    The food and drinks were great but it took ages for someone to come and take our drinks or food order. Waited about 40 minutes. Food came quick which was good. They offered water too but it never came either. Food was so good. Prices were a little high for the area. Vibe of the restaurant was nice but it was quite loud and the tables were very close together

    We caught up for a girls lunch at L'Artigiano Ivanhoe. We had the lunch special of a mains pasta, house wine (beautiful wine) and the canoli dessert, all for $35 The coffee is great as well. The service was really good, and a lovely ambience in the restaurant, and not noisy. We will definitely return.

    I was incredibly accommodated by the staff, from the acknowledgment of my booking notes to the candle they found for my Mum’s birthday cake (we used the sticky date pudding off the dessert menu, so unbelievably work it).
