Amazing pasta and good, great value and lovely staff. Always worth a visit when around this part of the city.
Best pizza I've had in years
Simmyeats.Melb suggested that we meet up here for pre-drinks and what a cosy spot this was. A local bar with a decent selection of drinks, and an all-round relaxed and casual vibe.
We arrived during happy hours and I had a house white while Simmy had a beer. The lady serving us was all smiles and very pleasant. A great spot to have a drink, and from the looks of it, a meal too.
I met Hello.imnikki here for a pre dinner drink, we just wanted a quick drink and this pub was a great place for that.
We arrived when it was Happy Hour! Perfect! I ordered a nice beer and Hello.imnikki had a white wine. The barlady was very helpful is helping me choose a beer on tap, she was very nice and chatty too.
All in all a nice local pub with a good mix of tap beers and wine.
My friend took me there and highly recommend the seafood pasta with olive oil (not with tomato source). It is not an ordinary spaghetti marinara. It's true seafood. There is half crab, 3 big scallops, 3 big Tasmania black mussels, 3 big tiger prawns and calamari. And all fresh seafood not frozen. It was really impressed. Cooked nicely and very hot when came to the table. For all the pasta you can choose entree or main size. It gives the flexibility for small eaters. I also had the tiramisu to finished the meal. Homemade flavour. The portions were very generous and price was very reasonable. Staffs were very nice. Will definitely come back and recommend!
Best food money can buy, great atmosphere with a family fun restaurant, if you’re out in Melbourne and want quality food the Royal Standard Hotel will not disappoint.
I can not recommend this place highly enough . Had a function with 30+ people service was outstanding our meals were absolutely amazing and very decent servings. they were all served within 10 minuets so we all ate together. The function room was cosy with heating and close to the restrooms. Will definitely be going back! 😁
Had Uber eats - ordered the Chicken Caesar salad and nonnas meatballs... bloody delicious. Huge portions, great flavour and value for money! The only thing i would comment on would be too maybe put the hot grilled chicken separate to salad so the lettuce doesn’t get wilted... thank you
From the outside I had low expectations however the food is amazing, owners are lovely and prices are so reasonable with well-sized servings. The seafood pasta, Parma and homemade gnocchi are delicious!
This place is fantastic. Don't be fooled by the exterior, this is a great italian bistro with a bar attached.It's not fine dining nor does it pretend to be. This is great quality bistro/trattoria dining at a very reasonable price run by a lovely couple who genuinely enjoy what they do. We have let many people in on this secret gem and they too have gone on to become regulars.
You would be challenged to find a better value place in Melbourne.
Such a great experience (I’m writing this as a stuffed satisfied customer).
The pub is very homey, and has an old school comfort vibe.
I understand it’s a family run business, with majority of the menu being Italian.
The portion sizes are enormous, which I loved.
Meals are definitely value for money.
We got the polenta chips, seafood pasta and the baked barramundi (which was on special).
The seafood pasta was amazing.
When I come back again (which I will), I will struggle to order something other than the seafood pasta (it was that good).
In Melbourne for work and stumbled into this lovely little pub. Had the rib eye two nights in a row and it was absolutely perfect. Asked for medium rare and got it bang on each night. The owner Lucy is a lovely Italian Australian and her son is the head chef. Great staff and excellent pub food. Will definitely be back
Awesome pub to visit, went during happy hours so pint of little creature pale ale is only 10 bucks with fish and chip goes smoothly! Just small thing the waiter forgot to bring the pepper to the table otherwise would be 5 stars!
Absolutely brilliant. Quiet Sunday afternoon pub with a few locals to watch Formula 1.
Friendly and understanding staff. Kid friendly and accomodating for our 7yr old. Generous and fair staff and a relaxing environment after a crazy week. Wings were good, seats were comfy.
Will visit again when back in Melbourne. :)
Thankyou all for service today :)
We were looking for a place to eat dinner while we had to be in Melbourne. We went past the Royal Standard Hotel and were drawn by the large number of people here. It's easy to see why. The waitress, Lucy, was wonderful and made us feel really at home. She was also really attentive without getting in the way. The atmosphere just felt really friendly. Then came the food. The porterhouse steak my father had was a really good cut and cooked to perfection. It was so tender and juicy. The tuna and mushroom pasta I had (the photo was taken after I'd eaten a lot of it) exceeded my hopes for it. The tuna was tuna steak (not tinned!) and most of it just melted in your mouth. It was also way bigger than I thought. The prices were really good especially for the size. All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable meal.
Great Spot, near to Flagstaff. Lots on menu to choose from, very good prices. We had Scallopini and Pescetore, both large serves and delicious. Staff very friendly.
Great customer service, not super packed, outdoor seating, great food
Staff was exceptionally kind, food was cooked to perfection and portions were more than any of us could eat. We plan on making this a routine family dinner at least once a month!!!
