I could not recommend Farm Vigano enough for anyone looking for a stunning wedding location all in the middle of the suburbs. Thank you to all the team as you made our wedding day run with ease.

3.7. Good place…read more We were invited to a milestone birthday lunch here today for 16 people. Farm Vigano is very Italian and there's lots to like about that. We had the $55 sharing menu which is said to be in celebration of traditional Italian dining custom. It is a very good feast and makes this restaurant well worth seeking out. We started with a superb anti pasto. It is a very generous size and offers stunningly fresh and delicious produce. One of the best of its type I've had in good old Oz for sure. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite item. They were all excellent. The accompanying bread was excellent too. Light, fluffy and very tasty. All in all, this is a great starter. We had nice pizzas next. Three different types. All had a light base with good tasting toppings. I was talking too much and sadly didn't get the names of any of the pizzas. They are good sound pizzas without being spectacular. Next we had very good looking pork and lamb. Both dishes looked really great when they arrived. The meat was very pleasantly done but not brilliantly and it lacked just a little bit of flavour for me. This course came with well cooked baked potatoes and a nice rocket salad. A couple of our party had cannolis for dessert. I had a taste. They were good. My long black to finish was great. Very well made coffee. Service here was very impressive throughout. There's a good number of mainly young servers and they were all efficient and affable. It is a good restaurant area too. Bright and airy and lovely on a sunny day. There are nice greenery views from most windows. We really liked the place and would very happily dine here again.

Menulog Order Ordered from this restaurant for the first…read moretime last night. Ordered Gnocchi Carbonara and got Gnocchi Gorgonzola which was a)not what I ordered b)tasteless and watery. Ordered a pizza and wrote in the comments I did not want olives. Pizza came with olives. Pizza was very light on with toppings and very ordinary. Lamb risotto was fine. Restaurant did not answer the email comment on menulog which now won't allow me to write a review. Review is now on trip advisor and other places. The meal arrived when it was supposed to but such a shame two of the meals were not what I wanted. Total lack of professionalism not responding to the menulog comment. Would not order from here again. Plenty of better Italian places in the area. It appears the restaurant changed owners recently and is not what older reviews say anymore.

The staff are very friendly and engaging, you can have a good conversation with them. The food is by far THE BEST RESTAURANT FOOD I'VE EVER HAD! It's presented well, cooked to perfection. The pizza bases are perfect, I hate thick bases, but I also hate bases that are too thin, and these are just perfect! The chips are cooked nicely, seasoned well, and aren't oily. Their meat products are spectacular, and their pasta is really nice. I don't usually eat pasta at restaurants, however in this case it's cooked really nicely and the sauce has flavour. The owners are Italian, so they know what they're doing, and I don't need to explain anymore. I would definitely recommend dining at this fine restaurant, and I will close by saying that the prices are extremely fair, and the staff have done a fabulous job!

He complains about the value for money, the quality of food, the prices of the wines (being in the liquor industry it's difficult for him to buy wine at a restaurant when he knows the markup!) painful is the nicest way to describe him. So when I was asked by mum to book a restaurant for her birthday where she could have a nice night out without hearing complaints from dad I was under pressure! Baldovino is BYO so that ticked the first box! The menu is extensive and serves traditional, tasty Italian food! Being Italian that ticked box number two. The specials sounded delicious and we had trouble deciding on what to order. Eventually we devided on the special gnocchi grilled with a creamy cheese sauce, calamari and meatballs all to share for entree. All dishes were delicious - the gnocchi were the standout. Then came main - between us we ordered the Baldovino pollo (chicken dish) with a creamy mustard sauce, grilled calamari and prawns with vegetables, Baldovino tortellini, the risotto with scallops and the fusspot ordered spaghetti marinara! Well of course dad found something to complain about....too much seafood in his marinara!! I'm convinced he was looking for something to pick on!! Who complains there is too much seafood??? We laughed at him for his ridiculous comments!! The meals were generous portions so we were extremely full but of course had to squeeze in dessert - as usual our eyes were bigger than our stomach. All desserts are homemade and very appetizing. The verdict - dad is happy to go back and mum had a complaint free dinner - now that's saying something!!

The self service function is fine (I don't mind getting my own water and Parmesan) and the staff were friendly, but that was it for positives. The pasta I ordered was bland, with what tasted like frozen seafood. If the sauce was anything but literal white wine- I couldn't taste it. The garlic and herb pizza tasted reheated, and my sisters meatballs tasted like literal hunks of meat- unseasoned, bland and bizarrely dense. I've had better store bought meatballs. I've made better pasta. I know some people might enjoy this place, but for the money I spent, I was disappointed. We ate enough to take away the edge to our hunger, then went two doors down to order something else at a better place. It's literally the first time I've ever not made myself finish a meal I paid for.
