Went for a drink and snack after a show. Lovely wine, food, great service. Complimentary tasting plate between 4:30 & 6:30 and great music added to a very nice afternoon. Will definitely return.
Fabulous food. Great drinks and GF bread to die for. I'd go back for the gf bread alone. The salami platter was also something I'd have again and again.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND - gnocchi and prosciutto pizza
Gnocchi was extremely silky-smooth and delicate, and also bursting with flavours! 💯 Prosciutto pizza was super good and we also enjoyed other dishes. Will definitely be back soon!
Had a lovely time dining here. Perfect atmosphere for a date or dinner with friends, not too quite but not at all noisy. Service was attentive. Really enjoyed the food.
Amazing food and lovely ambience. Guy Grossi is always friendly and appreciative when you choose to dine at Ombra. My favourite pizza and pasta!
This.Places.Bangs.
Highly recommend you start with a mix of Salumi & cheese (off menu).
And share as many Cicchetti as your stomach will allow....the croquettes are a must have.
The pizza was crispy and light, the richness and quality of the meats really gave it that extra something. The gnocchetti was such a surprise to the tastebuds.
Excellent suggestion of wine by the staff and the ambiance is just perfect. Either a catch up with friends or a serious date.
AND surprisingly cheap too.
On my list of regular returns.
We loved 😍
All dishes here were amazing! The duck liver parfait was delicious and was a very generous serving size. The waitress was lovely and kept topping up our crackers and bread. The meat and cheese selections were delicious. We also ordered the ragu pasta which I would highly recommend.
We disliked 😖
We wanted a sweet wine bottle to share but they only had one bottle of moscato. I was completely surprised when the bill came and the bottle was $95!
Overall the meal was a little pricey and we had ordered less food than the recommended.
Cool and cozy Italian restaurant! I had a very relaxing 😌 time here, the sharing plates were interesting and delicious! Recommend the Cauliflower and Mussels 😋
Cosy little Italian eatery and bar. Décor gives the feeling of authenticity. We shared a Salumi selection platter with warm bread. Separately we had the Rigatoni with Ox Tail Ragu, and the Gnocchetti Tirolese. Could not fault any of the food. Well prepared, simple and quite delicious. Service was attentive and will return
All the meals that we’ve ordered were so tasty. The service was great as well. The guy who were serving us was very attentive and gave us some recommendations what to order. I must say the portion was a little bit too small. Wished the a little bit bigger :). Anyway, we were really happy with our dinner on that night. Highly recommended
While I do love this place, the food was yummy. Pizza in my opinion needed more toppings, but still yum! The service was a let down compared to previous dining experience. While they were very kind, things were missed that we ordered so we just cancelled them and drinks took awhile to come. However, because of the ambience and the food still being pretty damn tasty I’d still recommend people visit 💗
😱Lizzie’s first impression: I love the ambience of this place - both upstairs and downstairs. The staff are lovely and attentive.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: I especially loved the fried zucchini flowers and the porkbelly. The pork belly is delicious and crispy. I loved the pizzas - the salami pizza has a good punch of chilli while the prosciutto pizza is fresh and has lots of greens. All have good bases and fresh toppings.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: the squash and peas with mozzarella was abit bland and didn’t add much value to my tastebuds. The gnocchtini was a little soft for my liking and also didn’t have too much flavour unfortunately.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: I love the vibes of this place and I cant wait to come back and be seated downstairs to dine and wine there!
Lovely staff and restaurant. We booked for a dinner at 7pm and the table was all ready for us. The interior is dimly lit so the vibes were very nice. We ordered the gnochetti (must try) and the prosciutto, pear pizza which was very filling. They also gave us a cute Mother’s Day gift which was very nice of them.
Great little restaurant two sections down stairs and upstairs a little more formal upstairs tasty food slightly focused on sharing plates, you can order individual meals. Worth the visit.
A beautiful restaurant with fantastic food and excellent service that doesn’t disappoint. Third time visiting Ombra and I’ve made it a priority to stop by when I come to this lovely city. The antipasti, pizza and pasta selection here is to die for - it’s all so good! The gnochetti with speck is amazing, and although they didn’t have the squid ink risoni this time, I’d suggest everyone to try it if it’s available because it is 10/10
Really fantastic early dinner. Service was exceptional and everything was delicious. We will be back for sure
One of the best Italian joints in Melbourne! The Prosciutto pizza is to die for. And the ribs - oh my goodness. Capped off with a couple of world class desserts - the cheesecake & salted caramel buns were amazing 🤩
On the dessert alone ...
If you like your #tiramisu and #profiteroles ... Coffee is not bad even with weekend surcharge ...
Guy Grossi desserts are classically good, not overly sweet, and just right ...
One of the best spot on Sunday arvo in the City.
We went on a Sunday afternoon with a small group of five.
Had the degustation which was generous and tasty.
Service was friendly, cocktails and wine were nice and the food was good.
Highlight for us was the bread and oil ha!
