Cheap and cheerful lunch destination. Love the variety of vegetarian and vegan options here. Enormous serving sizes so stick to the entree size! Recommended.
A hidden gem in a quieter part of Flinders Lane with great value lunches for the work crowd. Food: This has got to be the best value pasta joints in the Melbourne CBD with most pasta dishes around the $10-14 mark. I had an "entrée"-sized Spaghettie Bosciaola, their version with Bolognese sauce, cream, mushrooms and olives. Not going to win any fine dining awards but it was tasty and ENORMOUS, which is what you really need on a cold working day. It also represented particularly excellent value at a mere $10 with a free can of soft drink thrown in. I really do wonder how they survive the steep CBD rents with these low prices, but I'm not complaining;-) Décor-wise; pretty functional but pleasant and brightly lit. There was also friendly and attentive table service, bearing in mind it is really a lunch bar. I'll be interested in returning to try their other dishes, with steak and seafood mains all below or around the $20 mark.

It's a 3.5. Another slightly low brow excursion. The cafe is bright, airy and spacious and sits nicely elevated on Flinders Lane. It has a good feel to it. I was affably greeted by a charming Argentinian lady who is a long way from home.
I had a hankering for a cappuccino and toast with vegemite and had to ask twice whether the nominated $5 price tag was accurate. To my very great surprise, it was. Actually, looking at the menu on the wall the prices are all low here. Where else could you get barramundi with salad etc for $16.50? Other dishes were similarly very well priced. In most seedy suburban pubs they'd be almost twice that price let alone in a city place. (Can I tell you I'm still getting over an experience at the far flung Doncaster Inn several years ago. I had to drive miles to meet my old friend there - it was his choice - and then paid an extortionate amount for rubbery rubbishy food.)
My coffee arrived in good time but the toast a little later. The coffee was ok but not anything special. The toast was just ok too. The bread was good (I love my seeded) and nicely toasted but a tad more vegemite was needed in my book.
No matter. For $5 you can't complain. I'd actually like to try this place for lunch one time when I have more time. It will happen.
I had a hankering for some good ol’ spaghetti bolognese and ventured into Degraves St to see what my options were. Unfortunately every cafe there was charging upwards to $19 for a such a simple dish! And unless I can be sure they hand make the pasta themselves I am going to pass. So I spent about 10mins trying to locate on Zomato where the other Italian cafes were, browsing by nearby places because I know I’ve seen one around here while planning my future lunch list. I found Cafe Del Corso which was located on Flinders Lane but after crossing Elizabeth St. There was a staff outside handing out vouchers for free red/white wine or soft drink with each meal purchased over $6.50. I didn’t use it because I try to avoid sugary drinks with the exception of hot chocolate, coffee and bubble tea. (Which is just as bad, I know!)
Hole in the wall place and totally unexpected but this bloke makes a great coffee! have tried all the other places on Flinders Lane and his are by far the best! a++
Really great value and good quality food as well. The friendly service was the icing on the cake. I got the chicken schnitzel burger with sweet chilli sauce and I would get it again.
Great breakfast and delicious coffee!
Best risotto in the flinders area. The grilled barramundi is pretty darn awesome as well. The owners are really friendly and always accommodating to any customizations. I come for the food but i come back for their service. And did i mention their prices are probably one of the cheapest in town. A must must recommend for all.
Kept me on corso in the morno. Good on Cafe del Corso for being open at 6 a.m. I got a call at 6:25 a.m. to do a shift on the orthopaedic ward at St. Vincent's Hospital that started at 7 a.m. and I had to dash across town on my bicycle to get there on time. I needed coffee. Corso is cooking while most of Melbourne is sleeping. The bloke running the joint broke away for the woman he was chatting up and banged me out a decent flat white in no time. Corso had an OK selection of sweet pastries -- Mars Bar cake, FTW! Chocolate and caramelly decadence for $4 (which is $2 less than Zouki Cafe charges for the same pre-made thing at its hospital food service operations.) I got caffeined and sugared up the way I like, and I still made it to the hospital in time for handover. A job well done, Corso,
Wow! What a fantastic cafe.. I had the most delicious lunch at Café Del Corso with fresh food and friendly staff. It was very cost effective and it is my favourite place to eat. strongly recommend Café Del Corso!!
Great coffee, friendly staff and a tasty breakfast menu to boot.
Friendly staff. Quick service, although it wasn't a very busy time - just before lunch rush. Food was fresh and delicious and the coffee was nice and mild, just how I like it. Good value too. Definitely return if I'm in the area!
I’m pretty regular here since couple of years. The service is pretty decent and food has consistently been good too. The quantity they provide is total value for money.
Really friendly and prompt service. Delicious and filling meal, lovely environment. Great prices! Heartily recommend you to try it!
Good value for money. Great food. Quick friendly service. Worth another visit.
Amazing authentically Italian food, friendly authentically Italian staff, really fast service! Great place for a quick pickup or long sit down.
Best coffee ever with beautiful lunch and very cheap as well. Love it
