CARBONI'S ITALIAN KITCHEN REVIEWS

We had the most fabulous dining experience here tonight for my husband’s birthday. The service was impeccable and the waitstaff went above and beyond to ensure the night was memorable. A small misunderstanding in our order was handled without issue. We felt our evening was very special ( as did all the other patrons I’m sure). We look forward to our next visit! Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and I found great options- I chose the chicken and it was delicious.

My partner and I went out for our anniversary and enjoyed both of our meals. Our waitress (Crystal) was very welcoming and professional. Very happy with the outstanding service she provided. Thank you.

Best Italian restaurant and excellent service. Just make sure booking online before you go to the restaurant.

Stopped in to satisfy the craving for a carbonara at Table 48 and they did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious carbonara, delicious garlic focaccia, generous portion and reasonable price. Would definitely come back.

It’s amazing service and food in Ballarat, thank you for your service and providing excellent food in this area. The seafood pasta has lobster omg!!! So yummy, and the bolognaise is fantastic too.

LA PORCHETTA BALLARAT REVIEWS

Probably the best La Porchetta I've ever had. I got delivery so can't say what it's like inside. I love the little side box for the chips keeping it neat and delicous. The only La Porchetta that I've ever gotten complimentary rolls. I'm impressed enough to leave a review. Excellent job.

Dined in as part of our umpire group. The speed of service, quality of food and customer service was second to none and all our umpire group was very impressed with your ability to cater for a large group. Highly recommend.

Delicious food and service and best vibe for Italian food in Ballarat.
