Had a wonderful evening at Classico last night celebrating my wife and her brothers birthday. Food was fabulous & for 2 of our group that was coeliac everything was taken care of and explained what was safe to eat with many option available. Customer service was excellent. Would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Has a chilled ambience but very welcoming & relaxed atmosphere. We shall be back! 👌👌👌
Stayed at The Blackman Hotel above (Great Joint) and had dinner below at this Absolute ripper place! Started with meatballs and polenta chips both amazing! Then for mains we had 2 gnocchi dishes and a pizza. The gnocchi was perfect and both sauces super tasty. Will DEFINITELY be back!
I’ve had the gnocchi here for the last 7 years and it’s always incredible. I’m always craving it!!! The staff are all really lovely and professional. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
If it's Italian you search for search no longer. Dined here when we stayed at the most amazing hotel The Blackman which is part of the Art Series Hotels. The food and service is absolutely 10/10. To start with the bread is beautiful and crusty with good quality oil, balsamic and butter. The pastas are so authentic and even things like crispy skin barramundi and pizzas etc are all fantastic. Will be back to the hotel and restaurant again.
This restaurant is just so stylish and understated - Vasili and staff will welcome you like old friends - try the scallops too. I wish I lived around the corner from Classico. Arthur McKinley, Gold Coast
I just love this restaurant.
I've been here several times and despite the fact that we live close by I really think it's a top class place to eat.
Tonight I had the gnocchi and a rocket salad. The pasta was light and fluffy and the tomato sauce was rich and full flavoured with torn basil and dressed with freshly grated pecorino.
The rocket salad is full of lovely fresh red onion, olives, semi dried tomatoes and dressed with a flavoursome oil.
Bread is served with olive oil and balsamic.
The service is very excellent and mainly male waiters!
Italian cafe and bar that's associated with the Blackman hotel and serves a nice selection of breakfast. Had the Italian continental which included a big croissant, a sour dough roll and a brioche donut. Their savoury options looked quite good too. The bar and daily specials on the blackboard suggests this place might be a nice spot to hang out.
Some of the best pizzas in Melbourne. Willing to do takeaway for locals. Always friendly service.
I've been to Classico before, but tonight they excelled themselves, the best Saltimbocca I've ever had including internationally, so flavoursome, the pancetta so subtle, my companion who is a carbonara aficionado claimed it the best ever, no creamy slush like you normally get. The wine waiter recommended an Italian wine that was excellent and reasonably priced at $42. The pasta was $22 and the veal $26 and there were 3 large escalopes in a red wine jus. The ambience is great, warm, lighting good, noise moderate and not annoying. Wait staff are experienced and educated in the menu. A very good Itslian dining experience in a city where most Itslian restaurants are over-priced and of standard (boring) quality
Classico. In one word.. Amazing! Loved the their thin crust pizza, ravioli was beautifully al dente with the right amount of filling and the sage was crisp and delightful. Bruschetta was superb, a mix of fresh cherry and semi sundried tomatoes! Service was great. Can't believe i took 7 months to finally try out this great italian restaurant when i live steps away. Classico will be seeing me regularly from now on.
Cosy little bar. Popped in here last night to grab a drink and some tapas. It's such a lovely inviting space and really cosy on a freezing Melbourne night. The place was full for a Monday night and had such a fantastic atmosphere.
Service is friendly and efficient with a great range of wines on offer by the glass and good boutique beer selection.
Excellent restaurant serving Italian food. Highly recommended. Great customer service. It’s a set menu restaurant but they can accommodate a la carte. We went for the set menu and we loved every single one of the dishes in our menu. It was more food than what we expected. The wine was also excellent. Overall good value for money and would definitely come back.
Intimate, personable and absolutely delicious food. The wine selection I scrumptious and the people are great, perfect for a date or even a work lunch!
Traditional Sardinian cuisine and one of oldest Italian dining room with good reputation. The style of food is very rustic and great for sharing with loved one. And the service is in between old school and modern touch. Worth to visit at least once in your life time and leave it to you for next visit. Inside looking like a art gallery or historical museum. I personally had memorable time with my mate. Tasting menu was good, but the price was a little over charged if I must pick one negative.
Had a delightful dinner here this week. Very intimate setting, amazing staff and just sensational food. Love the approach of not having set menus and food based on what was the best seasonal produce for the week.
Food was light, tasty and fresh! Will definitely go again. Thank you.
Just a wonderful experience every time. Passionate and engaging staff, a cosy environment and fresh, organic cuisine. Classic farm to plate, natural fare that’s never ostentatious. A special occasion restaurant that is one of my Melbourne favourites. Highly recommended.
Excellent staff , Most delicious food. Great atmosphere. Will go again.
I just love, love, love this place. Delightful people, great ambience and special food. We had the tasting menu and a lovely bottle of wine. Speaking of wine, the one thing that disappointed me was the wine list. It's not ok to no wine under $85. The wines are good, but it's easy to get high quality wine at way less than that.
We had:
Caper foam
Roasted scallop with potato and mozarella puree and black garlic with finger lime
Tagliatelle eggplant with pork sausage
Rollette shoulderof lamb with egg yoll
Hazelnust ice cream with roast pumpkin and caviar
Dark chocolate easter egg with white chocolate nest filled with ricotta and prickly pear
Yummy, yummy, yummy!
