The menu is extensive covering from their famous pizza, pasta, and other main dishes like veal and steak. The buffalo wings are great, it's spicy and tangy. The pizzas are also great although the dough can get a little tough for our liking. The criniti pasta was average and on the bland side. Place is big with multiple rooms and also seating outside.

The pizza is great, the meat platter is great as well
The service is good; doens't take long time to be served even during the busy times, or weekend nights.
I would give it at least a 4+ rates

went back to Crinitis tonight against everyone’s better judgement but my own, they had not had a pleasant experience last time but vowed to give it one more shot. We definitely enjoyed ourselves on this occasion. I stuck with my tried and true gnocchi pesto and it did not disappoint. I’m not sure they are necessarily coverts but there were no complaints (thankfully as it was my restaurant pick). I just think you can’t beat it from an atmosphere perspective


Update
We dined at Criniti’s following a film at cinema nova which was most convenient. The place was absolutely packed but we managed to get a spot in the back. The space here is huge and our area was really funkily decorated (even the bathrooms are all decked out).

The serves are definitely generous and reflect that Italian hospitality you expect of a restaurant near lygon st. Authenticity is a key component of their offerings with all the competition nearby. There is around ten varieties of pasta available and they are all handmade daily which is impressive.

There is also something like twenty different types of sauce to select from so you are definitely spoilt for choice which is why I probably almost always stick with pesto gnocchi- it’s delicious. The only fault was it’s no longer in the entertainment book

Original review
I've been to Criniti's on numerous occasions in Sydney and after years of rumours that they were going to extend into Melbourne finally the Carlton branch arrived. Boy was I disappointed. The staff are actually horrendous, like beyond rude.

Dishes we ordered never arrived, water was requested multiple times and failed to make an appearance and the waiter we had was completely unapologetic. Zero farks given.

In saying that on this occasion I loved my gnocchi but others I was dining with were quite unimpressed. The menu appears to have expanded and they seem to have lost the execution with so many things on offer rather than focusing and specialising in fewer dishes. Three of the four I was with said they would not return so I think that's saying something.

We went last night, made a reservation for 6 and when we got there it was empty. I thought why are we booking? Seated it was nice and the ambience was dim lighting surrounded by memorabilia.
The menu was a little confusing such as a picture what appears to be a can of soft drink $5.9 is actually a glass or a jug for more than double. I quickly chose a glass of Moscato. The food was delivered in a timely fashion and presented great. All eyes followed the seafood skewer come to my table.
The staff we friendly however not in uniform, I feel like maybe there should be unity with the staff and it looked like anyone was serving as they were in casual attire. We didn't get bothered very much. Not sure if that's good or bad. There were a lot of children (school holidays) imagine the price of their bill for soft drink!
The toilets are unisex and the basins are tires which is cool but you'll be trying to wash your hands quick awkwardly when you see the opposite sex.
Didn't get asked about dessert because we knew there's a popular ice cream store across the road.

By the time we left just after the restaurant was full with a queue out the door.

All in all, despite all the terrible ratings it was pretty good food and yes expensive for drinks and sides.
I would probably come back for a date or to spoil your parents.

Staff are welcoming and polite, food was delicious but a bit pricey. The incorrect meals were bought to our table. Staff were quick to resolve this issue though.
Pizza was very yummy and chefs are happy to cater to any individual needs.

Very great dinner at Criniti’s. Extensive menu, and the food is very delicious. Surrounded will be noisy, probably not recommended if you want to have a quiet chat. Overall, definitely recommended!! Service fantastic..

Fantastic food and service. Probably the best pizza I had in years! It’s a shame the atmosphere is ruined by the blatant ‘in your face’ marketing for Nutella!

The pizza was the standout as well as the calamari. The rest of the meal was average, the wine was also great. Our table was very wobbly and nearly knocked our drinks over a couple times. Overall will definitely be back for the metre long pizza and the calamari. Staff were friendly, the drinks ect took too long. Some of our entre’ arrived after our main.

Great location with ambient outdoor seating. As it was quite busy on a Monday night, our food took a while to be ready. The pizza was fantastic. We loved our bbq ribs. However, the grilled seafood platter was a disappointment as it was bland and tasted not as fresh as expected. All in all a good dining experience if you're looking for a place to hang out with friends afterwork.
