Great quality produce. Friendly staff. Have bought herbs for me specifically from the market when they dont carry that line. Reliable and wonderful quality.

Scrumptious Sicilian food. pizzas great value (try the chicory pizza....sounds weird, delicious). The entress are a fantastic way of sampling high quality and refined flavours. Mains were good - goat looked incredible....but expensive........I will go back with my husband and jsut order a selection of entress and a bottle of wine.....a bit pricey to be a return all the time place....but service was great and quality excellent.

I have tried all of Geroge Columbari's resturants....this is my fave. The service was magnicificent, just a turn of my head and the waitress was at my side, almost eerie, but good!! The lamb dumplings are EXACTLY the dish my grandma makes...spot on. The dip and home made bread (complete in a brown paper bag), the fantstic turksih sodas the crispy duck spring rolls and the incredible lamb that comes with a pilaf is jsut scrumtious. We had this salad that had pomegranetes, hazelnuts and dehyrated feta and it was mindblowing....... desert was a coffee panacotta with doughts filled with.....umm...i cant remember but it was delicious (ooohhh maybe turksih delight.....???). HIGHLY recommend htis place.....book, do it now!
I have since returned with a large group and tried the banquet - the most expensive of the three options they offer. No dietary allergy or intolerance was too much trouble ( i called in advance) and the food was truly exceptional. we ROLLED out of there with our tummies full and our palates exhausted!!!! The peanut butter parfait was a standout for me, but honestly, it was a totally exquisite night!!!!! will be back again, and again and again!!!

Great choice for a mid week brekkie, they are open early (7am i think). Avocado Bruschetta is delicious and the eggs are great too. The lunch options are a bit pricey and its very inconvenient they are CASH only. the juice is freshly squeezed if you like it (bottled available too) and it yummo. Coffee is bitter..........i always get one to go from a cafe literally a couple of doors down!!!

Approximate cost: $16

This review is for Vibrante, Templestowe Lower VIC

Competent and efficient service. Food is above average quality. Calamari entree was tiny, Lamb shanks very generous but sides lacked flavour. Coffee acceptable and wine selection was above average.
Parking is plentiful and the menu has a good selection. Room lacks warmth, the decor tries a little too hard and misses the mark.

Approximate cost: $25

Pub meal. Saturday night. Best parma i have EVER had. Great menu. Warm and welcoming. Mega sundae (not actually MEGA) but delicious. I saw the rib eye being delivered to the next table, Fred Flinstone would be proud!!! (Is cemented in Collingwood royal history!).

Approximate cost: $18
