“We tried many dishes here. The scallops were great really enjoyed that dish. The palm heart dish looked immaculate it was enjoyable. The serving sizes were both very generous. The salmon & calamari were both delicious. Loved the beetroot salad. The iceberg was ok the cheese flavour was too strong for me. Overall it's a great restaurant. The food is tasty, clean & fresh ingredients. Would recommend”

“One of best pasta I've ever had - the lobster pasta was cooked perfectly and taste amazing. Service was friendly and attentive. Popular restaurant with the locals, so reservation is a must as the restaurant is small. Highly recommend this place for a nice night out 🍝”

“Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Cosi Bar Ristorante, nestled in the vibrant South Yarra neighborhood of Melbourne, is a true gem among Italian eateries. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and genuine Italian hospitality. The décor, with its white tablecloths, dim lighting, and classic black and white Italian cinema playing in the background, instantly transported me to the heart of Italy. The menu, which features an array of traditional Italian dishes, is a testament to Cosi's commitment to authenticity. I started with the Insalata Caprese, a refreshing combination of ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil, drizzled with the perfect amount of olive oil. For my main course, I opted for the Spaghetti Carbonara, a classic dish executed to perfection. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the creamy sauce, infused with eggs, pancetta, and pecorino Romano cheese, was simply divine. To complement my meal, I selected a bottle of Pinot Blanc from Cosi's extensive wine list. The wine, with its smooth tannins and rich cherry flavors, perfectly paired with the savory flavors of my dishes. Throughout my dining experience, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure that I had a memorable evening. Their genuine hospitality and passion for Italian cuisine made me feel truly welcomed and valued. Desserts at Cosi are a must-try. I indulged in the Tiramisu, a decadent layered dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone filling, and a dusting of cocoa powder. Each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures, a perfect ending to my Italian feast. Cosi Bar Ristorante is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience that transports you to the heart of Italy. The authentic cuisine, impeccable service, and warm atmosphere make it a dining destination that cannot be missed. Whether you're a seasoned Italian food aficionado or simply seeking a taste of La Dolce Vita, Cosi will undoubtedly captivate your senses and leave you longing for more. Thomas Reeh”

“when you walk in the door you are instantly greeted by Italian servers. the atmosphere was lovely, cosy and ambient. it would be perfect for a date. the food was quite good. for the price the servings were reasonable. the highlight was the pizza, as all the cured meats on it tasted rich and delicious. the only thing i would say is that the food sat on the counter for quite a while, and when it reached us it was not that hot. the pesto was very rich, a little bitter but it was quite nice. the carbonara was cheesy and creamy. overall it was a lovely experience and the kind service made it all the more better.”

70 Main Rd, Hepburn Springs VIC 3461, Australia

“What a gem of a find. We were quite a large group of people, service was excellent and quick with meals, food was very fresh and tasty. I had Dijon Chicken and donuts. There were other various dishes which looked fab. Highly recommend as you can go for a drive if you’re coming from Melbourne and it’s easy to find. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. A number of gluten free options available”

273-279 Cecil St, South Melbourne VIC 3205, Australia

“Beautiful hotel, atmosphere was very nice, and the service was great. Food was beautiful, although I didn't really fancy the King Grilled Prawn Spaghettini. I feel it lacked flavour. The twice cooked octopus and the veal schnitzel are a must. The schnitzel was huge !!! Would definitely recommend this place and am looking forward to visiting again.”

312 Bay St, Brighton VIC 3186, Australia

“4th time dining and we continue to love Mr&Mrs P’s. We had the “feed me” option on Saturday with a brand new menu which was fabulous and almost more than we could eat. Great cocktails and wines and good music as always.”

320 Mount Dandenong Tourist Rd, Sassafras VIC 3787, Australia

“Very good food, service and ambiance. The interiors give you the vintage vibe. Spacious sitting. Plating was good. The lamb was cooked well and it was delicious. It's definitely a good place to visit around the area.”

421 Rathdowne St, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia

“Delicious lunch! Heirloom tomato salad was so flavourful and fresh - I could've easily eaten two!! Definitely going back not just for this but also to try different pizzas.”

61 Flinders Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Simply magnificent. The dishes were done with great execution. This restaurant has such an introvert exterior, but as you walk in, it’s a bustling upscale scene where everyone seems to be having a good time. I was escorted to a table tucked in the private area in the corner of the restaurant. The waiter who served us was extra chatty and he really upsold us everything! As the food came, everything was done in perfect manner. My personal favorites has to be the duck and the “VIP” wagyu steak. That crispiness of the duck skin is truly salivating. What’s funny is that as we were finishing dinner, my friend told me that Tyson Fury (the famous British boxer) were at the restaurant one week before us. If Tyson Fury eats here, you know this place is gonna be good. I, Prince L, will definitely come back again 10/10.”

1558 Frankston - Flinders Rd, Tyabb VIC 3913, Australia

“Always great friendly service. Delicious Pasta the fettuccine creamy carbonara is a hit with the family and Scrumptious Pizza with thick topping with plenty of ingredients without fail and who doesnt love a pizza/pasta perfect to eat for another meal the next day if any leftovers. Quick pick up. Sometimes lenthy delivery times. Very popular i have family that visited and still years later talk about the best pizza they ever had and it was La Lupas. Cozy and cute small shop with kitchen in view. They keep it warm for your trip home with foil. No dining area inside but a small bench to wait on out of the weather. Can be super busy at times so not always room to move about. Yum love this place always come back cant go wrong if you love thick topping and food made with thought.”

581 Chapel St, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

“We’ve been to this place with a knowledge of overpriced. When you pay higher, your expectation of quality is high as well which I haven’t seen. In my opinion they have Average food quality with entree and main foods. I personally didn’t like their risotto as you could smell of prawns (less marinated) and also the plate they served was not suitable for that meal. My friends enjoyed their Ragu pasta, however, I believe they used extra tomato in there with minimum cheese. Finally, their staff and customer service was exceptional. Thank you 😊”

Featherbrook Shopping Centre, 15/238 Boardwalk Blvd, Point Cook VIC 3030, Australia

“Went for an impromptu dinner with our son who just completed last day of yr12 today. We ordered a couple of pizzas and cheesy garlic bread. The food was good but the customer service was the stand out. Cheesy garlic bread was crunchy on the outside but still soft inside with nicely melted cheese on top. I really like the pizza dough here and there is a large selection of pizza toppings along with other items (pasta, entrees, etc) on the menu to choose from. The waitress was very attentive, friendly and professional. They even noticed my son wearing his yr12 jumper and gave us a serving of chips as a congratulatory gift and to wish him luck for exams! A local business that offers decent food and pays attention to their customers deserves a shout out!”

Chadstone Shopping Centre, Shop HT002/1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148, Australia

“Food: The pork belly was magnificent and the ribs were delicious. Chips, onion rings and blue cheese sauce were average. The Salted Caramel mousse was well presented but not to our taste. The cocktails were refreshing and good size. Service: Waitresses were friendly and service was good and quick. They made us feel welcome. Atmosphere: The restaurant is well presented. The music was a bit to loud, it was hard to hear the waitress and we had to speak up to hear each other.”

91 Flinders Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Went on the 13th of September and was so so pleasantly surprised by the food and service here. We actually planned to dine at the popular establishment beside this place but they were full so we came to Tazio instead and it was one of the best decisions this trip! Staff were attentive and friendly and the food was fantastic. You need to get the arancini because that blew my mind.”

Level 1, Cnr Lt Bourke and, Thompson St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“We went there for lunch. Ordered some this king like tomato based slow cooked pork and seafood spaghetti and vegetables. The spaghetti is unique and tasty. It’s taste just nice but my friend said it’s too salty for him. Pork and vegetables are good and normal. Actually sourdough can be better. It’s cold and very hard. If it’s toasted or warmed up then it could be better. Their staffs are friendly and nice! Overall it’s nice environment and good food.”

Shop 14/519 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia

“Absolutely delicious meals. Credit to the kitchen staff for preparing & serving such high quality five star food. There's a large variety on the menu however being a pizza lover and having devoured it for many years, I keep going back.”

126 Chapel St, Windsor VIC 3181, Australia

“Our family absolutely loves Farro! The Windsor team is top notch: from meal suggestions, knowing our favorite drinks when we arrive and making us feel like we are part of the Farro family. The food is divine. We’ve yet to have anything that wasn’t full of incredible flavors. The freshness of their pesto and dough is out of this world. It is our top recommended on Chapel St”

650 Mt Alexander Rd, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039, Australia

“We've been to Escagrill many times. If you want to spoil someone very special, this is the place. It is fine dining, excellent service and brilliant food. The price is high but is justifiable for what they do. But for special occasions that's worth celebrating, Escagrill is it. Great pasta, seafood and meats from the grill.”

469 Ballarat Rd, Sunshine VIC 3020, Australia

“After years of enjoying Rolling Dough Pizza, my partner and I returned for another quick and easy meal. As always, the experience was very good, solidifying this spot as one of the best pizza restaurants in the area, in my opinion. The Chicken Hanoi pizza has always been our go-to recommendation, as its unique flavor profile can only be found here. This time, however, we decided to try something new and opted for the Chicken Satay pizza. While I found it to be just alright, my partner thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're in the mood for something classic, the fresh Prosciutto pizza is another great choice – but make sure to eat it on the spot, as the rocket tends to wither by the time you get home. The interior of Rolling Dough Pizza is simple and unpretentious, which has its charm. However, the noise level from the TV can be a bit overwhelming, making it difficult to recommend as a perfect eat-in experience. One thing worth noting is the recent increase in the price of large pizzas, which has risen by about $2. This change might make it less competitive compared to other pizza joints in the area. Nevertheless, the regular size pizzas remain priced at an affordable $9.90, making them a fantastic bargain for those seeking a delicious meal without breaking the bank. Overall, Rolling Dough Pizza continues to deliver mouth-watering pizza with its unique and classic options. Despite some minor drawbacks, it remains a must-visit spot for pizza lovers in the area.”
