An absolutely fabulous meal and the Italian wine was excellent also. A great place to dine and have fun with wonderful staff.
Absolutely the best Italian food I've had in Melbourne and I've been to alot including just having returned from Italy. The food is authentic, delicious and the service is outstanding can't wait to come back.
So delicious, best Italian meal we have had in a long time. So much to choose from will have to go back many times to try all that seems amazing on the menu. And then there’s the pizzas and calzones which looked incredible. Staff so friendly. What a great night.
Fantastic local authentic Italian restaurant headed by Bruna and her talented husband who make mouth watering pizza, pasta and the not to be missed zuppa di pesche. We have been many times. Always impressed
Nestled amongst the middle park cafe life is this amazing Italian spot! Pizza, Pasta, Salads, Desserts or just a coffee ... nothing will disappoint! Owners are so lovely & authentic ... will definitely be back again!
Home made gluten free pizza....I am lost for words....it was sooooo light and fluffy. will definitely head back there soon to try some other toppings.
Really nice staff, with a variety of food from all over italy. It has the best pizza in the area and would definitely recommend for a good night out.
Probably the best pizza in the neighborhood, other Italian dishes good too.
The place may be very busy Friday and Saturday nights, so makes sense to book.
A lovely quaint restaurant with the traditional Italian setting - the courtyard and the old house gates.
we swede greeted by every staff member on arrival, including the chefs. They’re all super kind and attentive. The food is lovely. The antipasto selection could have been more broad however we had the tricolour salad to share as an entree. Very simple, but tasty.
For mains we had a pasta each. I had the gluten free gnocchi with lobster, cherry tomatoes and chilli. It was really tasty and I was happy with my choice. The pasta was beautifully cooked. The sauce wasn’t heavy at all.
I will come back for sure!
Great casual place for great Italian fare. I had the pappardelle and some crazy pizza he made up for me, that tasted amazing. we also had the pipping hot small bread made in house with prosciutto and a cream cheese (amazing). Some local Italian wine and all was good.
Turnaround time was reasonable , if it's busy don't expect to be fed in 15 mins.
I'm always impressed when we go to this cosy little local spot. I recommend the mushroom pizza and also the antipasti. Really authentic. Will be back soon :)

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful meal with friends at Tacco & Tosca - easily the best Italian in the Middle Park area.
The food was great, but the service was truly wonderful. Very accomodating to families with children - colouring books, coloured pencils and offers to hold babies while parents ate (an offer that was accepted at other tables).
We began with a Margarita Pizza - above average (4) and enjoyed by all.
We enjoyed the Burrata E Pinzimonio (4) and Friselle, Pomodoei E Bufala (4) as antipasti - they were even better when the Burrata with olive oil and aged balsamic was combined with the Friselle (a different take on bruschetta). Combined together it was the best thing I ate that evening and rated a solid 5.
We ordered Orecchiette Pasta with Bolognese Sauce for my daughter, but it was served with Napoli Sauce. She still enjoyed it, as did we (3.5).
The Gnudi - large homemade gnocchi of spinach and ricotta, served with burned butter sauce, sage and grana cheese - was rich and delicious (4.5) even though it didn't look or taste like we expected it to.
The Pappardelle Alla Chiantigiani was the only dish that fell short of expectations (3). The pasta itself was good, as was the diced brisket, but it didn't come together as well as their other dishes.
Overall, a very enjoyable meal and a solid recommendation - especially for families.
This is the place to go if you crave for high quality Italian food and friendly service. Great selection of wood fired pizza , pasta and seafood. The steak was amazing too! Thanks for the great evening!
WOW!! Tacco & Tosca is the place to go if you want some OUTSTANDING Italian Food! The service is absolutely exceptional alongside with the fantastic food. I rate this restaurant a 100/100 can’t wait to go back!! ⭐️✨✨
Loving the pop up take away store front at Tacco and Tosca. Rich nutty long blacks, perfect chai lattes with beautiful fresh baked bread and home made pastas. The gluten free pasta is wonderful, gnocchi to die for and lasagna tray a little beauty.The best part though, the people, warm friendly and genuinely caring. Support your local business and grab a gelato while your at it
I can't rate this place highly enough. Not only is their food amazing, authentic Italian - but their service is friendly and they bend over backwards for their customers. Thank you 💞

Very nice atmosphere and great selection of Italian cuisine. Perfect for small family catch ups or dinner with friends. Quiet location. The outdoor area is very nice and reminds me much of an Italian osteria or taverna. Friendly staff!
Real authentic Italian pizza, gelato etc and
if l you want to practice your Italian this is a great place to come (of course they speak perfect English but are more than happy to converse in Italian if you wish)
They have good covid safe measures in place too! Very friendly and great food, a lithe taste of Italy.
The best food we have had in a long time! So looking forward to coming back here already. The staff are so friendly, accommodating and quick.
What a nice place to try!!... food is amazing, place is nice and cosy and service as well, always smiling, took a while to arrived but hey... you need to be patient, quality take time. I’ll be there again soon, calzoni and pizzas super nice 👌
