tutto bene👍
The food is amazing, definitely come to have beautiful Italian food that is authentic and delicious. This restaurant never disappoints me, everything is amazing.
Ele and his team hosted a large group of us for an early Xmas lunch. Great food and service, and we had a private room at one corner of the restaurant to ourselves - which was also much appreciated
Great place for Christmas party
Service was great. Good space, would recommend. I like the carbonara
Excellent friendly service Great food Really good atmosphere
Right next to the northern Melbourne station, you are delighted w an authentic Italian restaurant. Perfect for a date night or a family night out w aesthetics bar for a little drink. We ordered two pizza and two pastas, with each one surprising us but the most amazing dish had to be the tiramisu. Can’t forget the amazing service w each and every staff giving us friendly vibe that fills the room with laughter.
We had a wonderful meal. The Gnocchi was amazing❤️. Fabulous service and enjoyed the music in the background. Sassy Italian was recommended by our Hotel and surpassed our exceptions. Would highly recommend dining here.
Love the view, vibe, food and staff! Also with affordable price! Will definitely come back again:)
Amazing food but even better service! Thank you so much for being so great to us on late notice, you made our night and I’ll be forever grateful. We appreciate it so much, everything was beautiful. I love the food, I love vibe and love the music! We’ll be back again 🙏
Walked in at almost 9pm and they were still serving, had an amazing blue swimmer crab risotto and even though they were close to closing and I was the only one there I was still offered dessert and not felt rushed to leave. Attentive, smiling servers and fantastic food (the tiramisu is delightful).
We did have a very lovely meal here, it was memorable dinner. Penne Arrabiata is Ele’s recipe which is quite excellent and it is the signature dish we would do it again. Also, arancini is super nice as well!
Incredible dining experience as the ambiance was perfect with quality food. My family was completely impressed with Ele and his team's excellent service. As this is our 1st day in Melbourne, Ele went extra miles to recommend us some good places. He is really helpful and nice! Sincerely appreciate!😊
A couple friends and I came down to Melbourne from Brisbane for an ‘Eating Holiday’ and I’m so glad this place made it onto the list. Ele waited our table and was simply delightful, bantering with us and making sure we were satisfied. The tiramisu is not to be missed (and I’m not usually the kind to buy desert out) and Ele even gave us a garlic and herb focaccia on the house. Thanks so much for the delicious food! We’ll be back next time we’re in town 😍❤️
My wife and I had dinner here for the first time, and the food wasn’t too bad! We had a really nice table with a view of Docklands and the bridge and that was a nice unexpected surprise! We started dinner with Bruschetta moved on to Pizza prosciutto, a lasagna for my wife and ending the night with a Tiramisù. The Bruschetta was nice, in my opinion wasn't really an Italian Bruschetta but more like Australian, mozzarella, onion, tomato, balsamic glaze a classic Australian Bruschetta. Nice but in my opinion not typical Italian Bruschetta. Pizza Prosciutto was delicious! Loved it ! Lasagna was different, had some interesting ingredients in it, such as capers. The Tiramisù was absolutely amazing!!! The service was also great.
Wow 😮 This is our favourite Italian restaurant. The food and service is excellent . The extra duty of care taken by Ele is above and beyond I have ever seen in a restaurant. We celebrated my daughter’s 21st with a family dinner at short notice. But he was very attentive and we couldn’t fault any of the food and service we received. We highly recommend the meatballs, pasta, fish, meat ,pizza etc. Everything we ate was amazing and full of flavour. Please do yourself a favour, you need to checkout this restaurant if you’re in the area, you will not be disappointed. Thanks to the whole team for a fantastic dinner and hope to come back very soon 😊🥰
