loved every minute, what a fantastic find on Fitzroy Street!
Came with 50% off on Dimmi and had an amazing experience! The service was very affable and jovial! We loved the house made bread that started the night (we were cheeky and refilled 3 times and they didn’t deny us!) The Kingfish had lovely flavours with the grapefruit although the texture of crunchy celery on the fish was a bit out of place. The standout small dishes was the quail on top of a “porridge” mash (which I sussed out is parsnip) is ridiculously creamy! The pork belly was also so tender and a generous portion for a small plate. Unfortunately, they forgot our order for the lamb shoulder which was recommended by the waiter. Even though, we went on a Dimmi reservation they were still willing to comp the dish due to the delay -above and beyond service! The pumpkin and goats cheese risotto had great flavour but was missing the crunchy element of hazelnuts which was included on the menu. When we told the waiter, he seemed a bit confused and said he would ask the chef. We enjoyed the dish anyway. For so much quality food for under $50 for two people, we can’t complain! This is a place with funky decor and delicious quality food! Will be back to try the Mulloway and fresh pasta next time 😉
A great neighbourhood gem revived by new owners Lachie and John. Tolarno’s decor is beautiful, warm and inviting. To top of off their food is exceptional! We visited this place in a group and tried a lot of the menu (because we couldn’t decide) and everything was amazing - pumpkin risotto, pork belly, sirloin, Mulloway filet and eggplant ragu to name a few. We will definitely be back!
What a find. We visited on a Dimmi special which gave us 50% of food. I had the Pork Belly starter and Pressed Lamb shoulder which were both superb. Wine and beer was very reasonably priced too. We will definitely be back here and would happily pay the full price. Great service too guys.
Thank you.
I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this place! On a dimmi special, the value for quality was fantastic. The food and the service were both excellent and exceeded my expectations 🍸🍴.
I loved it so much that I’ve booked to go again, two nights in a row! - just so I can taste the dishes I didn’t get a chance to order 😝.
I do believe the chef is now different from the one mentioned in previous posts, and the menu has changed also. But seriously good 👍🏻

What a night! Service was second to none and the ambience was beautiful. Then the food was mouth watering. Try the chicken ribs! Will definitely be frequenting this place. Highly recommend
The food was incredible. Location is stunning, and service was great. Excited to return. Yum yum yum! Really happy with our overall experience.
Great renovated space, the food and service is excellent. The bar has great events every night and we have been a few times, its great to have it back!!
Great fresh food and even though the menu isn't huge, there were several things I could have tried. Not many vegetarian options. I loved the acoustics and I could actually hear my friends to have 5-way conversations despite the restaurant being nearly full. I have been twice and enjoyed both times.
