I've been to Al Forno three times now, and each time has been excellent. It's just a small local…read moreeatery, but it's well worth a visit. The food is always delicious and the service is great too. They're really accomodating when making adjustments to pasta dishes, and always get your requests right. Their gnocchi is superb and so soft, and their sauces are fantastic. I've had the gnocchi with chicken and avocado in a cream sauce, and I've had a gnocchi with chicken and avocado in a yummy curry sauce (sooooo good and way better than it might sound to some). Two out of the three visits, I've had and shared the chocolate mousse. The first time was delicious and the second time it tasted more like a light chocolate pudding/whip. The only minor negative I can say about Al Forno (and this is purely nitpicking), they don't play music so there's no real ambiance to the restaurant. Having said that, the decor is nice enough and the staff are friendly, so couple all of that with beautiful food, and this is now my favourite local Italian eatery. I highly recommend it. It's great for dinners with the family and it's really well priced.

I have now tried both the pizza and pasta at Red Pepper and both meals were incredibly good and have me coming back for more. I highly recommend the Mediterranean lamb pizza. It has the perfect combination of ingredients that are a match made for my mouth. The eggplant dip on top defiantly is the icing on the pizza. I think I might have become a little less sceptical about eating on streets that are out of my comfort zone.

Hearing good things about La Svolta, we decided to give it a go. To be honest, it wasn't as good…read moreas I thought it might be. It was nice - don't get me wrong - but nothing startling, and there are other Italian restaurants I like better (and are quieter). I started with a nice Caprese Salad, but for my main, it's entirely possible I just made a wrong choice. I ordered the Pizza Agliata which has Flor di latte mozzarella, garlic, oregano and extra virgin olive oil. If I'm being honest, it totally lacked taste. I really only finished it because I'd barely eaten all day. I think if I go again, I'll just stick to my usual choice of a Margherita pizza. For dessert I had a scoop of lemon and a scoop of chocolate gelato which was ok. The lemon was exceptionally tangy and the chocolate was half frozen (but tasted nice at least). Service was spotty (we were offered dessert between eating our entree and getting our main - and when we told the waitress we hadn't had mains yet, she walked off without clearing away the entree plates, lol). Overall, I MIGHT be tempted to try this one more time and choose differently, but I would only go if others insisted on eating here.

Really cute place on the main drag in Hampton. The pizza was better than most in Melbourne, and the…read moreservice was super-friendly. The pizza here has a very thin crust. As an American, I staunchly refuse to eat pizza with a fork and knife -- I always eat it with my hands -- and this is the type of pizza that you really need to fold because the crust is so thin. It's so thin that if you pick up a slice without folding it, all your ingredients will come sailing merrily off and will no doubt end up in your dining partner's lap. Which may get awkward. In spite of its uber-thinness (or perhaps because of it), I really loved the crust. Soft and delicious. We all know people who have an irrational hatred of pizza crusts, people who will ALWAYS hack their pizza crusts off with a knife, lip curled in disgust, no matter where you take them. Trust me, even these people will like the crust at La Svolta. My boyfriend and I both had vegetarian pizzas, mine without cheese to make it vegan. (His was the "Parmigiana" and mine was the "Ortolana.") Mine came with eggplant, mushrooms, olives, tomato, and capsicum. The pizza bases are all non-dairy/non-egg, so you can choose any of the vegetarian pizzas and ask for no cheese to make it vegan. Service was fantastic -- the servers all sounded like they were actually from Italy, which is nice. They were very friendly and helpful. Food was pricey but this is Hampton, after all. Luckily, the portion size was quite large by Australian standards, so it's worth it. We finished our pizzas but only because we hadn't eaten anything else all day. The place is a bit loud and crowded, but I didn't mind that at all. If you're on a first date and trying to have an actual polite conversation, La Svolta might not be the best pick, but otherwise it's fine.

Cielo Gourmet Pizza Pasta at McKinnon is just fantastic. It is going to be so difficult to ever eat…read morepizza anywhere else ever again. Pictures do not lie, these pizza's are just truly fantastic. Have tried the Gambari, Courgette and Vegipatch pizzas in addition to their garlic pizza and rocket salad, and I am just so pleased that only quality, fresh ingredients are used in their products. The owners of Cielo's really know what they are doing, and the taste and quality of their pizza's is living proof that this family business has stood the test of time, in fact since 1978 they have been serving up awesome pizza's. Cielo Pizza is their new baby, and the owners are finding that this change is moving in a real, positive direction for them. Think quality ingredients such as the juiciest and chunkiest (let alone the freshest) king prawns, goats cheese and pumpkin to name. It is great that their toppings are to be seen right in front of the customer when ordering pizza to either eat in or take away. This is a great sign in itself. The great news is that Cielo's also serves quality Gluten Free Pizza's (medium size only) and delivers. Well organised business with the best pizza's and the friendliest customer service around. It is a shame that a five star rating is the limit here on Yelp, otherwise I would be giving this business more star ratings of which it truly deserves. A quality business that has also won many Glen Eira Council Food Hygiene Awards.
