This place is well worth 10 stars instead of 5.
For a small spaced restaurant, we dined in just before closing on a Saturday night expecting a quick feed and was served an excellent 3 meals instead. The best service and dining experience my s.o. and I have had in years. The owner (?) was so lovely and grinded out all the orders in the one-man kitchen, whilst truly putting all his passion into the dishes. Authentic food and authentic vibes.
Not too bad, I ordered chicken and mushroom pasta here and was quite happy with the taste. It came out with plenty of chicken as well so thumbs up. The overall quantity though was just okay, and combined with the discounted price tag, I feel it's just okay value for money. Without the discount, I don't know if I'll come back again. The food also came out a bit slow, eventhough I was the only one there. But I'd like to think it as they wanted to prepare my meal well.
Happiness is Liven giving you special cash backs for dining in!😋❤️
So happy to work as a diner for @liven_app 🤩❤️ This Circolo Vegetarian Pasta was amazing!
Ratings: 3.5✨
Great Ambience!
Good Food!
I don't know how this place only has a 3 star rating considering everyone's reviews say 4 and 5 stars but whatever, that's for Zomato to sort out. The food here is fantastic, the staff are super cool and friendly and were accommodating to the changes I requested. It's super close to my house and also delivers. Either way, I will definitely be trying everything on their menu!
The best pizza I ever had so far and this is my first ever review I came back to just review how amazing the pizzas here are I thanked the chef and found out the secret behind such delicious pizzas is the the chef is Italian with a experience in Italian cuisine! Great service and great food.
Excellent pizzas, that's why we were drawn here. You could eat the pizza dough just on its own it was so soft and fluffy, the toppings just enhanced the already authentic pizza.
Decor/ambience is a little cold in regards to little music in the back ground and concrete finishes everywhere. Staff very friendly and attentive-highly recommend for some of the best pizza I've had.
The best authentic Margherita pizza in town! Always delivered fast, hot and by friendly staff. All the food is great quality and very reasonably priced
Excellent Italian style pizza. One of the best we had so far. We really enjoyed! Definitely going back. Friendly staff and nice location. Worth to try!
Probably one of the best boutique restaurants in south Melbourne! The pizza is out of this world! As an English man it is very rare for Me to be so complimentary! But everything down to the amazing service to the good quality food makes this one of the best places south of the river! A must do when visiting Melnourne!
Great pizza and friendly service! Have been here a few times, food is consistently good. The pizza punches its weight as one of the best in Melbourne. A local gem!
Great food - especially the omelette for breakfast and the pizza for dinner - and great coffee. The staff and attentive and friendly. We were in Melbourne for a long weekend and it was our favourite eatery
Extremely good pizza (especially the Margharita) and very friendly staff that will go out of their way for you.
Will come here on a regular basis for sure.
Soooo nice and delicious!!! The staffs are always nice and gentle, and the food is very very delicious~! I think this cafe has just opened, so it is not really popular at the moment, but if you try the food once i can say you will come back!!Definitely!!! i think the chef is very professional and he knows how to cook Italian food . We had very nice meal today:)
Great service and good food. Went there and ordered their pizzas. It was delicious and the customer service was excellent
I would highly recommend this if you are in CBD or southbank or st kilda.
The place is nice and tidy and looking forward to going there again
Beat coffee in town! Best customer service. We arrived in Melbourne fairly early in the morning and found this little cafe. Coffee arrived quick, following the breakfast. Cooking for a group of 8, the food was served within a decent time frame. The guy (who we think is the owner) was very attentive. 2 days later, we went to the same cafe. Again, service was great. The same guy discounted 9 coffees off our bill, leaving only the food to be paid for. Allowed split billings as well. Overall, an amazing experience at this cafe. Great variety of breakfast. Would definitely recommend.
Authentic Italian style pizza. Probably some of the best I've had in Melbourne! After having spent a few months in Italy, I have high expectations when it comes to pizza, and these guys really know what they're doing. They also do a great brekkie and other pasta dishes. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and good food.
We came here for lunch last week and we walked out as very happy customers...the service was fantastic and friendly, and the ambience pretty inviting. It was honestly the best coffee I've had in a very long time (coming from a coffee snob who's recently travelled around the world), perfect to the last drop. I ordered a chicken salad and it was absolutely delicious. The salad was fresh, perfectly presented and definitely more than I could eat. The chicken was tasty and cooked to perfection. My friend ordered the chicken burger which didn't disappoint - it was huge, with a very decent side of delicious chips. Something about it makes it top the charts! Definitely worth visiting this sweet little cafe as we can't wait to go back.
On our first visit, was brought here by a friend. We had the pizza which was great.
But the dish that really made us go wow was the linguine with chicken and mushrooms. The cream and white wine sauce was perfect, makes you keep wanting more. Not too thick, not too salty. We came back for the second time and the food was as delicious! Would definitely recommend this place!
Awesome place. Catered to our Vegan needs and the staff are really friendly and attentive. Pizza dough was fantastic, thin and crisp. Toppings were fresh and delicious.
Without a doubt, Circolo serves THE BEST pizza in Southbank and even the CBD area of Melbourne. i used to live along Lygon Street, which is filled with Italian restaurants selling pizza. However, Circolo is MUCH BETTER than most of these restaurants. Their pizzas are moist, flavorful, well seasoned, and uses 100% authentic and freshly imported Italian ingredients (the owner showed this to me). The staff is very polite and attentive and the waiting time is reasonable. Plus, I'm vegan - and the chef was happy to accommodate to my personal request for a specially ordered vegan pizza. :) A+ for their personal touch!I'd recommend this pizza place to any one in the area. Yes, it may be slightly 'off the beaten path' in terms of location, but the quality of food makes it all worth the while!
Best coffee and pizza in Melbourne!!! There's a great pizza variety - it makes you want to order one of each. The coffee is also fantastic, definitely worth the trip to Southbank for this little corner cafe. Ambience and staff are very inviting so looking forward to going back soon with friends. So glad to have found this gem :)
Great little joint a little out of the city. Garlic herb pizza was delicious. Chewy dough. Thin crust. Risottos packed with flavour and some spice. Well cooked. The prawn and salmon linguini was good. But seafood was overcooked as was the pasta. But good flavours. There was a special that night. $25 for a glass of wine and a main. Fantastic value! Even better as the accept the Liven app too

This place is the epitome of the meaning of "hidden gem". Tucked away from busy streets, this tiny restaurant serves great quality meals. Their pizza bases had the right kind of fluffiness, texture and crunch. Flavour of the garlic pizza was excellent; tasteful without being overpowering. The pasta and risotto were just as flavorful; what you would expect from a place declaring passion for authentic Italian food. Menu was fairly priced too, and the service was exceptional. The guy was willing to change the menu for my very picky husband and make him a personalised pizza, but he ended up with a risotto anyways. The fact that the guy was really accommodating was nice. We had a nice quiet Friday night. I highly recommend this place if you're wanting to tantalise your tastebuds.
Pretty good spot. Staff was very nice and friendly and attentive. Service was quick. Food overall was pretty good.
Chose this place for a quick takeaway and because most places were closed after 10 pm. I was pleasantly surprised by the great taste of the pasta I got!
The service is very good and the place is nice. If you like spices this is your place, specially if you like salt.
Update: I'm so glad Circolo is back after locking down for some time. I've tried a bunch of different restaurants and Circolo still has the best pizza, by far.
This is really a hidden gem. It has the best Italian food, the most friendly staff and they use quality ingredients. I highly recommend the Princess (prosciutto) pizza and the garlic pizza, the best choice for lazy Friday nights. The chicken and mushroom risotto is also great.
My friend and I were craving Italian and were excited to find that this restaurant was open late when we stumbled across it online and decided to give it a try. The vibe is a very small restaurant with friendly staff. I ordered the Garden pasta while my friend ordered the Spaghetti Marinara and can say that we were very pleased with our meals. I was surprised at how flavoursome my vegetarian dish was. Already looking forward to my next visit.
