I was looking for a good restaurant in Geelong and this one came up on yelp…read more The staffs were really nice. Food sounded good and looked fancy on plates but not as good as I thought. Pan grilled white fish was bit bland and lobster raviolli was not in a bisque like the one in America. Do not get me wrong, it was not bad at all. However, the price is kinda high and you are definitely paying for the ocean view and nice ambiance.

A great selection of desserts and a cheery atmosphere complete this great pick in Geelong.

Most of the staff have minimal english, which adds to the authentic experience but can cause some service problems. They can get pretty busy at times (eg. Friday evening) when the take away orders pile in, but you normally wouldn't wait more than 20 mins to be served a sit-down meal. Bamboo style brass cutlery is a nice touch and chop-sticks are available if you feel the urge to use them (they do have a small selection of malay and chinese on the menu). ps. the dining room is fairly small so booking is normally a good idea.

To follow up, after a busy day, we had a 3pm yum cha at the Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant located in the Geelong CBD. What a delight! The kitchen was technically shut when we arrived, but the lovely staff were happy to keep it open for us. We lunched on the classics: ginger prawn dumplings, shark fin and scallop dumplings and vegetarian spring rolls cooked to crispy perfection. When Twosheds' eyes were bigger than what could be eaten, our lovely attentive staff member happily converted remaining food to take away. The surroundings here are fantastic too. Located in an old gold rush bank building. Recommended. 4.0

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.
