Melbourne is famous for it lane ways characterized by Vibrant Street art, secret shops and fashion boutiques and a plethora of eating joints. Hardware Lane, is one such lane I came across while wandering European sophistication and you would be forgiven for thinking that you’re sitting in a roadside café in Paris rather than Australi
i opted for the humbler Vons for an early dinner. A Italian Café with fresh pasta and sauce made every day, I chose the veg cannelloni and a glass of the house sparkling to accompany it. The view was fantastic and the service friendly. The pasta when it arrived looked good, though I found the sauce more like a thick soup and had to literally go fishing for my cannelloni
Had a Saturday dinner date at Vons. We were persuaded by the guy at the front, and regret nothing. We had an entree, main for 2 of us, dessert and a drink each for under $70. Meals we had came out quick and delicious. Highly recommended for people who likes Italian/ Australian cuisine.
Back on Hardware Lane again for breakfast this time and I decided to go to Von's. Was met by a nice, friendly, elderly gentlemen who offered me a good deal on breakfast. Of course on Hardware Lane people will put the 'hard word' on you as everyone there is competing for your business.
If you don't want someone to talk to you then try fast food where the only thing they say is 'want fries with that?' or 'wanna supersize that?' lol. But enough of that on to the meal. I had the Eggs Atlantic and the salmon was very nice indeed. Tasted delicious and very fresh as did the eggs and Hollandaise sauce. Hot chocolate was nice too. As I only had breakfast there I can't speak as to the mains on the menu but I was happy with what I had. Would recommend it.
If it hadn't been for a voucher offer, we probably wouldn't have make it as far, running the touting gauntlet of Hardware Lane. There are lots of interesting eateries to pass before finding Vons but we did enjoy our dinner. In particular, the salt and pepper calamari was perfect and the pasta dishes very tasty. We shared a creme brulee which was very good too. Nice place with friendly service :)
Good food, good service. definitely recommended, friendly staff, and very good value for money, one problem, my lamb ribs, got too much meat and I had to share... too full....
Walking to hardware lane to find a place to dine and came across this. Ended up being a good steak that I ordered. Happy with the mushroom sauce. Wasn't tooo salt and had a lot of flavour. Steak was cooked to perfection. Loads of other options to try so I'd love to come back. The service was great too!

This place is pretty good and friendly service.
I've been here a few times and it's pretty good. The pasta which is my favourite, is inconsistent on some days. Such as having undercooked pasta.
My favourite's are the Carbonara and Gnocchi. Least favourite was the artichoke pasta, as the sun-dried tomatoes tasted extremely funky.
The calamari entree dish is very nice. it is fresh. The chicken avocado paste is so so as it is not a strong creamy favor. The other main is good, especially for its sausage.
Amazing food and service! First time eating there and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! They were very accommodating and I could not fault the service! Dexter, our waiter, was AMAZING! Definitely going back there!
I had a great meal here. Staff were great. I say ignore the low ratings and give it a go. Lucky I didn't look at ratings before choosing it. I had a great pasta and other meals looked good too .
