I wandered in with two friends on a Sat night, and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The menu and wine selection is amazing. 10/10 to the freshly homemade pasta and pizza. Such a lovely experience. We will call in again.

The short version. The gnocchi is perfect and the service is epic
.This was an amazing dinner. My girlfriend and I went for a bit of Italian on Lygon. During restrictions limited seating. We didn't have to wait long for a seat. There was a man making pasta in the window and looked too good to miss. We had cheesy arancini (which was a special) entree, an allnido large pizza and a gnocchi Al pesto as our mains to share. The pizza and the arancini were very nice however I have had pizza similar on Lygon before (which means it was amazing ) but the reason to return was the gnocchi which my girlfriend ordered. I am not a big fan of pesto but this was the absolute best gnocchi I have ever had. When we go for Italian it is usually entree pizza and pasta so gnocchi is frequently ordered when we eat. I don't think I could explain the quality and taste a true winner. The final touch was impeccable service food was quick but not like it was pre-made. It was definitely fresh, and the waiters were very polite and friendly. Will definitely be coming back
Beautiful food and amazing service! We ordered the arancini, allnido pizza and pesto pasta. All tasted amazing and we were so blown away by the gnocchi that we got another order for takeaway! Will be coming back again very soon.
fantastic service and food quality. owners are lovely and staff are fantastic. Aboudddddyyyyy
I don't understand the bad score. Food was good, nice ambience first drink was for free, friendly staff, fresh handmade pasta. Garlic bread was not from the supermarket like other comment said.
Went to borsaris with a friend of mine and wasn't disappointed at the kind of food and service I got. The service was impeccable by Veena who was our host for the evening and the food was great! Bonus points for the free drinks and the garlic bread!!
I went there with my friends and I must say Pizza I had was best pizza i ever had in my life. Thanks for extra egg plants on my pizza
We really enjoyed our food. We ordered two pastas and one pizza, all seafoods. The food portion is big and the seafoods are really fresh. Good service and good environment. Will definitely come back again.
Service was really great had a lovely waiter ensuring we had water at all times and helping with food selection. Oysters were very fresh and overall a great meal. Surprised at some of the negative reviews I’ve read on here thankfully after I chose the restaurant as I definitely didn’t have the experience some have described. The only thing that I would fault them is the disgusting dirty bathrooms.
We had reef and beef, gnocchi dish with prawns and spinach as well as fresh oysters.
They claim to give their diners quick, healthy seafood and they are not wrong. Delicious seafood, cooked to perfection- appropriately sized portions and lovely flavors.
Everything is fresh & got delivered on time.
Thanks to team Tono On Borsari & team Zomato.
My girlfriend and I dined here last Monday night after a bit of resturant hopping on lygon street and this was the place that we didn’t want to leave! I can say that we will definitely be back! First off the service was lovely, I think our waiters name is Donny if I remember correctly, he was fantastic. The food was amazing. We started off with half a dozen of each of the oyster types and all were sooo delicious. Then we shared a plate of pasta (I can’t remember what the dish was called) and the prosciutto pizza. Couldn’t fault a thing. You will most likely see us back there this Monday!
We celebrated my daughters birthday last night with friends, and enjoyed the amazing food at Tono on Borsari. The pasta was so fresh and delicious.The risotto was perfect and the pizza's were amazing as usual including the gluten free variety. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was buzzing. Would highly recommend this place as the place to go when dining in Lygon Street.
Amazing food and service! We came here as a group of 30 and the staff were fantastic. Quality of food was also exceptional and we will definitely be back
I don’t mind this place actually! We’ve visited twice now and it’s nothing special but good place to take friends for cheap, acceptable food.
It’s also quiet enough so that you can talk to your friends but without being too quiet
Great food! I had the chicken and mushroom pasta and my partner had the Neapolitana which she also enjoyed. Good service and we were given a free glass of red.
I had a great time with my family for dinner here. The boss has a good sense of humor and was very welcoming. The waiter was very attentive and friendly too! The food was delicious especially the seafood pasta, the taste of seafood covers the whole dish including the sauce and the pasta itself. The seafood is very fresh with its 'bouncy' texture. I will recommend this to my friends
A quiet, decent Italian restaurant on Lygon Street Carlton. Ambience was decent, lot of space to accomodate privacy . Restaurant has a good collection of Red wines.
Entree: Italian bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar , Garlic bread, Potato wedges with sour cream, Calamari deep fried. 7/10
Drinks: Red Wine: Cab merlot 8/10, Shiraz 7/10. Mocktails not listed on menu but the good staff made two Pineapple mocktails for us. Very refreshing 8/10.
Mains: Lamb shanks with potato gravy 6/10, Risotto Pollo was very tasty 9/10, Penne with creamy mushroom sauce 8//10, Tono parma was good too with extra mushroom tomato and egg plant 8/10,Spaghetti Bolognese 8/10, Chicken schitzel 7/10.
Service: Was over all good but for the fact we waited for 45 minutes for deserts and they had forgotten so had to leave without having deserts. Also the bottle of wine they served was not opened at the table .
Revisit: Yes.
Fabulous food best gnocchi marinara ever. Everyone very happy so good didn't take photos. Lovely service, very authentic Italian food. Thank you!
The food is very, very delicious!
The taste is authentic of an Italian handmade food.
The restaurant exceeded my expectations.
It was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to in Melbourne.
There are options for pastas, gnocchi, risottos, pizzas, steaks and etc.
The service was attentive and friendly.
The atmosphere and staff are pleasant.
I will definitely go back many times.
Quite a good Italian restaurant. Highly recommended. The atmosphere is great and there was a guy making fresh pasta on the spot. Quick service and tasty food.
Just had a lovely spaghetti ragu with a glass of wine here, for the second time in as many weeks. The house made pasta was Al Dente & the ragu tasted amazingly good 👍 Topped off with a decent glass of red wine we were very happy.
We found some of the other negative reviews on here quite amusing - perhaps they came for dinner at peak time and didn’t like the long wait?
Late on Sunday night is the perfect time, plenty of tables, fast friendly service from a family restaurant that clearly loves what they do…
