Years after visiting this restaurant I have ventured back last night! I had fond memories of yummy…read morepasta before the days of gluten free diet, but they have plenty of non-offical GF foods on the menu too. I ordered the seafood risotto (with a hint of chilli please) and hubby ordered the variation of surf n turf that way on the menu (Steak with prawns in a creamy sauce, served on lovely veggies). He had a beer and sadly, I didn't have a chinotto, because they didn't have any in stock, oh well! Tables are covered in white paper, space is quiet small but works well with mirrors on the walls. Noise wasn't too loud, which is great. It was fairly busy for a Monday night. So, the servings - MASSIVE! I ordered the main sized meal, not the entree sized and I literally laughed (with joy) when I saw it. The volume of fresh seafood in my risotto was excellent, scallops, big prawns, calamari and other delights were plentiful. And yes, the added chilli flakes were perfect. I ate about half and then requested a container to take the rest with me. Is this okay to do? I do it anyway, I love leftovers so much. The service was quick, but our waitress wasn't overly friendly and tended to lethargically plonk things down heavily, including our meals. I love super friendly service, so this was a bit of a minus. My partner noticed it too and mentioned it to me, and it did change the experience a little for us. She could have just been having a bad day, and that happens! Halfway through my meal, a caterpillar made a break out of my salady-decoration part on the side. Luckily I hate lettuce so I didn't eat him accidentally. I showed the waitress who was horrified, so I put the caterpillar in the garden outside and we paid the bill. We laughed a fair bit afterwards too - although I was surprised that the chef wasn't told about the incident, or if she was, that we weren't offered an apology/discount. Not that I needed/wanted either, but as I spent a couple of year waitressing my way through uni, I know how that situation is usually treated. Overall: The food was excellent value and so delicious! I might return for the occasional meal or takeaway risotto, but I think I won't be a loyal customer, because the service wasn't overly great. Three stars because value and quality of the meals was really good.

Bottom line up front: A really nice meal but a little over priced…read more The Bruschetta for entree was great. Same old topping but this time on a pizza base. Yummy. The calamari was simple and perfectly done. The service was ok. If only waiters in Italian restaurants would pronounce Bruschetta properly...right? I had a medium pizza which was terrific and the veal scallopini was good too. The paper table cloth is literally just butchers paper and detracted significantly. The wines were good, though and, unlike the meals, were very reasonably priced. Despite the expense, I would still come back for another meal. I made a point of thanking the staff in the pizza kitchen on the way out and they were appreciative. In this area, it is the only real Italian option around and I certainly left satisfied.

The fish and chips here really are good. Not only that, they're consistently good…read more I generally get the grilled blue grenadier and my partner will get a lamb souvlaki. The ingredients are always fresh, and the fish is great quality. All fried foods - dim sims, chips, potato cakes - are crispy and golden, never over-battered and they're generally so kind as to sneak an extra one in there from time to time. Literally the only issue I have ever had here is that they put the jam donuts we ordered in with all the chips, dim sims etc. Even then, the salt made a nice contrast to the jam inside! Would definitely recommend as the best fish and chips in Watsonia.

Worst fish shop I've been to!…read more Ordered the fisherman's basket only to discover the "calamari" is what can only be described as SFISH (spam in fish form) or "I Can't believe it's not fish" because it was garbage. When my friend went in to complain about when they are selling as Calamari, he was told it was his problem and that they are "allowed by law to sell it as Calamari" then proceeded to yell at him. Do yourself a favor and shop at any of the other 2 fish and chip shops on the same shopping strip. 0/10 customer service, 5/10 food

Minimum chips are $3, and they also have a menu which includes a variety of fish, seafoods, hamburgers, snacks, toasted sandwiches, souvlakis, junior specials and desserts. They even have a Mars bar in batter!

Great local Italian place. It isn't anything fancy looking, but you will find a red and white…read morecheckered table cloth to provide that old school vibe. Staff are friendly and attentive and service is relatively quick. I've been here on two occasions recently and both times I've left waddling away after eating too much food. The portions are very generous so make sure you are incredibly hungry if ordering an entree and a main. My top picks so far are the grilled calamari (entree) and the gnocchi rose. The gnocchi is made in house and are light and pillowy. The sauce is a creamy napoli with olives, sun dried tomatoes, avocado and chicken which is absolutely delicious. Great for a mid week dinner with friends or family.

Very lovely pizza pasta had a beautiful twist of garlic with it, just the answer on a hungry Sunday…read moreafternoon...

And even more fed up with morons who abuse the residents because they are too stupid to look for another seafood supplier in the area.

And it's not the residents fault if so many websites still link the phone number to a seafood supplier.
