We ordered Tonda delivery and fantastic service.
We absolutely loved the dishes - filled gnocchi with truffle cream, spaghetti marinara and a prosciutto pizza.
Growing up eating Italian dishes regularly at home and at grandparents, I loved how authentic the flavours were.
Amazing dishes, perfect.
Will definitely be ordering again and dining in when possible.
In January my boyfriend and I dined in for the first time and instantly loved the pizzas (mushroom and i think pork), calamari and polenta chips. We told our friends how good it was and still rave on when someone asks where the best pizza is. So I decided to book for a few friends in the outdoor area the next month for my birthday- our friends enjoyed it. During COVID we ordered takeaway pizza to have a date night in, best decision ever because we cant fault the service and supporting local businesses during a hard time.
We visited Tonda Italian for dinner last night and it was really good. The food was fresh and tasty and service was super friendly. Loved the atmosphere... very comfortable and the type of place you could sit at for hours sipping on wine and eating dish after dish of proper Italian food. We had the lamb ragu pasta (perfection), pear, balsamic and cheese salad and the lamb pizza. All dishes were full of flavour but the pasta was the hit of the night. So light and moreish. Can’t wait to visit again :)
The service is great! Love the fairy light's in the restaurant😍. The lamb ragu never disappoints, great Italian food! The only thing I'd have to say desserts are pricey here and the wine could be better.
Have been wanting to try this local restaurant after hearing great reviews about it, and it didnt disappoint! From the minute my husband and I walked in, we were greeted with friendly and welcoming staff which always makes a great first impression. The food was beautiful, fresh, tasty and just enough. My husband had one of the specials which was a t bone steak, and it was cooked perfectly. Great food with fantastic service so will definitely be recommending to family and friends :)
Love the food, very attentive and great service! I will be back soon 👍🏻
I attended Tonda with my parents and I was impressed with the whole night. The staff was friendly and warm and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming
We had the bruschetta and the arancini for entrée. I loved the arancini. They were small but so full of flavour.
I had the stuffed gnocchi for main. Amazing! So light so full of flavour but not too rich and overpowering. My parents had the gnocchi with Napoli sauce and the risotto Pescatore. Both were amazing.
To Finish off we had the blood orange gelato for dessert. So refreshing and a great way to end the meal
Its a local restaurant that is well worth your time and money. I will be back to try that gnocchi with the Napoli and the dessert menu for sure!
AMAYZING! Some of the best Italian food in Melbourne. Service great. Wine list fabulous.
Greeted by Lisa and immediately felt like we were with family. Started with and Aperol Spritz , on the house , followed by a beautiful antipasto platter.
The Spaghettina with Granchio was the popular dish , so simply went with the flow . Absolutely no regrets. It was delicious. The pasta could be a bit more ‘. Al dente ‘ but this didn’t lessen the quality of the dish.
Dessert was a share platter and the Pavlova in particular , was beautifully presented.
All in all , we loved it and will be back with a bigger party.
Grazie Lisa. A presto.
Preston should be very lucky to have a beautiful, authentic Italian restaurant like this. Home made pastas melt in your mouth, tasty pizzas and focaccias, great food all around.
Excellent atmosphere and impeccable service. The primary woman leading the floor was so wonderful.
Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I cannot get enough of the food at this beautiful restaurant! Not only are the staff friendly and wonderful , the food is amazing !! Every time , it’s constant delicious Italian food , huge portions and very reasonable price !!
The staff can’t do enough for you and nothing is an effort or problem for them .
The deserts are also amazing ! The atmosphere is so lovely and inviting also !! If could give more then 5 stars ⭐️ I would !! If you haven’t tried this little gem in Preston your missing out !!!
Second time dining at this restaurant. Our friend took us here the first time, we ordered pasta and pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it. This time we had steak and a "Seafood platter" which they build up with seafood of your choice. We were WOWed! Thanks so much to Alister, the waiter who served us! Your recommendations were spot on and your service was meticulous ☺☺
Honestly best Italian food I've had in a very long time. The fresh homemade pasta is seriously so delicious. Service is so welcoming and warm. You can tell everything is made with so much love. Such a great vibe. Make sure you book in advance because they book out very quickly. Do yourself a favor and get the tiramisu! Yummy! 10/10
Scrumptious food, great service and down to earth atmosphere! Will be going back again to introduce others to this fine establishment.
Every time I come to Tonda it never disappoints. The antipasto platter is a must and I always struggle to choose from the amazing pasta dishes. I highly recommend the seafood pasta. Lisa and her team always provide amazing food and service. Best Italian in Melbourne!
Stuffed gnocchi was amazing and the young waiter who attended to us was lovely. All of our food was delicious and sticky date pudding was incredible. Majority of staff are super friendly with the exception of one - sorry but it's not nice to be ignored while standing in the doorway waiting to be seated and then have the eftpos shoved in your face while leaving to pay.
