Beautiful location, amazing staff & authentic Italian food. The BEST Lasagne I have ever had... seriously
Beautiful location in a stunning Italian garden filled with fruit trees and herbs. The menu changes which is usually a good sign, using whatever fresh ingredients they have. Their pastas are amazing. Just be warned, the wait time is long. Both times I’ve been here it’s been nearly an hour for our food, and over 20 minutes for coffee. Freshly squeezed juice, however, came in normal time (
Most beautiful, unique setting in an old catholic primary school classroom-think high ceilings, polished floorboards, huge windows making the places feel so spacious. There is an oven cooking continental pastries fresh in front of your eyes...with the smell all around. The garden setting is truly beautiful with fig trees, fruit trees, herb gardens...so pretty and with towering bluesotne church in your view, it feels as if you are in a little village. You should make this a destination place for coffee...its so unique. Oh and the coffee? Magnificent.
Best pastries, hands down. Super authentic Italian, we’ve gone back countless times to have the custard donuts, sometimes even stopping to have two ! :)
This really is a hidden gem in South Melbourne - really wonderful Italian fare, including first class pasta dishes. It's run by charming Italian people and is family friendly. They bake bread and pastries on site. I'm going back ( I've walked past too many times - now I know )
This is a hidden gem.
But, no licence and no wine! In spite of a wine list shown under photos.
Great ambience, excellent food, genuine hospitality.

Just fantastic! Everything from the service, to the food and the coffee is just on point at this new cafe in South Melbourne. Amazing, will become my new local.
A real hidden gem. You wouldn't otherwise know this place existed. But it has an awesome courtyard if you have active toddlers etc. food is great.
Authentic Italy in South Melbourne - no need to say anymore but some of the best pastas, cakes from true Italian chef - our favourite and you could be in the middle of Italy
