Grazie Sassy per la cucina italiana più autentica che abbia mai provato a Melbourne! Gli spaghetti alla marinara erano assolutamente perfetti, pesce fresco e tenero, pasta cucinata così bene e la mozzarella di bufala mi ha fatto sorridere al primo morso. Consigliamo vivamente il vostro ristorante e torneremo la prossima volta che visiteremo Melbourne. xx

I ordered the seafood marinara and it was absolutely fantastic! The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the seafood was fresh and flavorful - truly some of the best marinara I've ever had. Everything about the dish was superb. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

🍟 🍟 🍕 groovy - ✌🏻 😋🙂☮️ 5 stars - me and my old pal from TAFE/Uni of many years enjoyed the place and the food wonderfully. It was awesome, and it was an awesome rainy day, we had for a time the whole restaurant almost to ourselves, as it was rainy and replacement rail buses nearby. 5 stars 🤩🤩🤩 and thank you. And thanks for the lemonade and water refills. Awesome attention to details 😋🙂
