We got really lucky with a walk in and got one of the last tables available. Within wanted to try this place and the pasta did not disappoint. Would have to say that the appetisers were the star of the show, unfortunately the risotto was a little undercooked. Also, the squid ink pasta was amazing. Really liked the Bombolini too. Two of us ate 3 appetisers, 1 side, and 4 carb dishes!!! Oh, the lengua was really well done.

Amazing dining experience.
Place was packed but we were lucky enough to score a table outside.
Heater was running and it wasn’t too cold.
Food was amazing.
The entrees as well as the mains.
We had:

Salami 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 extremely delicious and my favourite appetiser.
Lingua, ox tongue 🔥🔥🔥🔥 good and full of flavour
Barbebietola🔥🔥🔥🔥delicious but portion could have been a little bigger.

Mains were Tortelli, Tagliolini and Mafaldine of which all were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 but again, portion size was a little small.
Loved the spicy and seasoning on all dishes - it was perfect.
All in all a good night out and totally worth it!

Great atmosphere, nice service, chef is amazing. Plus, their food will never disappoint you. I would not give any recommendation. Simply random any entree and pasta, they would surprise your taste bud. Their food pairing is 👍 & 🤩.

Perfectly cooked pasta, as expected, beautiful sauces, the lingua ox tongue was delicious tender and so so tasty! Calamari was beautifully paired with fennel and mussel that was YUMMY! Zucchini flowers were fine, nothing amazing, could definitely have used more flavor. Squid ink pasta was definitely my favorite and well worth the recommendation, so much taste of the ocean in one plate.
Beautiful plates of food overall and well flavored.

Food was excellent as always!! Very consistent in their cooking and also cooking delicious pastas! Just came back from Italy/Florence and I still think Tipo00 pasta’s overall more flavourful than most Italian places! Must trys:
1. grilled ox tongue, balsamic & pink peppercorn
2. Spaghettini — Skull Island tiger prawns, anchovies & broccolini
3. Gnocchi di patate — braised duck, porcini & pecorino pepato
The tiramisu wasn’t impressive - the classic tiramisu is way more delicious than their modern version of tiramisu! So def don’t recommend this.

This place was full of business types pre COVID but now full of tourists. Fortunately the food has not suffered too much. Delicious sauces on the food combined with perfectly cooked pasta. The “polpo” entree was a standout as were both mains…. the special bug tagliolini and the menu listed duck gnocchi both delicious and excellent. The portion sizes are slightly on the small size but if you are not worried about the high prices here it means you can eat more!!

Unfortunately the wait staff were not up to the level of the excellent food, being quite indifferent to supplying any kind of service whatsoever….. only seeing them when food was served. At these prices you would expect a higher level of service.

The atmosphere was rustic and noisy with hard surfaces bouncing sound around.

Overall worth a visit if you are in the area but at these prices you have other excellent choices in Melbourne.

Delish!!! We could not fault any of the meals we had and the service was exceptional and personal. We rarely tip but we had to tip this service, it was really great. A highlight was the truffle mushroom risotto, it really hit the mark. Only critique is that the portions were a little small for the price, especially if you are sharing, overall, would recommend and will definitely be back. ❤️❤️

I recently dined at this Italian restaurant and it was a delightful experience. The pasta dishes were cooked to perfection, and the main focus of the dish was always the pasta itself, which was a refreshing change from other Italian restaurants. The service was top-notch, our waiter went above and beyond to accommodate us by moving our table outside and splitting our pasta dish without even being asked.

The ambience was cozy and welcoming with a friendly staff and an open kitchen. The menu had a variety of options to choose from, and I was pleasantly surprised with the unique flavors and textures each dish offered. It was clear that the chef took great care in preparing every dish that came out of the kitchen.

I highly recommend this restaurant and suggest making a reservation in advance. It may seem a little on the pricier side, but trust me, the quality of the food and the attentive service make it worth it. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious pasta dishes and enjoy the warm atmosphere once again.
