This is well run establishment with fantastic service, great food and beautiful wine list. Bought my now fiance here for our first meeting and proposed to her one year later on Valentines day. It will always have a special place in our hearts.
Beautiful food, great service and relaxed vibe. Geoff Lindsay brings the best of Pearl Restaurant back. Beyond great!

Had our Christmas function in one of their private rooms. Great food and service, and plenty of parking outside made it an excellent evening. Prices were reasonable.

AFl Grand Final lunch at Lamaro’s. Definitely deserving of 5 stars. Friendly service on hand, good atmosphere and most importantly the food was fantastic. Oysters were spot on with the shallot mignonette, definitely order these, whilst the calamari was fresh and tasted lovely. Didn’t want to overeat with a steak, so opted for the the wilderness beef burger. It was spot on, vastly superior to a burger I had at a specialist burger shop recently. Beef patty was tender and could tell the meat was of a good quality. French fries are French fries, but they did the job. Whilst the dessert I thought was beautifully presented, but most importantly delicious. The rose petal and Turkish delight ice cream was sensational, accompanied by Persian fairy floss and candied ginger added texture - a must have dessert. If you like whites, opt for the 2018 Frankland River Estate Riesling; very good drinking. I will be back soon to try more on the menu, in particular the Rib-Eye. This establishment I would highly recommend to anyone for any occasion.
We went to Lamaro’s last night for the first time for the Crab Club night!! WOW!!! The food and service was excellent and to a very high standard... as keen and avid crab eaters all the crab dishes and sauces were delicious... the atmosphere had a great
vibe to it and the all waiters/ service staff were awesome! Also had the pleasure of meeting the owner DIMMA, who was a very genuine hospitable host and gentlemen! Thanks for a great night DIMMA and team at Lamaro’s.. we will definitely be back soon!!!👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😃😃😃

This restaurant has been our standing place for a group get together for some time and after this evenings fabulous dining experience we agreed to keep it going.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable on wines and on the meals on offer. We had a great recommendation for a red wine which originally we were going to order in a shiraz but in the end the waiter suggested we go for the Merlot, I cant remember the name but we all thought it was extremely delicious, so good in fact we even ordered a second bottle.
We dined on a range of veal schnitzels, steamed chicken Vietnamese salad, red duck curry and the daily special of mussels in green curry sauce. We pimped up the Vietnamese salad and the mussels from entre size to main. Whilst everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, I only tried my dish of the mussels. I found the portion size for the main way to generous as the mussels themselves were unbelievably large, they were extremely plump, in fact the largest I have ever seen. They were just fantastic in the green curry sauce, one of my favourite ways to eat them, especially when I got a chili hit in a mouthful, yum.
Despite the fact we were all full, we shared a few desserts, I shared the dark chocolate tart with a delightful pastry, it was very rich and decadent.
We then retired to the bar for a night cap, a great way to finish a fantastic meal and a fabulous evening.

We came back to Lamaros Hotel for a catch up with old mates.
We all partook in some red wines this evening, there was an extensive wine list and we were not disappointed with the Sangiovese we chose.
The popular mains within the group included the mixed grill which came with a red wine and cracked pepper sausage, lamb cutlet pork belly and steak. The other most popular choice was a steak with various toppings. While I didn’t partake in these meaty dishes, the comments were plentiful around the tenderness and tastiness of these meals, the following days later there was still plenty of talk of how great the steaks are.
My dish of choice was the whole baby barramundi which came with a biryani rice and 3 sauces. My dish was lovely and tasty and gratefully not a bone in sight which made for a very enjoyable experience. We shared a variety of salads, chips and roasted vegies across the table, all prepared with delicious combinations of flavours that I thought worked really well.
For dessert we had the poached pear with a hazelnut crumbled biscuit and orange curd. The pear was well poached so cutting into was easy.
We also had the chocolate pudding with white chocolate ice cream and decadent chocolate sauce. I’m so glad we ordered this dish as the menu indicated it takes extra time to prepare so we nearly didn’t.

We went there o a Friday night for some nibbles and drinks. Had Pol Roger to start with. And had the sashimi plate, the scallops and the wild mushroom agnolotti(amazing) which were all delicious and beautiful. Great staff and service. Very cosy decor.
Iconic South Melbourne pub Lamaro’s Executive Chef Geoff Lindsay has recently launched a new Spring/Summer menu, which includes a few of his old favourites from his days at Pearl in Richmond.
Our top picks from the new menu include the stunning entrée of Wild mushroom agnolotti served with Manjimup Truffles. This is one luxurious and decadent dish that is expertly prepared and leave you wanting more.

Had dinner at Lamaro's last night, the place is a little gem of a higher-end pub / almost fine dining bistro in the heart of South Melbourne. The surroundings are quiet, but inside the pub and restaurant was buzzing on a Friday night. They have an intensive drinks menu, plenty of amazing wines to choose from. Decent selection of cocktails. The food was surprisingly incredible. The grilled scallops with pork belly was a definite highlight, followed very closely by the kingfish sashimi. As for main, we went with the ribs and that glaze on the ribs was just finger-licking delicious! I kinda wished the glaze/bbq sauce on those ribs came in a jar so I can have ribs that taste like that at home...
Finished with a coconut pavlova for dessert, opted for the fresh tasting one as the others sounded a bit more rich and we were already so full at this stage we almost just needed a refreshing palate cleanser. Great decision. The passionfruit curd inside the coconut pav was pretty intense.. and pretty amazing.
Overall, the ambience is pleasant and cosy with a fireplace in the corner. Lovely dinner, thank you to the friendly staff at Lamaro's for a delightful evening.
What a great place for a meal or social drink. Pub classics with a twist with a mix of chef “signature dishes”. All of our party were delighted with their dishes. Highly recommend.
A wonderful lunch at Lamaro’s Friday very busy couldn’t get inside but the outdoor marquee is set up well and warm with heating. Very popular you need to book and I know why… my lobster tail pasta was sensational I’m still memory tasting. Wonderful service very attentive friendly staff. The veal schnitzel is a favourite here served with slaw. Plenty of wine and beers on offer.
We went here impromptu Easter Sunday and are we glad we did! I had a craving for steak and I had been wanting to try this gastropub pit for a while so we got a booking.
We sat outside and Frankie looked after us, he was the best waiter I've had in a long time, no fuss, just great service! We got the wine list, water and bread first (nice touch!) and then we ordered. The halloumi starter was yum and the steak was sooo good - the black pepper sauce to die for! The Diane sauce was good too but go peppercorn if you only pick one!
Nice wine selection, amazing service and good quality food. The only thing maybe try dimming the outside lightning in the dining area, you have a great spot - you could make it super cosy outside.
Either way, we'll be back!
Delicious meal has here today! We had the lamb sliders, steak sandwich & dessert. Food was incredible and staff were so friendly, would definitely recommend :)
The food was amazing. I had the prawn and lobster tail pasta and it was one of the best I've ever eaten. My husband had the steak and it was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The ambiance is nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful, even though they were run off their feet due to staff shortages. There is a great wine list and lots of other options too. I can't wait to go back again soon.
Very nice dining experience. Robert our waiter was brilliant, very friendly and accomadating. Food was well presented and very tasty. The scallops and duck curry were delicious. The strawberry cheesecake was amazing. We'll be back. Highly recommend.
We have eaten here a few times now and we also partook in their takeaway menu during Covid which was exceptional. The menu has great choices and the steaks are Sublime, services is professional, attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive. A nice selection of wines and now that they’ve got the outdoor sitting area as well as the indoor dining it’s really lovely to visit particularly given the weather we have been having lately. We didn’t make a booking on the weekend and managed to get in it was an excellent afternoon. Highly recommend
Went here and ordered the burger and fries as my main followed by chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. Had a lemon, lime and bitters to drink - one of the better ones out there. The fries were also great, would recommend getting a meal that includes them.
The burger was definitely my least favourite part. Cooked well on the inside, but very charred on the inside. Also not a fan of the sauce. However, the dessert was flawless.
Definitely give this place a try, but if I were you I’d give the burger a miss.
Had a great long lunch today with four patrons. Food was sensational, scallops and pork belly for entree are a must and we all had a steak for main which was awesome, service was fantastic and great to see a packed establishment with lots of smiles. Great variety on the drinks list and variety for food. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal. Thank you
