Olives and Shiraz
Keela S.

Great happy hour from 3:30 to 5:30! We shared the carrots, arugula or rocket salad and the amazing risotto comprised of saffron and braised beef. Shiraz on HH menu was really good too.

Spaghetti with lobster and tomato

Very impressive Italian restaurant. They were very accommodating for us going to a show and served accordingly. Great Italian music playing in the background. I felt like I was back in Italy. Got the pulled beef with Gorgonzola and the lobster spaghetti. Amazing flavors but pricey.

Antipasti: selection of cured meat, vegetable & seafood served in traditional Italian style

Came here for Valentine's, and sat down to a set menu. Staff was very friendly, it's a tiny restaurant, but our waitress made sure we were happy with everything. The food was delish, Anatra arrosto (duck breast) and Agnello (lamb rump), and filled us up so we only took a gander at the selection of gelato they have available. My only complaint was the time it took to get our main, it felt like we were sitting for ages, and even while enjoying good company and conversation, you notice the time tick away as you wait for your food to come. Other than that, it was a nice restaurant to visit.

Tutto Bene is a beautiful little Italian restauarant with stunning views over the Yarra river, Flinders st Station and the gorgeous Melbourne CBD skyline. Its a traditional Italian eatery, that serves delicious bowls of pasta, risotto and other hearty fare. To be honest, I cant really pronounce anything on the menu, but my waiter was very helpful in describing alot of the dishes to me. The risotto I chose, the Anatra, funghi e salvia ( which translates to braised duck, porcini mushroom and sage, according to the menu) was delicious. The flavours were rich, and the light sauce was very tasty. Tutto Bene also has an attached gelateria with amazing ice creams and sorbets. The gelato is available as a dessert within the restaurant, as well as from a seperate counter available from outside the restaurant. This is serious ice cream. It is award winning icecream, with seasonal flavours like pear, grape, and chestnut. My personal favourite? The tiramasu!!

I have not been inside this restaurant but I have been just out the front of it where they have an adjoining Italian Gelataria. They have here the best gelato that I have had in the southern hemisphere. The flavours are always changing so it would not be fair of me to recommend a flavour as it might not be there when you arrive. This aside every flavour that you chose will have you making noises of satisfaction that you did not even know you could make. Something else that I love about Tutto Bene is the location, set just one level about Southbank you have a stunning view of Melbourne that most people would not stop and look at.

Delicious gnocchi

Had a really delicious and quick pre theatre meal here one Saturday night. Ordered off the cheaper pre theatre menu, but service, food and extras were fantastic. Got bread and olives pre meal and no problem when we requested extra bread. Service was friendly and one of the best risotto and gnocchi dishes we have ever had. Highly recommend.

Crab risotto, not very appealing.

Tonight was the opening night of Rosetta, the latest offering from Neil Perry of The Rockpool Group…read more-- and it was fantastic! We were the first booking, and I was the first in the door when the opened to the public -- a more complete review will follow, but, I wanted to get this into Yelp as soon as possible. The staff is a mix of Sydney Rockpool Group staff, The Waiting Room staff, as well as staff from Spice Temple and Rockpool Bar and Grill Melbourne -- and, of course, some new faces. They are still finding their way with the layout, the menu, and each other, but tonight's opening was truly a joy to behold. Pictures and more to follow, and I would give this 5 stars, but I felt that being opening night there is always something to learn and improve upon. Neil Perry was present for the evening, and was a fantastic host. Those of us who are "fans" will feel right at home. The menu is focussed, delicious, traditionally inspired, but creatively enhanced. The wine list is just right for the venue, and the desserts, well, YES PLEASE ALL OF THE ABOVE. Right, that's it for now. Really, just, wow, great start to what I truly hope will be a fantastic addition to Melbourne's foodie landscape. Great job Neil and crew, looking forward to the next visit! --- Update December 31st 2012: My wife and I have just finished our last meal of the year at Rosetta and it was the best yet. The entire meal was flawless; three hours of the best wine, food and service that you can get in Melbourne. I promised to update the review as soon as the crew had hit their stride, and boy, have they. There's a sense of flow between the staff and the location that only comes as people get to know one another and their environment. They know how to duck and weave, how to give way to patrons, to people carrying food and drink, and this "coming together" is reflected in all parts of Rosetta now. For dinner we started by sharing the Insalata di Mare - both my wife and I loved every bite, but the scampi was probably our mutual highlight here. Next, we shared one of the primi dishes: Tagliarini Neri. Described as "Hand picked warm mud crab with fresh chilli and lemon zest" the dish is likely one of the more complicated ones to prepare -- that hand picking is tedious work, and the server did say that since it's not done by machine, there may be a bit or two in the mix that isn't expected. We were more than fine with that, and in our case, no issues. The pasta was absolutely perfect and we both found ourselves using bits of bread to get as much of the lemon/oil as possible. This was probably our favourite dish at Rosetta to date. My wife went with the Maccheroni Giganti and I went with the Anatra - they slightly changed it, now it is served with braised cherries; last time we visited it was peaches and vinaigrette. I must say, I preferred it with the cherries. The skin was crispy, the flavour spectacular. We finished with some of the gelato (wow), and of course had a bottle of wine with our meal - but the experience at Rosetta has, to us, reached that level of enjoyment that is about far more than just the meal itself, it's the interaction with the staff, the way they truly seem to enjoy their jobs, and how much we look forward to going back as soon as we can.

We were looking for a restaurant that was less touristy than many of the others along the laneways,…read moreand we came upon Tipo 00 so we made a reservation. We're glad we did! Here's what we noticed: - It was difficult to get a reservation at prime dinner hour, so we opted for a 3:30 PM late lunch/early dinner which worked out perfectly for our schedule. - The place overall has a great vibe, good music, and it is pretty small. - There were some really interesting drinks and good wines to choose from...we went with wine since we had other plans later that evening. - We decided to start with the salad with pear and honey, and then my wife and I split both the black squid ink pasta, and the special pasta that had Moreton Bay Bugs. The salad was incredible perfectly dressed... Having it first gave us away as Americans for sure, but it was perfect. The squid ink pasta was every bit as good as everyone said in reviews, and so was the special pasta. - Service was great, not overbearing. They even brought us some extra bread so we could sop up the sauce from our pasta. Bottom line: There are so many great restaurants in Melbourne and Tipo 00 is right up there and should be on your "to try list".

Their…read morepizza's are of a generous serving for a great price; although they can be a little cold at times. Any of their pizzas (including the meat lovers) are great to consume on a Saturday night for a snack before eating something more substantial later. Buy your pizza, go outside and enjoy the spits of fire overlooking you with a loud hiss along the yarra. The sauce is refreshing, with an abundance of fresh toppings. A little more cheese could be great. There are moments you would like to ask if there is a microwave nearby to heat up your pizza; although the staff can and do put it in a warm conveyor like toaster to heat up your pizza for you; although the problem with that method is that the pizza becomes too crunchy. Best to order these pizza's when fresh. The cheese is just sensational then, and your pizza is also piping hot. Amen. Great food at the right time, and the service is quite pleasant as well. The staff are fast and efficient. If there is a queue (which there sometimes will be) don't worry too much about it; you will be served in no time.
