For appetizer, we tried the bruschetta. it's yum, so fresh. the bread was perfect. not too crispy. nor soggy. For main, I ordered Penne Alfredo and my friend had Gnocchi Alla Sorrentino. Both were tasty. The service was swift. Might have another visit to taste their dessert.
The food was pretty decent. We got two appetisers, a trio of dips and a calamari fritti, both were excellent. I ordered the special pasta linguini calabrese, packed with plenty of prawns and what seemed like a mountain of chorizo, excellent! My father was with me and he ordered the linguini and meatballs which he said was really good. The service was amazing, the waitresses attentive and pleasant to deal with.
Very traditional setting, with plenty of pictures, and posters from shows that have had runs at the Princess Theatre just around the corner.

What a blast from my past coming here after many years of dining elsewhere. It has to have been in the late 70’s that I first came here and really it hasn’t changed much. Food and expectations change though but it was like slipping on an old pair of jeans. Atmosphere nice and easy. Service by staff good. Meals came out quickly and in good portion sizes. Had to have the carbonara. Nice flavours.
It’s also a great place to do some people watching of Bourke Street pedestrians. Wheelchair friendly. Pram and stroller accessible. Tram right out the front. Will return. Sorry it was so long between visits.
