Each time we visit Melbourne this is one of our favourite restaurants for dining. Great Italian cuisine with daily specials as well as the regular classic and seasonal menu. The waiters are welcoming with fantastic attention to detail. Intimate and cosy, with terrific atmosphere of approeciative diners.
Wow, what a place! We have been living merely a block away for two years, and feel deep regret for not going sooner. The food is incredible - we tried the antipasto platter, the calamari, and the rigatoni bolognese special, and were not disappointed.
One reason we haven’t visited earlier is due to the price point, but compared to a similar restaurant a block or more down we have been to a couple of times, I wish we had started visiting here.
Besides the food, the service is second to none. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and have that element of making you feel special. Can not wait to visit again!
An institution. Classic Italian food and drinks. Personally. I love the coffee here and have their pasta. Staff are great and standards are always consistent. Never change
Very delicious past and very friendly staff.
The decoration is also amazing! Love the style!
The atmosphere here was lovely and food plentiful and delicious. I can definitely see myself coming back again. That seafood linguine in the baking paper was to die for
Loved the service. Loud vibrant restaurant. Food was amazing. I had the marinara and would definitely recommend.
Don’t worry about the seemingly higher than usual prices here, the food, service and atmosphere is top notch and worth it! The staff were just absolutely lovely and attentive, and there is something truly amazing about freshly cooked pasta with rich ragu that just can’t be beaten!!! Yum yum yum!!!
All the staff speak in Italian to each other.. when you walk in the door, it's like you've hopped off a plane in Italy. Old-worldly, soft lighting and darkly-stained wood panels line the walls. The service is excellent and attentive. "Semi" fine dining without any pretentiousness at all.
Veal on the bone was the stand-out, for me
What a delightful dining experience we had here. I can’t rave about it enough. The service was outstanding. The food was amazing, the homemade pasta was so soft; and the beetroot tagliatelle that I ordered was incredible. My bf and I came here for a fancy date night, which was perfect, and we will definitely continue to return from now on.
Best overall meal and experience I’ve had in a while.
Great atmosphere. Fantastic and warm service and beautiful food. The tiramisu is to die for.
Have already recommended to my friends and cannot wait to be back!
The food was absolutely delicious 😋. I really liked the way they done their pasta. The texture was different from most fresh pasta dishes. I regret not selecting their signature pasta dish (ask them about it because I forgot the name). I saw another diner eating it and it looks amazing!
We got vegetarian friendly pasta and I definitely think they nailed it with the flavor. It's hard to come across vegetarian food that tastes this good! The creme brulee was divine. It had a smokey flavor for the sugar candy.
Apparently they have a romantic rooftop setting but it's only for 2 diners at a time. We have me , my son and my husband.
Also, they don't have a kids menu, but our waiter was super friendly and she's good with kids.
Stumbled across as we walked down Chapel St shopping. Welcomed with open arms, greeted with beautiful italian accents and service impeccable. Food that soothes the soul!! Highly recommend!!
Simply amazing place. The cocktails were divine, the meals were cooked perfectly and perfectly portioned. The meals tasted fresh and delicious. The waiters were the best. Down to earth, professional, easy going, very attentive. Loved it
Very authentic Italian. It's an experience. Great service and food.
The service here was fantastic, and the food was delicious. The staff are all incredibly accommodating, allowing us to enjoy the romantic atmosphere to its fullest. The pastas where incredible, and it's clear that quality ingredients are used. A must visit if you're into that sort of thing. Very genuinely italian
Being half Italian I'm no stranger to Italian cuisine and Caffe e Cucina did not disappoint 😀👌⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food is exquisite. The staff very accommodating. We got lucky enough to be served in the small balcony. Its the only table (can only fit 2) so our date night was extra special
The wine selection is fantastic and it was an overall satisfying experience. 5/5 will go back again
