TIPO 00 REVIEWS

Tipo 00 in Melbourne is a gem of Italian dining. The duck pappardelle is simply incredible—the pasta texture is flawless and the flavors are rich and memorable. The ambiance is small yet bustling, with so much energy that you can’t help but love the vibe. It’s the perfect spot for a lively, authentic meal that feels like a little slice of Italy. A must-visit for anyone craving delicious pasta and a vibrant pasta bar experience.

Never seen this place without a line waiting in front. Now I know why!!! Amazing Italian dishes. Yes I had to say Italian because of its authenticity. The beef tongue thing is a good way to kick start dinner. Best pork ragu pasta I had so far, the meat is juicy, flavourful and hit all the right notes.

One of the best pasta restaurants in Australia. Great casual fine dining atmosphere. The squik ink pasta and the truffle risotto were amazing. Great combination of flavour and texture. Desserts were also amazing.

GROSSI FLORENTINO REVIEWS

Honestly one of the best Italian restaurants we ever been. Made us feel like we were back in Italy. The food was really delicious and the service too. Staff were very carrying and friendly. Really recommend if you want a true 5 star Italian experience . And thank you for the little present . We Will definitely be back when we visit Melbourne again.

From the moment we stepped in the door, the staff were amazing, so attentive without being overbearing. We felt like a long lost relative being welcomed home. The food itself was incredible, such flavour in each dish was incredible.

Alex the sommelier was fantastic, very knowledgeable, even giving us details of the various wines we had when leaving. Best dining experience in a long time. Can’t wait to come back.

VAPIANO FLINDERS LANE REVIEWS

Food and drink is amazing. Deborah gave the best service I have ever received in a restaurant. If I had a child I would want them to marry Deborah. When I have kids I hope they grow up to be exactly like Deborah.

Fantastic service from the female waitress! She was very kind and attentive! The food was delicious and good value for money! The ambience is perfect for a girls night! Must try their cocktails too.

Had a beautiful lunch here with my partner to celebrate a birthday. We were lucky enough to recieve a complimentary tiramisu, too! Food was absolutely stunning. We will be back.
