Had lunch out on the deck, in the sun looking out on the river, the staff here are very attentive and knowledgeable, the fish, salad, with the olive oil/bread I had was AMAZING. Overall - great venue, great service and great food. 5 stars.
Beautiful coffee and gelato shop next door! Very friendly staff too. Nice one
4.5 Tucked away in the second level in Southgate, Tutto Benne is an authentic Italian eatery that’s escaped our radar till now. Their risotto, while perhaps not the healthiest of options, no doubt won our praise and our hearts, being so full of flavour and heavenly rich. Don’t forget about their gelato either, which was pretty spot on too!
As at the time of writing, they are offering $20 takeaway of any gnocchi and gelato during this pandemic, which represents amazing value and a great way to support small businesses.
Incredible risotto with so much flavour! Great service too. Would have been nice to have the heaters on outside as it was quite cold
We visited Tutto Bene for a quick coffee break. My friend discovered this place by chance and recommended that we check it out. It ended up being a fantastic recommendation. The coffee was amazing and personally, I feel that it has some of the best coffee in Melbourne. Even my soy cappuccino tasted amazing. This is on my list of must-visit places and I will be returning the next time I'm in Melbourne!
This restaurant has become a popular and reliable date night destination for both my girlfriend and I, and has never disappointed, food has been nothing short of exceptional and we both are already looking forward to our next visit there.
Great atmosphere, great food and staff were very friendly. The best gelato ever! Definitely will be coming back 😊
The staff are friendly and attentive, the ambiance is lovely. Enjoyed everything about this establishment.
We both shared calamari salad and each had a risotto each: beef ragu; and mussels and confit tomatoes - simple, tasty and elegant food.
Wine and coffee was good, and service top notch.
We will be back!
I really like the gelati here, it's almost a secret find, as you have to go up the escalators from the riverside walk.
The panna cotta was soft and creamy, perfectly replicating the flavours of a creme caramel.
I actually came back to have a tiramisu, which was also delicious with flavours of coffee, mascarpone and actual sponge mixed through. Great textures.
$5 for 1 scoop in a waffle cone, pretty good value for the location!
We had tried out Tutto Bene’s test kitchen Tuesday which happens every last Tuesday of the month!
We had the braised beef, egg pasta with roast chicken ragu and smoked duck breast as the mains and pastry baked ice cream with apple compote for dessert!
My favorite main was the smoked duck breast as the meat was so tender and juicy! It also came with artichoke purée, chestnuts and chocolate and sour cherry jus! It was interesting how the chocolate and sour cherry worked as it provided sweetness to the duck!
The dessert was pretty lovely as it was not overly sweet and it crumbled into my mouth! It was very similar to an apple crumble!
We had a good experience at Tutto Bene and look forward to their next test kitchen and trying the rest of their menu!
We came here for date night. We got a table facing the river which was nice. We ordered the eggplant chips for entree which was delicious. We ordered lamb shank risotto and seafood spaghetti which tasted authentic. Do save some room for dessert, the self saucing chocolate pudding was divine. Would definitely come back here again!
Warm, easy and friendly service. A relaxed, tidy and comfortable venue perfect place for a meal with a view of the yarra river, close to the melbourne cbd and attractions, good sample of More than decent italian food melbourne was and is still associated with. Pricing is reasonable for the Southgate precinct. It continues to impress guests (with kids from interstate). The gnocchi was pillowy, the mushroom risotto not undercooked and full of shroomy goodness. the calamari dish was generous. The rucolla salad could be improved with being a little less tart and using fresh sliced pears instead. this one of the few restaurants at southgate that has withstood the decades! i wish it the best and hope it stays with melbourne for decades to come. ps delicious gelatos here too.
We were a group of 5 women having lunch before attending the ballet for the first time in 2 years. It was also the first time some of us had been to a city restaurant for 2 years so we were hoping for something special and Tutto Bene was wonderful! The staff were friendly, very efficient and the food was not only delicious but presented beautifully! We all had entrees which were all generous servings. I would highly recommend Tutto Bene! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
We came as small group and were given a set menu for a 2 course. The risotto dominated the main course where there was four varieties and only two others to choose from a pasta in a meat dish.
Would’ve like to see more of a variety in the set menu as it was very quite restricted. Food was quite good and price was reasonable as well as the setting and service.
Well it was for my birthday so good feels to start with. Really glad I dined there that night. The two risottos we ordered were delicious, and of the same high quality I remember from last time dining there seven years earlier. And terrific attentive wait staff in Jesse and Leniency. I just wished there were more guests there for atmosphere on a mid-winter Friday night. It’s such a beautiful spot overlooking the Yarra and city through clear wall canopy, with cosy heating. Loved it.
Look, at first I thought La Camera was THE Italian place to dine along the river.. But Buoy was I wrong... loved the ambience and setting at Tutto Bene. And staff were courteous enough to ask if we had an upcoming show that evening. Food and service was amazing with our meals arriving super fast. Sorry, La Camera. It's not you, it's Tutto Bene...
