My very favourite Italian bar/restaurant in all of Melbourne. Wonderful specials complement the seasonal menu. The staff are very friendly. It's not too noisy inside. The drinks menu is balanced across a range of wines/spirits/aperativos. Outstanding value given the quality of the food, service and atmosphere.
