    The food was great - we always have the goat. The staff had all changed but it was still good service. Noisy as there was a Hen's night in a private room but that was unusual

    From the beautiful old building setting, to the wait staff, to the great wine list, to the amazing food. THE best restaurant in Melbourne. We started with the Northern Style Braised Duck Arancinis which were amazing. Then my wife had the Oxtail Ragu and I had the Sardinian Style Braised Goat leg all with a delicious bottle of Chianti from their extensive Italian wine list. Went back a few days later for another round as it is amazing. Can't wait to return. Thank you

    Food was amazing. Ambiance was great, until the end of the night when they opened the front door at 8.30pm to let the night cold air - obviously they wanted people to go home.
