The restaurant itself is pretty and cosy, although it's a bit out of the way (unless you like hanging out in Buckley Street). That said, the food is good and very well priced. They also do takeaway. It's a nice place to go on a date (if you're single) or to go with your partner (if you have one). I highly recommend it.

Larb ped yang is loaded with crumbly twice baked rice that lightly coats a perfectly seasoned and cooked duck breast. Pork Pad Cha is a symphony of sweet basil, kaffir lime leaf and fresh peppercorns. The pork fillet is sliced to a thin streak and arrives on a sizzling hot plate. Taro custard served warm is a perfect closer especially for the knee high crowd.

There are some really well put together dishes, rather tasty dishes and some that need to be left off the menu. Tasty? the Spaghetti Bolognese!!!! and the Stuffed calamari! (when they have it on special) and MOST of their pizzas! I am NOT a fan of their calamari, but I am a Calamari snob. The staff for the most part are attentive and very good at their job. There are some who do need some fine tuning on their customer service. But over all, this place is worth a visit.

Keilor Hotel - The Vinery function room: I organised a wake, what they call a celebration of life…read more Michelle, the events coordinator, oversaw the event on the day, with her fabulous team Danny, Tom and Josie. Michelle had excellent advice regarding the menu and catered to my requests. Extra tables, table cloths on all the tables and the open area closed off. I also requested to set up prior to the function, including a tribute table and I dropped off vases with flowers to be placed on tables. A fabulous grazing table under a tree inside the room, was ready upon arrival. Platters of food came out regularly. The event ran seamlessly. Everyone was impressed with the food, the service and the function room, the Vinery. We were fortunate to have lovely weather which really suits the Vinery with the atrium and grapevines adding to the atmosphere. Michelle, a special thank you to you for overseeing the event and catering to all my requests. Marija J R

Honestly, considering that Keilor happens to be one of those suburbs that are filled with new…read morehousing estates I didn't actually expect to find all that much here. Rather, I was expecting to just find one of those new, and rather boring, pubs. It turned out not to be the case, though their selection of beers were rather limited. It turns out that this place is a lot older than I expected, and even has a museum of sorts, suggesting that Keilor is more than just a new housing estate. Pretty cool actually.

They have fully renovated the restaurant to make it more open & spacious. This does cause a bit of noise when there are a lot of patrons, but the friendly service & great food definitely make up for it! The menu has traditional Abruzzo meals to enjoy and a good wine selection for accompaniment. All in all it is definitely worth a try with a friend, partner or large group of friends. There is also a large function space upstairs to enjoy!

We were tucked away in a windowed corner, worrying me that we would never been seen by staff. I clearly had nothing to worry about - everyone was attentive, fast and funnily enough, Italian! It took us about 2 seconds to choose our meals. I'm used to going to 90 secondi which has an identical menu. Margherita and gnocchi with 2 glasses of Sangiovese rosé. It couldn't of been more than 10 minutes before everyone was on the table in front of us! Absolutely delicious and the perfect share meal. Once we'd scoffed down the food we opted for the Nutella calzone. GET IT! Don't worry about the rest of the menu. Just get the calzone! It was almost more satisfying than the meal itself! So much chocolate, so so much chocolate and delicious pizza dough and perfect ice cream. It's very big though and can easily be shared with 2-4. It's nice to know there's an authentic pizza place less than 10 minutes from home for something a little different to the takeaway joint around the corner. It's made the regular list.
