• Italian • Barwon Heads

Booked 10 times today

We Italians like to say that a gesture is worth 1000 words. When our hands aren’t in use, creating or experimenting with canvas and brushes, marble and chisel, pan and pot, we mould air with our fingers. CHE VUOI which translates to ‘what do you want’ is often an involuntary gesture, something we can’t help doing… Like sharing our love for Nonna’s rustic family dishes, fresh homemade pastas, artisan wood fire pizzas and great wines in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. We would be humbled to see you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Ciao & Buon Appetito…

The ambience and decor was great. Unfortunately we were not informed that the Thursday evening pasta and wine deal included an entree size pasta. The food was delicious however it was unfortunate that we were still hungry following our main meal.

We were a table of 20 and had to have the set menu which was great value. We were allowed to bring our own birthday cake at no extra charge while most restaurants would have charged us a hefty fee. The food was varied and delicious with some dishes we had not had before. The service was very attentive and friendly. Raas Leela is at the top of our list for a re-visit when next in Lorne.
