Anchovy pizza and broccolini salad are really good. Also this is the only place in melbourne that serves bud light

Italia +39 Pizzeria & Degustation - Lasagna croquettes

I wasn't planning on eating more Italian food in Melbourne but I walked into the fancy place across…read morethe street assuming they'd have pizza but it was all pastas. When we got the urge for pizza, +39 came into mind. There were no reservations available online for the last minute decision so we decided to try to walk-in. It was 515pm when we showed up and they told us they would need the table back by 630pm. Not a problem I said and I was right. We were out of there by 545pm. But we didn't feel rushed at all! The food just came out so fast, hot and delicious. The tables are set up nicely, crammed in without feeling too crowded. I love the specials wall and watching the people in the back cook the pizzas. Service was really good, I'm not sure if it's because they wanted the table back or if it's because they're just good. I'm going to go with the latter because I saw good service with other tables as well. This meal felt really authentic. I've never been to Italy but I've tried a lot of Italy-Italian food and this place ranks pretty high up there. I forgot how much a cocktail with amaretto and lime is sooooooo good. I forgot how hot salami might be better than pepperoni. I forgot that arugula salad with balsamic glaze goes so well with red sauce pizza. Pro tip? Order the lasagna croquettes and keep the sugo for your pizza crust and some of that fresh grated parm for your pizza.

Decent pizza, though their special (honey and pineapple) was too sweet. Somewhat lacklustre service…read more(wait staff avoided our eye, never asked how we were doing, didn't offer a second glass of wine when clearing the table, etc). Very crowded. All a bit disappointing given that pizza places are one of the few restaurants in Melbourne that try to shame you into giving a tip.

I was really impressed by this place. It was a random find, being tucked, as many good things are…read morein the Melbourne CBD, in a small alleyway. The service, initially left a little to be desired, as the waitress had apparently befriended one of her other patrons and spent far too much time chatting with her (no, seriously had at least a 10 minute conversation while I waited). But that improved over the course of dinner, especially as other staff pitched in to help balance it out. The Pappardelle Funghi E Tartufo was amazing. Truffle stuff tends to be hit or miss, more often a miss, with little to no flavor, as truffle is expensive so they get skimpy. This was not. Plus, the mushrooms and the pasta were both really, really well done. Few Italian places manage to remind me of dinner at this local place in Milan, Italy, but this one does. I asked about dessert, and they ran through a short list of typical dishes, but there was no cannoli. Cannoli is my favorite, especially if it's good cannoli. I asked if they ever had it. Turns out, they did, but it was a new item that wasn't on the menu yet...they were just trying it out. It wasn't the best cannoli, but it was a very good cannoli. I encouraged them to consider adding it to the menu. I'm hoping it will be there next time I get to Melbourne.

This place was jumping on a Saturday night, the host was kind and put us on the waitlist and we…read morecame back to our table in like 25 minutes, our server made excellent recommendations as well, strawberry cocktail if you like sweet and pasta. The food was superb, some of the best pasta I have had seriously! The restaurant sits in an alley and we had a quaint table outside, walking and car traffic, if you're in Melbourne say yes to this place for outstanding food and service!
