Best Italian Restaurants in Clifton Hill

il solito posto consistently delivers a high-quality experience. A Melbourne institution. Staff are so amazing (thank you all!), food is brilliant.

We recently visited this restaurant as a group of eight for a business dinner and had a very good experience overall. The service was efficient and professional, with staff ensuring our group was well looked after throughout the evening. The menu featured a great range of options, and the food was beautifully presented and full of flavour, each course was consistently well-prepared and enjoyable. The ambience is stylish and polished, making it a fitting choice for business or formal dinners. While the setting is elegant and comfortable, it does have a more structured feel, which might not offer quite the warmth or intimacy some diners might be looking for, particularly if seeking a more romantic or relaxed dining atmosphere. Overall, this is a very good restaurant that delivers on quality, presentation, and service. It’s a solid option for professional gatherings or special occasions where a refined, well-executed dining experience is desired.

Excellent experience at Good Gnocchi - from the moment we walked in we could sense the food, wine and cocktails/mocktails would be amazing as the aromas emanating from the kitchen were delicious team and the vibe & ambience exuded friendliness and enthusiasm. Thanks for a fabulous fun amd delicious evening.

We absolutely love Gilson. Fun atmosphere and the most delicious Italian food. Great value for money and can't wait to come back. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. A special shout out to Fay who goes above and beyond to make your dining experience memorable.

Lovely dinner at Queen Margaret Pizza. Service was fabulous and staff particularly attentive and professional. Terrific value for money pizza in a warm, friendly restaurant. Highly recommended!!
