Amazing venue. If you are a pasta person, this is the place to go.
Buzzing lunchtime, great attentive service and home-made pastas. Hearty for a cold winter.

Great atmosphere to match the classic style of 333 Collins. The ambient noise level is a bit high, probably due to the hard floors, but not too loud to prevent private conversations. Entry either from Collins Street directly or via the grand foyer in 333 that is accessible both from Collins Street and Flinders lane.

Great coffee and food - but really come for the grandeur and personal service

Great place for coffee, friendly staff too.

An institution for business deals over coffee ... heart of Melbourne and lots of business people and suits - can be intimidating if that's not your normal setting, however if your in town to do business then meet at Strozzi ... not really about the food albeit it's okay - coffee is good

The pasta I had there was very delicious!! I've had breakfast, coffee & lunch there now. I would definitely go there again đ

Great ambiance. Lovely place to just sit back and enjoy a latte with a friend or a great pasta for lunch

Literally walked in off the street to grab a take away coffee. I was greeted with a genuine unpretentious hello and attended to promptly. The decaf latte was served with a perfect temperature. I'm sick of 20-something mincing precious staff - you won't find any here!! - The staff that I encountered were great! Good atmosphere - dark and relaxed - hipster-free and most of also old school romantic. - A great place for a cheeky wine hidden away with that special someone.

I great place to meet for a work lunch. I had the seafood spaghettini. So delicious. Atmosphere and staff were great. Enjoyable experience.

Met here for lunch with some business associates today. Lovely coffee and a great antipasto. Thanks very much!
The Casual Diner
Came here for lunch with some colleagues and ordered their risotto special (veal). The risotto was cooked well, the flavors was well balanced and the serving generous. The place was a little loud on a lunch service so it was a little hard to hear each other. But couldnât fault the service and the place had a nice ambience to it. Prices were on the high side compare to other lunch meal options around the area so this will not be a regular casual lunch option for us purely because of this.

Situated in a great old heritage building is this cafe/restaurant. <br/><br/>The service was quick and friendly. My strong skinny latte was alright. The flavour of my coffee was strong but it was nothing special.<br/><br/>For those people who like their coffee hot then this is the place for you lol.<br/><br/>Not much more to say really.
Truth Hurts
We went in for coffee after walking past and it looked ok. We were actually heading to Dukes Coffee but thought we'd try someplace new. Bad decision! Coffee was very weak - I couldn't taste any coffee. Staff looked uninterested and weren't friendly. When we went to pay, the guy barely looked at us, no thank you or smile. Surely, it cant be that hard to be friendly, especially when you work in hospitality. It was a truely unpleasant place. Poor service and awful coffee.<br/><br/>I wouldn't bother and definitely don't waste your money. There are so many better options!<br/>

Really nice mushroom toastie, coffee was a bit of a let down. Service is good and the ambience is old school. Like the place will go back as itâs in my office building.

I have been dining at Strozzi for over 15 years and have had regular lunches there. However, I won't be returning. The faint smell of cigarette smoke all through our lunch today totally ruined our experience. Then when we left through the front doors, we were met with a thick wall of cigarette smoke from tables on the veranda where diners can smoke. I thought that was no longer permitted, but for some reason it's still OK at Strozzi.  Never again.

Started going here as my regular morning coffee shop is closed. Though looks inviting the staff were not. The barista in the morning greeted me with the look of disgust as if I interupted his morning. He did not smile was not welcoming at all. It made me realise why its always quiet there in the mornings. Its really not hard to smile atleast. Coffee was below average and very hot and left a grainy after taste in my mouth. My advice to the barista is you work in hospitality you need to be nice and welcoming.

Business lunch Thursday. I had dined here a couple of years ago and was not inspired to revisit. I wish I had trusted my memory!<br/>Although the service is good (if not a bit stuffy), for the location, one would expect a better dining experience.<br/>Somewhat overpriced for the quality of the dishes, especially pasta. Wine list was impressive however was also a bit on the pricey side for the offerings.<br/>Good location but noisy.

The food is great, this place has been around a long time. The acoustics are woeful - background noise is loud (all concrete and wooden floors- Strozzi please understand folks at your establishment are there to listen and communicate!). We were at a business luncheon of 3. 2 had the special seafood linguine - fish/crustaceans were fresh and amazing. My other guest had the ravioli and she loved it.<br/><br/>The service is so so until you get the folks that have been there a while, admittedly we were arrived early. Having said that for a working lunch, we waited over 15 minutes for our after meal coffees- that's too long. <br/><br/>All in all though a good place. Price is reasonable and service, so long as you get the old hands, is great.

Very rude service from one of the senior staff. He seemed a racist with a snobbish attitude when serving us. Not recommended for tourists, they are not friendly to tourists.

Stylish, satisfying Strozzi. Located in the elegant 333 Collins St building, Strozzi caters to the bankers and business people in their expensive suits and hushed voices. And with this discerning clientele, it rises to the occasion for each meal throughout the day.<br/><br/>On this visit, l was meeting a friend for a weekday breakfast. We both couldn't resist the truffle toasted sandwich, with mushrooms and thyme-marinated feta. I convinced myself that the side of tomato and avocado made this a healthy option - which it clearly isn't. But what it is, is absolutely moreish - as delicious as pernicious. Huge teapots complemented our meal although the metal makes it a little tricky if you want to open it.<br/><br/>With its timber panelling, mood lighting and rarefied atmosphere, this has all the makings of a date restaurant. I found the service was a little standoffish - perhaps because we weren't in business attire. But I'm hoping that's a blip because everything else was so so good.<br/><br/>FYI Strozzi was the name of a noble Florentine medieval family, with a feisty and politically savvy matriarch, Alessandra. I'm hoping this place is named for her, rather than for the Italian verb to choke!

Came for a lunch with my brother-in-law. Ended up spending $55 for a coffee, tea, gnocchi swimming in butter and salad with 3 leaves. At least coffee was good.

I normally come here for work meeting. Place is very well outlayed and got a heritage feel to it which I like about. Strongly recommend their seafood pasta. Very fresh herbs and ingredients.

Came here for breakfast, paid for by a work related vendor so didn't really feel right about taking any photos. <br/><br/>Anyway, place is a decent little Italian restaurant that I've always noted the outdoor seating and rather surprised to see the interior. Coffee here wasn't that great, but the breakfast was nice enough. <br/><br/>Staff were ok as was the ambience. I'd probably go for the actual Italian dishes next time I go, if I ever do...

Good ambience, comfy chairs which do feel like they could be a little higher as you tend to lean up on the tables for four. Service has always been attentive and friendly at Strozzi. On the downside , the coffee is ok at best and noise levels are high. <br/>I have remarked before that noise is a deal breaker for me, so I tend not to suggest meeting here if I want to conduct a business meeting.
Kane Chang
If u come here, u will like Italian food as much as I do
Jono Horne
Amazing food. Best rockling fish I have ever had.. Make sure you start with the olives and finish with Affogato.. Hats off to the chef.

We don't have a Strozzi in Sydney. Love this place
Beedubs1977
Strozzi is at the bottom of 333 Collins Street.<br/><br/>Amazing building, and cool fitout.<br/><br/>I've just started working in the area in Jan 2014, and we've had a few Lunches and Coffee meetings here.<br/><br/>It's expensive, but hey it's Collins Street, and it's really quite nice.<br/><br/>We'll be spending some time here by the looks of things.

Typical fat cat lunch joint. Fine if that's what you're after.
Robert Martin
Nice but a bit pricey. I came here for a late afternoon coffee. Being open a little later was very handy. The decor is nice, the service was good, but the beverages were a bit pricey - $5.50 for a skinny hot chocolate! I still enjoyed the place and may go back.
Willstar
They close at 5 daily but at 4.50 the greeting was still friendly and welcoming.<br/>Service efficient and the coffee delicious.<br/>I will definitely be back and recommend.<br/>Thank you!

Really dissapointing eggs benedict and coffee was very average for melbourne. English muffins burnt, poached eggs not cooked properly (in way too much vinegar), not sure if it was bacon or pancetta but couldn't compete with the vinegar. Waiters quite indifferent. Shame as atmosphere is really promising.

Good value informal business lunch. This is one of my favorite places for an informal work lunch - the same kitchen does the restaurant and cafe food- choose the cafe and go without cloth napkins to save on the food bill. Antipasto plate at $25 for 2 is actually a good substantial lunch, spaghetti marinara and Caesar salad as well as fish of the day also good choices from the solid menu - a good venue to chat and do business, but not the prestige location to close a big deal.

Bad attitude and arrogance. This happen a while ago but has stayed in my memory as a very bad experience. the dish was a lamb. It came covered with salad. When I lifted th evegetable, I found waht was essentially 3 picees of fat, tendon and goodness know what else. When I complained, it was heard in silence without apology. Two minutees later a small side dish bearing 3 tiny strips of lamb arrived and was placed next to my meal without a word. The worst attitude from a restaurant I had ever experienced. Will never go or take anoyone there ever.

Good all round. Had a great risotto and the calamari my friend had gave me food envy. Staff were efficient and knew what they were doing. Place was packed on a thursday

Took a friend to the caffeterria for lunch, She really enjoyed her rissotto dish which was a special of the day. However I was very disappointed in the gnocchi. It was rubbery and the little sauce there it had was tasteless. The waitress that seated us and took our order was lovely and friendly. Can't say the same for the man who whisked our plates back to the kitchen. The coffee to finish was quite good but overall I won't be back.

Lunch today was good as when there a couple of times in the past. Basic Italian fare not remarkable but good. Service attentive. Wine and coffee above average. A good lunch choice.
