasta dishes of their menu and liked all of them even though not outstanding.

I’ve come back here 5+ times because they have the best carbonara in Melbourne. It is also a nice touch seeing the pasta be made in the window. In summer it is a lovely place to sit on lygon and eat the best it has to offer.
It's hard for an Italian to find an authentic place, and Seasons Provedore didn't disappointed me. I had the best time there and food was awesome! They have an amazing chef and floor staff is very friendly too.. Highly recommended!!! ;) authentic Italian's honor.
the pasta itself was to die for although the sauce was a bit underwhelming (only got 3 pieces of mushroom!?)
also was a bit confused about the cold tough bread that came out with the mains without any butter to accompany it?
4 stars for the fresh soft pasta alone although definitely some things could be improved
Chose to eat here last night after walking up and down looking for something good. The hand-made pasta in the window caught my groups eye and we weren't disappointed. Everything was fresh. Gnocchi was soft and pillowy, pasta was al dente. Sauces had depth of flavor and texture. Drinks were a little slow coming out and the service was not amazing, but the food came out very fast.
The wine list is decent, I scanned and opted for the Chianti Classico which showed the usual dried herb and game with smooth, well balanced tannin and acid. Exactly what i was looking for...very nice.
Seasons Provedore was a good experience for us and the price was right.
Tried the marinara special and the carbonara during lunch.
Waitress was attentive and very polite and friendly.
I was left stunned with the carbonara sauce as it was creamy and very flavourful. As expected from an authentic italian restaurant.
The handmade pasta really made a difference with the marinara sauce as it was light and tasty. If only they used fresh seafood it would really up their game.
This is a restaurant amongst a lot more on Lygon Street but has become one of my favourites.
Recommend trying it out!
Love this place! I am amazed by the gnocchi made of purple potato. The food is delicious. Squid ink spaghetti is a must have as well. Will definitely come back
Authentic hand made purple gnocchi made with purple potato! We tried squid ink spaghetti marinara, it is a must have. Awesome place. Kids love the arichini.
Honestly the most delicious pizza and pasta i have tried!! The quality of the handmade noodles were way beyond my expectations, and i am looking forward to my return to melbourne next year for a re-dining at this amazing hidden goldspot. Wanted to give the chef way more compliment but words were just not enough lol. The taste of that yumm bread and cheese and sauce... lingering in me still to this moment haha. Highly recommended;)
Amazing best italian food ive ever had. I highly recommend the vegetariana(?) pizza and the marinara spaghetti and the tiramisu. There coffee was also amazing! Service was exceptional as well. Will miss this restaurant for sure please open one in Sydney
The gnocchi here is great! I've been here 5 or more times and you can't go wrong with the gnocchi.
The portions are a little small and it's quite expensive.
Parmas aren't very good at all.
The outdoor eating area is really nice. Good ambience, warm in winter and cozy.
Food: We ordered the Gnocchi Pesto and the Gnocchi Napoli. The gnocchi was delightfully soft and pillowy. (Some may prefer a firmer bite to their gnocchi, but I personally don't mind, so long as the flavours are good.) The pesto was delicious but quite salty. The napoli sauce was perfect. When the pasta is brought to your table, the server will also ask if you want some freshly grated Parmesan, definitely say yes!
Price: Reasonable pricing for the portion served, and also the fact that the pasta is homemade and not just out of a box!
Ambience & Service: The restaurant is very small but homely, reminiscent of restaurants you go to in little European alleyways. We came without a booking (for dinner) but luckily there was one table left. Although we sat outside, it wasn't cold because we were next to the outdoor heaters. The waiters that served us were very friendly, humorous and chatty.
All in all, a wonderful evening and the Italian food is simplicity at its best.
Excellent place if your up for some awesome home made pasta. You can't beat home made pasta!! I had the gnocchi and it was very tasty and light. Service was also very good, would definitely go back and try something different next time it all looked very appetising 😊👌
Best gnocchi in Melbourne, in our opinion. Fresh handmade pasta along with excellent service. It's located among many Italian restaurants along busy Lygon St, but this one is worth stopping at.
This small space in the heart of logon, offers excellent pasta & gnocchi hand made each day. The service is friendly with a hint of typical Italian, that goes well considering how some establishments on lygon insist on annoying people with spruikers. We arrived without a booking but we're accommodated after only a short wait. We shared a gnocchi, followed by carbonara and pizza with a rocket salad. The pizza I must say was the least favorite dish as there's better on lygon, however the rest of the dishes were delicious. The wine we chose, they have a small selection of local and Italian wines, was a perfect accompaniment to the meal. I'm looking forward to out next visit.
Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. Probably the best restaurant I've been to. The food was all great without exception, the serves were generous but not ridiculous, the waiter didn't need a notepad and memorised our (four-person, muli-course) order perfectly and effortlessly, the service was fast and getting a waiter's attention was effortless (and we were seated outside), the outside heaters worked terrifically, and there was a consistent Italian atmosphere complete with Italian-accented staff.

We celebrated mothers day dinner tonight, we were book for 7pm but the table still not available so we have to wait for few minutes, Lorenzo one of the staff is very nice and apologetic that we have to wait, he offer us a free coffee and hot chocolates. The pasta & pizza was good even the lazana, the portion is just enough, no leftover to waste. we will come back and will recommend this place to friends and family.
The best thing with Seasons is that they make their own pasta. This is good Italian fare. It isn't fancy but it is tasty which is what counts. I love the gnocchi
Authentic flavours, attentive service and reasonably priced. The tiramisu was one of the best we've had & limoncello was delicious. The fresh pasta and cute waiters make Seasons Provedore a must. We are looking forward to our next visit as the pasta is unforgettable 😋
Excellent seafood supper.
Home made tasty tomato broth w plenty of seafood.
Fresh made pasta available.
V authentic Italian good.
Better than in Milan!!?
Gelato place next door =v convenient!
Loved the fresh in-house made pasta. My husband and I both had the seafood marinara, one with squid ink fettuccini - divine. The kids were catered for with classic carbonara, an adults meal that the staff happily split between the 2 kids. The chef even kindly offered to show our eldest how to make the gnocchi she was watching him make in the shop window. Genuine and authentic Italian hospitality.
Was a brilliant experience, the food and service was exceptional. I can't wait to come back again and I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends
Hand made gnocchi!!!!! Treated well and had a great feel overall. Had the bruschetta and gnocchi with sage. Definitely would come back 👍👍👍
The food is nice and tasty ordered the bolognese , lasagne and the rice ball , totally awesome . And the price is reasonable 2 person around 55 + . Just only something need to improved , the waiter while take order seem like not intend to served service order .
Delicious! Their homemade gnocchi was creamy and very tasty! Service was friendly and complimentary bread accompanying the pastas was a bonus. Loved watching the guy rolling out fresh pasta.
Stopped in for lunch with wife and 2 kids. The staff were friendly and the restaurant/location is very good. The menu is quite good with a good variety of Italian food, wine and beer.
The service was attentive although the specials were not conveyed to us. Also they forgot to bring our childs meal. We sat waiting and then started to eat. Got third the way through our meals and then asked. It seems forgotten. We all finished before the last meal was served. Pretty sloppy really given the level of enthusiasm shown trying to get us to eat there in the first place. We got an apology. Our meals, carbonara, gnocchi napoli and mushroom tortellini were all satisfactory. Mine was served coolish though.
Wouldnt recommend this place. There are probably better options along the Lygon street strip.
I've eaten here twice, the first time was fabulous but the second time average, but I would still recommend them as one of the better Italian restaurants along lygon st. On the visit that was fabulous, I tried the fresh pasta, that is made in store and within view. Definitely recommend! On the very average visit, I had a margarita pizza, which was very doughy and not to my tastes. So definitely stick with the pastas as that seems to be their speciality. Also they have good weekday lunch specials!
Mmmm purple nocci! Good service, great setting. Good lunch date and a treat for the little ones .......................................,,,...
What a beautiful restaurant, feels so authentic, love the pasta in the fridges ! We just adored it. In agreeance with everyone who has had the pumpkin gnocci, superb and even the garlic bread is yum! The service was outstanding and Foodie mate that I dined with could converse with the waiter in Italian, nice touch! Would definately return to try more of the menu.

I've been meaning to try a main meal at this family owned restaurant for such a long time and today was the day!! And I'm so glad that I did!! :) There is just absolutely nothing that I could fault whatsoever. Service is top-notch brilliant - the waiter and waitress complemented each other perfectly and were able to attend to all clientele throughout the restaurant with ease, whilst also introducing passers-by to the restaurant in typical Lygon Street fashion, without being overly-pushy like some other restaurants can be in the area - major kudos!! :)
The gnocchi that was recommended today was absolutely divine and I highly endorse it (served with pumpkin and Gorgonzola) - I was hooked from the first mouthful which just melted away without even chewing!! Quality ingredients are flavoursome throughout - love and attention shines through. The pasta is hand-made on the premises by a friendly gentleman who's been in the business for years - you'll see him happily working away in the window at the restaurant whilst you're there - don't be afraid to wave and say hi - he also makes an awesome coffee!! :)
Well regarded by TripAdvisor and many other awards, I'm amazed that this restaurant rates at a lowly 3.8 on Zomato - should be in the high 4's at the very least - do yourself a favour and sample their wares, you will not be disappointed at all. Can't wait to try their pizzas next, which look amazing too - the gentleman sitting next to me was having one and was loving every bit of it!! :)
Both the food and service were wonderful. Food was cooked perfectly, tasted amazing and looked beautiful while our waitress and all staff were very friendly and offered exceptional service. I will make a point of dining here whenever I visit Melbourne.
Nice food. The home-made pasta was very tasty. The gnocchi was so soft and fluffy. Great friendly service as well. Very accomodating. Would definitely come back.
This tiny restaurant services great pasta made on the premises and served with love and understanding that takes you to the heart of Italian cuisine in Melbourne. Great friendly service and a kitchen that clearly cares about what comes out.
A little pricey but great service and all pasta and pizza is fresh and home made, thoroughly enjoyed it and would go back. I had the 4 stagioni and loved it
Walking past the first thing that seized my attention is the chef creating his pastas! Yes you can a rally watch him handcraft these tantalising tagliatelle and spaghettis! The service was delightful and made me feel very welcome. I do like to dine alone but the atmosphere here was buzzing and the front of house staff attentive. One bite of the gnocchi and I'm immediately transported back to a tiny family restaurant I frequented when I was in Italy. This place was so good I have joined Zomato purely to leave a rave review! Thank you I'll be back with friends! X
The service here was excellent. The servings were generous, cheesy and delicious! I tried the cannelloni and my friend had the pizza. The pizza was thin and crispy! I would highly recommend this place!
EDIT: I came back again and this time, we tried the carbonara, lasagne and chicken Parma. The carbonara was way too salty, while the lasagne was delicious and the side salad that came with the Parma was way too salty. I would recommend you try the pizzas and pass on the carbonara.
Trying to pick a place to eat at Lygon street can be a pretty daunting task, it is nicknamed Melbourne’s “Little Italy” for a reason, there is so much choice! Most of the restaurants you walk past boast an authentic Italian menu, usually shown to you by a friendly (sometimes overly-keen) Italian gentleman with a lot of enthusiasm!!!
When in Lygon Street, eat Italian.
Our lunchtime dining destination was actually Easey's in Collingwood and were only passing by this homely Italian restaurant when the chef in the front window caught our attention; Fernando was expertly preparing gnocchi, and we were summonsed by Penelope to stop for a meal. How could we not?
So we ordered the Gnocchi Pesto alla Genovese. It was amazing. Plump pillows of potato gnocchi were tossed through the pesto; every bite was heavenly.
Not to be deterred from our original lunch goal, we continued on our way after our impromptu gnocchi stop.
I came here today for lunch, the service was great, all the staff were attentive and made the effort to ensure you were enjoying yourself. I ordered the Tagliatelle Napoli today and enjoyed the freshly made pasta however I think the texture wasn't very special (I like pastas with more interesting textures that excite the palate) and there was something lacking from the sauce. Overall it was a clean and light, reasonable feed however lacked something special which would make you want to come back for more.
The customer service from this one gentleman fellow was so good that i felt like i needed to register myself for zomato to express how good his customer service was
Excellent pasta, all home made on site. Good selection of drinks and wines with knowledgeable staff. A little slow on service but well worth the wait.
This is a good place for a quick meal, nice salads and desserts, good service, vibrant atmosphere.
I had a good salad at this place. recommended.
The most amazing Gnocchi I have ever had in my life - reminds me of my earlier days in Italy - truly authentic!! Soft as a pillow absolutely divine!!!
What a lovely place. The place makes you feel warm and homely. Went there for a dinner and immediately liked how at the window a chef makes the pasta and lines if up. The staff was friendly and the service was good. The potion sizes were good. Would go back.
I was lucky enough to stumble across this restaurant on a recent trip to Melbourne, lured in by the promise of the best gnocchi I've ever tasted. Well I have to say they weren't wrong!
I'd never been a massive gnocchi fan, but have to confess I'm now a total convert.
I now know why those in the know describe gnocchi as pillows of lightness. Absolute perfection matched with the saltiness of pancetta and earthy mushrooms.
Italian food and service just as its meant to be. Antipasto platter and gnocchi were perfect. A relaxing evening and dinning experience. We will return.
Absolutely brilliant food, delicious omelet, fantastic coffee and such friendly and welcoming staff and service. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Will definitely be back!
The coffee here is just spot on. More Italian style (strong flavour) than Melbourne style (really milky) but great for when you want that hit. Muffins are a solid bet - they have a good breakfast deal on them. The guy who runs this is also unfailingly friendly, kind and happy. Great reliable place.
Authentic and cute place. Home made pasta. Had the $19 antipasto to share as starter. Wow. Plenty for two! Then homemade Pasta; Spaghetti marinara and Cannelloni. Yum. Nice staff and I love the feel.
Absolutely delicious hand made gnocchi! Great friendly service. Great pasta. Highly recommended! Tiramsu to die for. Definitely coming back for lunch so I can try the award winning Beef Burgundy Pie!
Service is very good. Food is relatively cheap compared to other restaurants in Lygon Street. The pasta was pretty good. A place I definitely would go again!
The service was lovely and the gnocchi was wonderful!

Far out good coffee with soul. A delicious strong dark soul. Had an out of body experience tasting this café's unassuming soy flat white. Well maybe not, but I haven't been this impressed with GREAT FARKING COFFEE in a long time. I don't know what kind of dark roast this place uses, but it will blow your strong-coffee-loving mind. If you want a disheartened barista serving you whilst you sit on milk crates and reclaimed vintage furniture, you'll be disappointed. If you want smiling staff and are happy to enjoy yourself seated at a real table with real chairs, you'll find their coffee runs over the competition.
(Honestly- it's the best coffee I've had in Melbourne!)
Good food too!
Wonderfull food, highly recommended to anyone coming down lygon for real authentic Italian!
We visited today and had the lunch special which was pasta or pizza plus a glass of wine for $17.90. The pasta was handmade and with the bolognese sauce it was amazing. The staff were also really friendly and helpful with the menu choices. Would definitely return
Get yourself a coffee STAT. Authentic food, authentic staff and above all else beautiful authentic coffee. Not too hot, not too cold. Reminds me of being back in Trastevere, Rome. My daily coffee spot now!!
Yum!. Did the lunch time special. $16.90 pasta was delicious and fresh. Got a red wine with the meal, included in the cost. Was great!
Great night - there's quite a few rip offs on lygon at but we had a super dinner. The surf n turf for only $35 was the highlight.
They had me at squid ink pasta. We were actually on our way to eat at our favourite fast Italian restaurant when I saw the specials board out the front spruiking squid ink pasta marinara. Well! There goes the old plan! We ended up dining here and my pasta wasn't too bad. It was subtle, tasty and so more-ish. I loved it.
My partner opted for the steak with mushroom sauce and roasted vegies, and he couldn't complain. It was cooked medium-rare as asked and the vegies were delicious. My sister chose the marinara risotto and she was the first to finish her dish. Everyone was completely satisfied and my daughter loved the mushroom and mozzarella croquette. She actually ate a whole one, AND ate the roasted vegies (a huge feat for her). Will definitely be returning
Seasons provedore. The anti pasta was great. Fresh tasmanian oysters better.
Then we had a pasta with blue cheese.
Exceptional.
GOOD LUCK?
Gluten Free, Yes Please. I went to this place with friends, nervous because I am gluten intolerant and Italian food can be my worst nightmare, either nothing offered for me or not cooked well. I was very pleasantly surprised by the amazing gluten free pasta they have!! Full marks to the chef, unfortunately no gluten free pizza but I would go back for the pasta!!
My partner and I were on our way to dine at another restaurant, however the freshly made pasta in the window caught our eye and thought we would give it a go. So glad we did. Bruschetta was lovely and we both got gnocchi. It was so fresh and well made. Definitely recommend! Staff were very hospitable and friendly even though it was busy!
AMAZING!!!!! We ate here to.... AMAZING!!!!!
We ate here tonight, was beautiful!
My partner got the scotch surf n turf and it was yum!
I got the 300gr scotch fillet, more like 400grams! It was huge!!!
Cooked to perfection!!! We will be back for sure!!
Keep up the good work guys, loved it :-)
Quality Gnocchi, friendly service. Visiting from Brisbane with my girlfriend we did a lap of the Lygon street before deciding on trying Seasons Provedore for dinner. The atmosphere was warm, with a friendly group of waiters operating the busy 8pm rush without much fuss. We ordered the Gnocchi (homemade) and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the meal and service speed. Definitely worth a try!
We had delicious gnocchi, definitely can't describe how good it was however the service is something they really need to improve on. We waited for over 40 minutes until our dinner got served, they forgot to serve our entree and when mentioned at the end, all they did was to apologise. Nothing was thrown to make up for their error. We left with mixed feelings about this restaurant.
Came from another Restraunt (Johnny's) which had terrible food and service to Seasons which was the exact opposite.
Amazing service, the waiters were very kind and accommodating. I ordered a risotto marinara and it was delicious, the scallops were nicely done and melting! Overall great experience
Wonderful surprise,great service and food.Really well priced. Coming back again!
Surprisingly simple good food. We had dinner here with family and friends who were in Melb for a short visit. We wanted to show them Lygon St but avoid the tourist traps. At first look Seasons Provedore looked more like a brunch cafe than restaurant, but the service and food was definitely just as good if not better than your standard Italian restaurants. We enjoyed all the dishes,, I loved the hand made gnocchi, which was tasty and almost addictive. This place has a lot of potential and I wish the presentation of the venue was better so it attracted more people amongst the competition on Lygon street. Oh and apologies to the owner and waiter, we forgot to add tips while we paid the bill first by card. The service was really attentive and worth tipping.
Beautiful gnocchi, the best in Melbourne! A meeting place for my friend and myself, we come only for the handmade gnocchi, which you can often see being prepared through the front window! Friendly staff, had a lovely conversation with the owner after our meal about how the pasta is prepared. Try the Mediterranean butter and sage sauce, it's devine ;)
There is a new chef now and the food is yum! Especially the flathead. The service is also great.
Had dinner here the other night and was pretty happy with the food here. The pastas are very nice particularly the gnocchi with pesto sauce. The surf 'n' was very nice and great value too however the steak was over medium rare
Overall a great meal
Food that's good for the soul :)
We wandered up and down Lygon St until finally deciding on Seasons. Very happy with our decision - could not fault the gnocchi or the margherita pizza. Great little Italian restaurant
Best gnocchi on Lygon. Made even better by the Mediterranean butter and sage. Friendly staff who go above and beyond.
A great meal- delicious seafood marinara- homemade spaghetti with generous amount of quality seafood and served in a pot! Had the white sauce without cream. Excellent service and very nice ambience outside.
Hungry Coeliac & Vegan enjoy. My Literary friend had come down from Queensland for her Swinburne Graduation ceremony at the Melbourne Convention Centre. Afterwards we wanted an early evening meal so we headed up to Lygon St Carlton at about 5pm. My idea was to just start window shopping & reading menus until we found meals to suit our dietary requirements and tastes. After about 3 possibly OK venues we found Seasons Provedore, and they had plenty of good choices for us. I went for the Seafood Hot Pot-full of yummy shellfish in tomato & chilli with a small loaf of G/free bread and my friend chose the Eggplant dish. The menu showed the Gluten Free choices clearly, and our questions were cheerfully answered. Wickedly rich G/free cake and great choice of non-alcoholic drinks suited us. Service, ambience, friendly staff and excellent food. My friend returned for breakfast the next day.
Very friendly staff, reasonably priced, delicious food, would highly recommend a visit to check it out for yourself :)
Absolutely the BEST coffee n homemade Tiramusu in Lygon. Had brekkie here this morning and it was yummy n plentiful. And the owner is not bad either ;-)
Love seasons. Have been going there since it opened. Breakfast is amazing. The coffee top class, everyone has to try seasons!
Simply amazing, had the chicken and avocado pasta, home made. The best I have eaten for only 14.90. I would recommend this over any place on lygon street. Value for money without the hard sell.
Had a lovely meal last night... The gnocchi were perfect as was the Eggplant Parma from the specials menu! Lovely service was a bonus!
Will return. Food and service are of excellent quality.
Had the gnocchi, was absolutely delicious! Great service, nice atmosphere.
Lovely meal. Great service will walk away happy. Highly recommend
Good choice in restaurant 'crowded' Lygon St. Carlton. After having made a booking, only the day before we dined and having asked for a table inside, we were greeted with the comment that there were no available table for us inside. To their credit, they did offer us a free entree and we sat outside. Outside, the heater was working, but noisily!! The tables that we had were on a slope, so I felt I was dining on a ship always listing a bit to one side!! Their gnocchi and tortollini are good, but the lasagne was not heated through properly and had to be reheated. The main courses here are good value and you can BYO. The service was very professional and friendly.
Delicious, well priced and friendly service. Would recommend....if u like eggs Benedict or gnocchi then definately worth it. Coffee delicious too.
Very expensive dessert, but it was nice.
Only had coffee here, but it's true. Coffee here is excellento mama mia!
Great customer service, friendly and informative without being pushy like some others on this street. Amazing food, very reasonably priced with good coffee. Highly recommended.
Yummy, Yummy. Went seasons for early dinner on Sunday night. Just picked it out of all the others as we walked by. Lucky me...
It was fantastic. My daughter had soup of the day - minestone and the the steak. I had the chicken rolled with avocado and mustard sauce with mash - divine. My mum had the house special gorgonzola chees gnoche and said it was the best she'd ever had.
Great food, great service, great ambiance and great price.....couldn't ask for anything better.
Well done to the staff and management.
You know it's good when the place is full...There was a wait for table by the time we left. Good the get there early.
I had the spinach and ricotta canelloni and it was delicious! Very impressed.
Fabulous Frappe. Hot day needed a cool coffee alternativebut not just milky ice coffee with ice cream. After 10 tries finally found somewhere in Lygon St that made a frappe and it was fabulous and worth the walking.
Amazing the best on lygon st
Great Egg Breakfast. Great place for breakfast. Staff are friendly and their variations on the traditional scrambled egg breakfast are very tasty!
A must try for breakfast in Lygon St. I was over from Perth and ate at the Season Provodore by happenstance. I wouldn't normally bother adding a review but I think its good to say well done when its so true. The food was excellent. I thoroughly recommend the Eggs Florina, a lovely meal of poached eggs, salmon, and spinach on muffins with hollandaise sauce.
The coffee too was refreshingly well made without a touch of bitterness.
BEAUTIFUL FOOD & SERVICE. Dined here recentlywith my daughter after reading great reviews on urbanspoon. Was not disappointed. Delighted at quality of fresh and tasteful food. Most impressed to see staff make fresh pasta then served to us topped with the freshest mix of ingredients. Service was exceptional by all members of staff and we cant wait to dine here again next time in Melbourne.Only suggestion would be more comfortable seating inside.
Good friendly service and enjoyable food. I had an enjoyable and filling seafood pot.
Made Fresh Before My Eyes!. I watched the lady making the gnocchi right before my eyes then it came out on a plate in front of me with a delicious sage and butter sauce! OMG! And the cakes - I'm drooling! Loved this place. Sat inside on the bench seats - would have liked to sit outside on the chairs and tablecloth laden tables but it was too cold (even though there is a big bank of heaters - I am sensitive!) plus we are non smokers and people were smoking at their tables. Overall we loved this place and the service was attentive and pleasant.
I absolutely love this place , I have been to nearly every cafe in Lygon in the last few years and this tops them all .I am there nearly every day with my workmates who introduced me to this cafe / restaurant . So good that I am taking my Friends and gf there right now from caulfield . Best coffee and the chef during the week is the bees knees. I suggest a thing from the breakfast menu
I love it!. This is my favourite cafe on Lygon Street :)
FANTASTIC SERVICE, FOOD AND PRICING. The business I work for started using Seasons Provedore for catering after we had bad dealings with 2 previous companies. They always deliver when requested, the presentation is amazing and they charge spot on!
I then organised the delivery of an assortment of sweet and savoury muffins for an event and the communication was fantastic. They charged a lot lower than any company I came across, created specialty muffins we needed, offered samples, tasted spectacular and were the nicest, easiest people to deal with!
The staff gobbled them up and couldn't stop talking about them!
I'm referring Seasons to as many people as I can and will never consider anyone else to get food from.
Give them a try! They go out of their way to be of service and everything is always tasty!
I had the Broccoli, sweet peas and dill soup; it came with some buttery croutons on top and soy and pumpkin seed bun on the side. I loved the soup; the taste of broccoli really came through, and it was such a joy to eat. but the side bread was a little dry and tough though.
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
