Caruggi is excellent Italian. Authentic, provincial and perfetto! I can count the number of good…read moreItalian restaurants I know on one hand and Caruggi is now certainly on the list. For entree I ordered the focaccia with pomodoro (tomato), anchovies and capers. I was expecting some tasteless slab of salty bread plied with a few toppings. Hardly. The focaccia was wafer thin, crispy to bite and filled with melted cheese. The tomato topping was amazing, appropriately accompanied with salty anchovies. A provincial dish that I will be coming back for. My pork parpadelle was also perfetto (yep, perfect). I loved the diversity of the rustic Italian dishes on the menu. Generous in proportion, lovingly prepared and a far cry from the 80s style Lygon St Italiano machine. Caruggi Is yet another surprising made in Geelong culinary treat. Excellent hospitality too. I really can't wait to return.

I hadn't eaten here in years and years (my teenage days are sadly long gone), but when I visited home last year a friend suggested we meet at Lipari for dinner. We were a party of 5 and seated above the crowd in the restaurant. Our food arrived quickly and our wine glasses were generously filled (just how I like it!). It can be loud at times here, but I think it adds to the atmosphere of Lipari. Everyone should eat here - it's a Geelong staple!

I love the seafood linguine. It is really like a fresh seafood platter entangled with some pretty fine pasta and fresh tomatoes on a plate. I like the tiramisu too. The more traditional Australian fare, e.g cooked salmon and chips and salad is fine, but nothing to Yelp from the rafters about. The service is great. Friendly, efficient and thoughtful. La Vista has an excellent wine selection too. I love my SA shiraz, so probably am a little biased. Come here for the food and the view of Geelong's waterfront.
