My favourite lunch spot in town! Authentic Italian that is consistently amazing! We have a few favourites on the menu (mushroom gnocchi, Morton bay bug risotto), but the seafood linguine tops the list for me.
It is also worth noting that it is a family-friendly cafe with terrific menu choices just for the kids (including child-size hot and cold drinks). Our children are always supplied with pencils and a picture to colour in while we wait; a much appreciated gesture.
My wife and I were cycling around Shepparton and chose to stop for lunch at Little Lipari. It was very convenient to park our bikes on the footpath and eat at one of the outdoor tables on a sunny although cool day. Despite being outside, the staff were very attentive and we quickly had menus and glasses of water. We only had main courses and we chose the gnocchi and seafood linguine. I can't recall the type of meat sauce with the gnocchi but it was delicious. The seafood was also very good. Overall it was a very pleasant dining experience at a reasonable price.
Little Lipari really is an authentic piece of Italy in the heart of Shepparton. Unfortunately I was only able to sample this restaurant 3 times during the week I was in Shepparton for work. The first visit was the Casareccia pasta with pork sausage, outstanding! The pasta seemed home made and the flavour felt like straight out of Italy, which it actually is. Joe, the owner and chef takes great pride cooking front and centre, as the kitchen is located just beside the register. So good we had to return for breakfast. This is where s@*t got real, Franks Sicilian eggs, amazing!! Had to go back the next day for seconds. Possibly the best breakfast I remember having. So full of flavour, not a lot to it, but just amazing flavours!! Even their cold pressed oj was delicious. Coffee is nothing special but definitely not back. All up just an authentic experience that should not be missed in Shepparton. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Met a friend for coffee at 9.00 on a Saturday morning, the cafe was packed with no tables spare. This cafe has a great feel about it and was buzzing with a couple of large groups. Regardless of the amount of clientele there was ample wait staff who were prompt and courteous and our coffee was placed quickly in front of us. Great taste and great temperature and served with a smile. We were asked if we would like a second and again was served in a timely manner and with a smile. Lovely place to visit.
Tried this place based on some friends' recommendations and I must say, I owe them one! I think I found a gem in the heart of Shepparton.
We made a trip to this town during our holiday in Numurkah and I honestly did not expect to find anything so "fresh". From the decor to the wait staff, the drink selection and food served - it could very well take on any of the best Italian joins on Lygon St.
I had the seafood linguine which was perfectly seasoned (I really dislike under seasoned food!) but had a bit more spice than I expected. It was still delish!
Bro had the duck ragout pasta and he claims it tasted eerily similar to the one he had in Italy during his honeymoon.
Mum tried their pumpkin risotto and declared it a winner and dad said their pork hock soup was hearty and delicious.
Even my 3.5yo son gobbled up his ham and cheese toastie with no complaints!
All round favourite in my family - we're obviously gonna have to make another trip to Shepparton!
I adore this place!
Breakfast bacon and egg roll - so tasty!
Lunch is always delicious. Straight to the pastas, risotto and gnocchi!
Gnocchi with lamb ragout is my favourite!
Coffee is always good
Get there early or book. Have been turned away several times when the place is packed
Great little restaurant in Shepparton for breakfast, lunch and special occasions. The food is wonderful and the service sensational. Call in and say hello to Joe and Claire when next in town.
Bellissimo!. My first time here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday. Wow, what a place! The atmosphere was cosy and homely; food was AMAZING and the staff were attentive but not overbearing, even with a group of 11 or so.
This will be my new "go to" spot. I'll be getting a coffee too, as it smelled devine.

Authentic place and delicious food. This "little" place in Shepparton really is amazing. I normally don't write reviews or stuff like that but I had to after visiting Little Lipari a few times. You walk in and feel relaxed, it's one of those places you say to yourself I could stay here all day. Staff are friendly and not overbearing, the coffee was very well made by Alastair, excellent taste. Then comes the food, made from fresh produce by the owner Joe. After a few visits there I decided to watch him cook and plate up and you can see he has a passion for it. The food was so tasty that I did not (or have not left) leave the plate empty. Prices are reasonable too which adds to the value. Don't forget the cakes that Joe makes as well - delicious, and yes you guessed it, with another coffee. A really nice place, a great atmosphere and really well decorated. A must visit to anyone living in Shepparton or passing through.
Have a look at the article in the local paper: http://www.mmg.com.au/local-news/shepparton/shepparton-business-filling-a-gap-1.70165.
Hidden gem in Shepparton.
Good place to chill and relax with your family and friends.
Must try their dessert… very stunning and sweet from them. Taste good 😊 yummy.
If you’re driving through from Melbourne, then stop here for coffee. Little Italian eatery meets antique eclectic- Kooky artwork against exposed brick walls & vintage green stained glasses. Friendly staff, attentive managers, smooth coffee and the Florentine eggs were lovely! Free range eggs with plump & aromatic mushrooms. I would love to see a mini library shelf outside with second hand books for customers reading?
Exceptional food and great service.
I love the no fuss fare that is priced accordingly.
Fresh and tasty.
Service was a bit slow, but they were busy for a midweek lunch! Food amazing, fresh and cooked on site- within sight of diners. Great atmosphere.
Delicious freshly made gnocchi. Very friendly staff.
Will have to come back to try more of the menu
The best food in the CBD. Wonderful owners and staff who can't do enough for you. Also a great selection of wine!
Great cafe with delicious fresh meals - the gnocchi is an absolute winner! Especially the mushroom special.
Outdoor seating abundant and service timely.
Very suitable for lunch with friends or a casual work meeting.
