About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
A charming pasta and wine bar with cosy ambiance, a sun-soaked Tuscan inspired courtyard and a thoughtful menu of authentic Italian flavours, located in a quaint red brick building on the main street of Yarra Glen.

The menu focuses on a selection of handmade pastas with Nonna-style sauces and slow-cooked classics like Osso Bucco and Eggplant Parmigiana, alongside antipasto snacks. The wine list features a curated selection of local and international wines, beers and cocktails.

Take a seat at a barside hightop for a pre-dinner Negroni and a serve of housemade arancini and Sicilian meatballs, or settle in for a relaxed dinner at a table for two. Larger group bookings can also be accommodated at our communal tables.

The courtyard itself is an idyllic place to soak up the afternoon sunshine over a cocktail with an outdoor wood fireplace and complimentary shawls providing warmth as the evening moves on.

Reservations recommended for peak times, and walk-ins are always welcomed.

    A great evening. My party were the only guests…which was awesome for ambiance, less noise & incredible service. The staff were always attentive, caring & obliging when possible. The food is ‘over priced’we all feel ….& 3 of us had the ‘spaghetti and prawn dish’, & although we thoroughly enjoyed it….there was an abundance of spaghetti versus little amount of prawns 🍤…especially for price. 2 guests had the ‘ossi bucco dish’ with potato mash….which both guests said was awful meat, & the mashed potato was not completely mashed. We certainly appreciate you have a small kitchen, & dishes are limited, but a variety of different desserts (eg: a pudding, or chesscake), would have had me ordering something. The aircon works beautifully, but it was too cool….but your wonderful staff were very accommodating in lowering it for us. We were sitting right underneath a fan l believe. I personally enjoy coming, & appreciate you do the very best you can. My comments are feedback obviously.

    Very disappointed! No complimentary bread, no garlic bread on memu. Serving size very small. We had 2 pasta. One was Luke warm. We had 2 boutique beers and a 10% service charge for a Saturday evening! Wouldn’t recommend or revisit!

    Obviously a busy time when went. Received my entree in a short time but my wife’s was another 25 minutes, at which time I was brought a SECOND identical dish. Sadly it had some foreign plastic in it which the server explained away as “it must be the new packaging on the anchovies”. Anyway, we weren’t charged, and received a free beverage. The food - chutney from a jar is kinda wrong - as is pate not made in house. Everything was way under seasoned and there wasn’t a lot of love in the Osso Bucco. Had high hopes for this place as it’s local to us and a few improvements could make it great. 1. Staffing numbers appropriate to the number of clientele and 2. A cook/chef who tastes the food as it’s being prepared. Thanks. Tony.

    Been there quite a few times. Solid Italian food, solid wine list. Calamari fritti are standout as entree but it’s all solid. Staff friendly, helpful and professional.

    Really lovely place with great ambience. Food, wine and Espresso martini’s went down a treat and tasted good and authentic. Staff very friendly and attentive. Menu was small yet curated which was a good sign. Did not disappoint and will definitely go back next time we are in Yarra Valley.
