Wow! Amazing pizza (especially the Contadina - woodfired eggplant, capsicum and zucchini) and beautiful pasta (can recommend the carbonara - made with crispy pancetta) � Such hospitable service too, if you're in the mood for some authentic Italian, give this place a try! I'll definitely be back soon.

Ordered a takeaway from this place with an EatClub discount. The place looks a bit dated and the owners didn’t invest to create a good ambience at this place. Perhaps that is what the restaurant can work on to encourage more people to dine in. I had Low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. Had the di mare pasta and pizza carne. The pasta was seasoned well, had clams, prawns and calamari (though I wish they gave more). The pizza was delicious and it was pity it got cold during the journey back. They need to reduce wait times - we waited nearly 30 mins for our food! Will be back especially given the good discount!
Ordered the arancini balls, margherita pizza and prosciutto pizza. Arancini balls were absolutely delicious with the sauce they used. Margherita pizza was lovely
Thought we would try this out after finding special on fork! Pizza's were great, and we were also introduced to an amazing Hot Chili Sauce (Savage Hombre)! The pasta however was a little dry, but had great taste with the sauce! Would definitely come back for the pizza! Also, service was great with friendly waiters and food coming out without too much of a wait. Will be back!
Ok, the decor is a bit dated but that is more than balanced out by the great service, delicious food and really good prices. You should try the patata tartufata - so, so good.
Only one slightly negative point, the drinks are about 10-20% more expensive than you would expect in this type of place - trying to balance the low meal prices?
Definitely recommended.
We came here as a group of 8 on a Tuesday evening. Staff was really really attentive (especially the owners!!!!) and they made us feel like home! We celebrated our friend's birthday here and staff were really helpful with the plan.
Food was exceptional. The pizza with anchovies and the risotto was top notch. If I were to come back it would be for the pizza with anchovies. It was amazing and we'll be back.
If you’re after a pizza with a light, fluffy and soft wood fired pizza base, than this place has nailed it!!!!
The toppings were a bit hit or miss, but there were some gems available to select from.
Best of all, these pizzas as a whole were easy to eat, easy to digest and didn’t leave you feeling heavy.
Very enjoyable and therefore worthy of a visit!
Came here for dinner tonight for my birthday. Once walked in I was greeted by lovely staff. The owner is lovely he was telling me majority of their food is made in Italy, so being here makes you feel like your in Italy eating authentic food. The staff were very prompt and keen to take our order and the food came out quick smart. Ordered the calamrai for entree which the portion could of been bigger however it was very nice. Other half ordered the chicken snitzel which he loved and the sizing was massive so we cut that in half and took that home. I had a ham, cheese and mushroom pizza (can't remember the name) but it was so delicious it was wood fired, nice thin and crispy with the right amount of sauce and cheese. I will definitely be back as this is my new favourite Italian place to dine.
This was a great relaxed dinner out, the staff and the owner worked very well together, he was training a staff member and it was a fun and interactive experience, lovely people!
They were personable and attentive
The food was fantastic, we got the muscles and risotto... the size of the muscle dish alone was impressive, the white wine and tomato base sauce was really yum!
Thank guys, great dinner out experience.
Food was delicious, particularly the carne pizza and lasagne. Wine list was great with a number of Italian options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Not the most beautiful restaurant interior but the food & excellent value for money definitely makes up for it!
Located on the Main Road .. easily accessible .. bookings are must on the weekends . A nice place for good food ..
Wide variety of menu .. there desserts seemed to be very interesting but unfortunately couldn’t try as the mains and entree was stomach full for us 😬..
tried the arancini balls which was the best I felt when compare to the other places I have eaten.. the pizza which we tried was ‘pizza contadina ‘ which was fresh and delicious . Must try the place when mood for good pizzas
Pizza was tasty but a little bit burned!
Pasta tasty but small portion .
Dessert was great and good size specially Affogato.
Should give 4 star for food but decided to give 5 just for very friendly staff called Kim I guess (if I spell her name correctly!
Delicious food and very friendly staff. We went at 7pm and the restaurant wasn't very busy but that was great for us because we wanted a quiet time. The staff occasionally checked on us to make sure we were OK, which is nice.
We had the Arancini balls & two pastas - Seafood ('Di Mare') and Bolognese. Everything tasted great and you'll leave very full, I would recommend this for dinner :)
Staff and service were awesome 10/10. Must try their Moscato if you are into dessert wines. Caprese is lovely and the pasta would be perfect if it was a bit stronger in flavour. I'd definitely try their pizza and dessert next time. Promising new authentic Italian restaurant, I look forward to returning soon.

I discovered Ciao Ciao Italiano on Dimmi - they had a great 50% of all food, so I immediately made a booking for that night.
When we arrived, it was mostly empty as it was relatively late on a week night.
We were immediately seated and offered some water and menus.
We ordered: Cozze (Steamed Mussel), Calamari, Patata Tartufato, Penne Bolognese, and Pizza Picante (with Hot Salami).
The entreés arrived first and were all presented beautifully.
The Baked Potatoes had a nice crunch on the outside and beautifully-fluffy on the inside. There was a lot of fresh Rosmarin, a good sprinkle of Parmesan, and an irresistible aroma of the Truffle Oil.
Calamari - exactly what you would expect - melting in your mouth and served with Lemon Aioli.
The Mussels were a the star dish here - the White Wine Tomato Salsa had just the perfect amount of garlic. The actual Mussels were cooked to perfection and were to die for. They get served with some nice warm Garlic Bread, which is perfect for dipping into the delicious sauce.
We were then asked if we’re ready for our mains and they arrived shortly after.
The Pizza is from a woodfire. The base was fantastic - charred and chewy - exactly how I like it. The Salami they use is really delicious too, and, of course, there’s a generous amount of Mozzarella on top.
The Pasta was very good too, however, I don’t believe the actual penné was made in-house, which is a little disappointing (if I’m right). The beef was nice and rich. The dish wasn’t very salty either. This is probably the only dish I’d give 4/5.
Together with a Peroni and a glass of Sav, we paid $56, which was fantastic value, thanks to Dimmi.
I have to make a special mention about the service - the girl (whose name, unfortunately, I didn’t get) was from Latvia and was simply fantastic - attentive, yet definitely not disturbing, with a great sense of humour, and a warm, genuine smile. She’s a real credit to this restaurant. The owner came to make sure we were happy too.
Overall, extremely happy and will definitely return without any vouchers.
The best Italian food!! Been here a couple of times in the last few weeks and have loved it every time! Amazing food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Will definitely be going back again. Dessert pizza is a must if you're a chocolate person!
Update: really sad to see their menu had changed and most of the amazing starters and pastas are no longer available. Still great food but the old menu was what had me going back again
Authentic pasta and pizza but was disappointed because most of the items in the menu was not available. So had only limited options but what was served was really tasty and on the mark..
