I am a new customer this evening, ecstatic with this find! I had a gluten free and vegan margarita pizza, I added olives and artichokes... my friend had a fruit de mare with anchovies and we both went to heaven. Carosello are my favorite for gluten free vegan pizza on a Tuesday in the inner north west delivered by uber eats, hands down, happy customer :)
Some may think a bit pricey depending on what your average price / budget is for meals but worth every cent for not only the food but the service also! Will be making more regular appearances for dinner. First experience could not have gone Any better. Did I mention how delicious the food is and how friendly and polite the staff are?
One of the best classic margherita I have evr had. Amazing creamy cheese and sweet tangy tomato just melt in the mouth. Definitely going back for more.
Amazing fresh seafood on a wood fire base. Plump prawns, juicy mussels and non rubbery calamari topped with fresh basil.
Best seafood pizza.
situated perfectly near public transport, serving amazing food, with amazing customer service & beautiful decor what else could you want ?
Had the best pasta of my life at the recommendation of the waiter which kudos to you it was amazing. the owner himself came ensured we were taken care of, even grated a block Parmesan for my pasta which was a cool little extra touch which was gave it that little extra personal touch.
Very highly recommended

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 STAR ALERT! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thats right people... we have a rarely given 5 star restaurant thats perfect for dinner in the north of Melbourne.
Carosello is conviently located right accross from Moone Ponds train station, your a myki fair away from great food, a warm atmosphere and the most cheerfull of hosts to welcome you in and reveal his OCD habit of keeping all the cutlery on a perfectly 90 degree straight and orderly angle.
Our party of 4 ordered the margherita pizza and Patate E Salsiccia pizza both topped with 600 day ages san daniele prosciutto and the Linguine marinara. But if you are so inclined, there is a secret little menu tucked away in the owners head which contains a homemade gnocchi with creamy mushrooms.
Mr S ordered some coke to go with his pizza (cause coke always goes with pizza the way that coke always goes with Pablo Escobar). But instead got a Italian Cola called MoleCola that was not too shabby and in theme with the restaurant.
Food arrived and EVERYTHING was delicious. The pizzas, the pastas and after straightening our cutlery for the 452nd time, the owner strongly urged us to let him bring us some homemade bread to dip into the pasta sauce like you do at mummas 👌
The food, the drinks, the service and even the decor was spot on so therefore we rate this bello mio a perfect 5/5.
Will we be back? 100%
But next time im turning the knives on a 84 degree angle on every table just to play with the owners head 😈
Mmaaatteeee this place is unreal !!!
Been to Jordan’s place Carosello three times now and forgot to do a review. This place right from ordering a table was a unbelievable experience it’s literally felt like we were part of the family. The food is incredible arancini is to die for !! The meat balls are homemade and flavour packed !! The pasta is made fresh and the ragu Far out its the best. The only photo I had was of the mixed grill and let me tell ya it’s the best one I have ever had !! Seriously eating here you won’t leave disappointed or hungry. BIG SHOUT OUT to you Jordan you are the man thanks making this place so welcoming
Just one of my favourite restaurants! Food is always of the highest quality and the service is incredible. This place just has no faults, highly recommend!
Great local restaurant. Menu full of the old faves as well as delicious standouts (Moreton Bay Bug Risotto and Duck Agnolottti).

My partner and I called in here for dinner. The service from the waiter was excellent.
I order the duck pasta (can’t remember the exact name) which was delicious, I just wish there was more of it lol
The pasta was al dented and the duck perfectly cooked.
My partner ordered some fettuccine meatballs and once again the pasta was al dente. The meatballs were big, and full of flavour, although just a little dry, I guess because they were so large. The tomato sauce was good too.
Overall though this was a pretty solid experience.
Previous review March 2017
Inspired by some reviews that I have read on Zomato it was time to visit this restuarant. The biggest drawcard was the Papparadelle Ragu w beef cheek as the photos looked amazing.
My friend and I made a boooking and we were lucky that we did as the restuarant was almost completely booked out at 6pm. Anyway, the service here was excellent, w a lovely waitress serving us.
Obviously i had the Papparadelle Ragu w beef cheeks and it was simply amazing!! Absolutley delicious, this is the best pasta that I've ever eaten. Wow!!! haha
My friend had the Fettuccine (wagyu) meatballs and was equally impressed. This place was wonderful, what an exciting experience to try authentic italian food in Melbourne. YUMMMMM hahaha
I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes when I have more time, i.e. when I am not rushing off the races! lol. I can defintely recommend this place for an amazing foodie experience but don't forget to book.
@ristorantecarosello The home of traditional pizza and pasta and the sister restaurant of @pacinosrestaurant Loved the wide variety on the menu and decided to go with the linguine marinara and it did not dissapoint. It was simple and yet delicious.
I have been to this Restuarant a number of times. I held my daughters christening there as well as many smaller dinners.
I honestly cannot speak highly enough of the food , the service, the atmosphere, the friendliness of the owners and in particular Jordan who is worth the price of entry as his magnetic personality is an experience worth seeing in particular he does a good Tony Montana impersonation from scarface. You also might be lucky enough to feel his arm muscles. Just walk past and he flexes his arms in a second like a trained model. He loves to show off a bit and strut around with a swagger. 🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful man
I would give this an absolute 5 out of 5 and I would give Jordan an A+ for his personality and his welcoming ways #prestoncoinlaundry
Ideally located , Carosello is the most popular Italian restaurant in Moonee Ponds.
Offering deliciously prepared wood-fired pizza's and traditional pastas.
The menu has a variety of Starters, Grilled meats, Pastas, Mains, Sides, kids meals and a variety of drinks.
The setting is welcoming and nicely decorated, with indoor and outdoors eating area.
The service provided by staff is beyond excellent and food is not just served in a reasonable time, but it is also very well presented.
Carosello is definitely the go to place in Moonee Ponds when it comes to delicious Italian food, great service and fantastic ambience..
Food never disappoints! Our favourite. Menulog made us wait almost 2 and half hours for delivery. When I rang the owner who spoke empathized. For that I would add an extra star if I could.
I love love love this restaurant! This is my fifth visit. Friendly staff and amazing food! If you want to go to an Italian restaurant in the Moonee Ponds area, I recommend this restaurant:)
By far one of the best squid ink pastas in town. Excellent friendly and attentive service !! Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu
Great food. Can get really busy. Be sure to book.
A friendly and warm experience. Staff are attentive and lovely. They treated us and our 2 year old daughter like family and it was only our first time. Food was gorgeous. Nice cosy environment.
We will definitely return.
5 stars ⭐️
Nice place for quality pizza and pasta, well-sized servings, friendly, welcoming staff.
First time dining here and definitely not the last. Service was excellent and the food delicious. It was my husband’s birthday and the staff went the extra mile by placing a sparkler on his dessert and singing happy birthday. A lovely touch.
