BUT it's about the pasta at Monzarella. Specifically the ragu, which is so good. Everything else I've ordered has been great but I usually order that so that's really the thing I can speak to the most.

We ended up walking around the little downtown of Williamstown and stumbled upon Amorosa. We saw the amazing deals they had on the window and a nice collection of entrees of pastas and pizzas. The atmosphere is very family friendly and comfortable for groups and hangouts. We were extremely pleased and delighted with our orders of the chicken avocado carbanaro pasta and the prosciutto calzone. The calzone came with a small delicious arugula Parmesan vinaigrette salad. The pasta was sooooo good that we couldn't stop eating it and finished the whole main dish! We eyed a lot of pizzas that other customers ordered and plan on trying those out next time. The desserts by the bar/cafe looked really amazing and scrumptious too but we were too full to try those. We would definitely come back to try many other things here!! Update: We tried the delicious pizzas here and was super satisfied! Also their $14 deals on Tues and Wed nights are so worth it!!

Actually, it is quite a decent pub, especially if you want to spend some time watching the footy play out, which was the case with me at one time. Okay, it isn't one of those pubs that really stands out in that regards, but they do have some decent beers available, and they do have the footy onscreen. While it isn't one of those places that I would go out of my way to visit, it still serves its purpose quite well.

Once upon a time Rosa Mitchell headed up the kitchen at Journal Canteen - a bustling Italian spot…read morewith the feel of a school dining hall during business lunch times. The food was honest, simple and delicious. The focus was on seasonal produce prepared in classic combinations. The antipasto changed daily and a plate with a glass of wine was just the ticket for lunch. I wish I could say that transporting this concept, along with Rosa, to a bigger kitchen and premises at the Hobson's Bay Hotel resulted in the same satisfaction that I used to have at Journal Canteen. Unfortunately, something along the way has gone wrong. The night I ventured there looking for a meal of loved-up food and good wine, I left sad and disappointed. Granted it wasn't peak season (when this whole town will be full of tourists) but the ambience of this place was...well... non existent. A big cavernous room with just a few tables filled and muzak playing in the background was soulless. The food was okay, but it lacked the zing and freshness that Rosa is known for. Then again, who knows if she was in the kitchen that night or not. The open kitchen at Journal Canteen used to connect the diners with the cooks and increased diners' appreciation of the food. This time the food's rustic charm in a more "fancy" location just didn't really work. The antipasto seemed tired and I desperately wanted the remaining dishes to save the day, but they just weren't that amazing. The service was woeful - a comedy of errors caused us to repeat our order three times to two staff members. An incorrect glass of wine (not poured at the table) was served and one of the floor staff serving us spent more time flirting with women on another table rather than taking care of the small collection of guests. We eventually left, skipping dessert, and walked to the til to pay - by this stage he had settled in at their table to chat! I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately left sad and disappointed not only for my dining companion and I, but for Rosa and her once gorgeous nourishing food which really hasn't found a home in this location.
