It was a great pasta but just so pricey for a lunch option. It was quickly made and fresh. Great flavour
Charming little café at the base of the building on the corner of Little Bourke and William. Boisterously managed by the proprietor and staff, this seems like a happy place with dedicated regular from Melbourne’s legal community.
The Dear Luncher enjoyed his usual coffee (long macchiato) and found it to be right on the money. The coffee here is quite obviously reliable. There did not seem to be too many fast breakfast options. In the end the safe option of a ham, cheese and tomato toasted sandwich was selected. This safe option turned out to be a brilliant one, mainly because of how good the bread was. Crusty on the outside, but delicate and soft on the outside. The Dear Luncher’s co-workers looked on with jealousy as each bite produced a loud crunch. A little on the pricey side this breakfast combination ($14.20), but certainly an enjoyable one.
Great Italian restaurant with excellent staff and service. I've been there a few times with colleagues or clients and I've never been disappointed! Love this place.
Review of the coffee - I have not eaten there !
Coffee is always consistently great. Bold, silky and milk is always spot on. My go to morning pick me up
It’s a nice, cosy place with a friendly vibe. The waiter can be a little overbearing but only slightly. The food is always tasty and while it’s not cheap, you get what you pay for. I’ve not had a bad meal there.
This review is for coffee as I've not eaten food there: Bold. Intense. Delicious. Lasting. All the things my mouth enjoys in a coffee. Get it in ya!!
Berto's is what I love about Melbourne. An unassuming little nook with great coffee, great customer service, and an omelette that deserves its self-proclaimed title of 'world famous'
I've been working in the CBD for 5 years and have finally found the best breakfast in Melbourne ! The quaint Berto's on William street brings a home made feel with the freshest Italian ingredients. Great vibe & customer service from the owner Berto. I got the famous Berto's omelette (ham, cheese, tomato) and it was absolutely delicious. Great coffee too, highly recommend !

I went to Berto's yesterday for lunch and I have been a very loyal customer over the past few years. I just wanted to thank you for the Seafood stew served with saffron fregola, it was absolutely delicious.
Thank you Bertos! I look forward to many more years of incredible cuisine.

What a cute little place this is. If you're in the legal district of Melbourne around William street then you need to visit this place. An Italian bistro where the waiters know their stuff. They'll explain each item of the menu (which is written on the board on the wall, no paper) and they'll choose a wine to match. And if you have to be out in an hour to get back to work? No problems. They often have a fish dish which I've had numerous times and is always delicious, the pastas and risottos are also super tasty and fresh. Simple, clean, authentic Italian flavours.
Nice little place that's a little out of the way, and has a nice, calm ambience.
The coffee is nice and smooth, and the staff are pleasant. Also tried their almond croissant - also quite nice.
It's a great little place to chill during a lunch break, or catch up on a book if you're out and about when they open at 0630.

Friendly staff with great coffee.
Low profile cafe which serves the best coffee I've had in Melbourne CBD....Try their Flat White, its really good and consistent all the time!!!
I can’t fault this place. Small and cosy with an impressive looking menu. It’s hidden away from all the other coffee venues around here and doesn’t have the ridiculous lines. The coffee is great, smooth and rich.
Friendly attentive service. My wife been for breakfast and said was just as nice as lunch. Little over priced for what you get.
Best breakfast I had in a long time! Went there last thing before catching my flight back to Europe, definitely a wothy farewell for the continent. Had scrambled egg with salmon and feta, awesome! If I could give 6 stars I would! Do go there!
