    Pizza was great as always. Unfortunately broccolini side dish was way overcooked and very bland. Gnocchi was overcooked too.

    Il Caminetto is a local authentic Italian restaurant. The staff are brilliant helpful & welcoming. The food was delicious, it was served hot & promptly. There was a good selection of authentic Italian dishes. My friends chose the parmigiana Della nonna & I had the calamalata al sugo di capretto, followed by coffees canolli & an affogato. We were there for lunch. The verdict, perfetto it was all wonderful. A great place to eat local food in a lovely unpretentious restaurant.

    Always a fantastic meal at Il Caminetto. We always look forward to visiting. If they ever stop making the vegan version of the Tiramisu I will be devastated! I love how they are able to cater for everyone in the family; whether gluten free, vegan or a meat eater etc. The best Italian restaurant in Moonee Ponds hands down.

    Unfortunately the tuna sashimi dish was already unavailable by the time we arrived for lunch (1pm) so I had the bean soup instead - was delicious along with the focaccia I ordered. Didn’t need bread and focaccia though-will need to check whether bread comes with meal next time. Passionfruit pannacotta was delicious too, great texture! All else was great-service, meals, catering for my gluten-free friend, thank you!
