Really enjoyed the vibe here, the food was great too :) Pricing was fair. I had the calabrese pizza which was a great size with just enough topping, Carlos was very funny with lots of tricks :P Fun place for the fam

We went to this restaurant in a big group. The food was amazing! We got a different variety of things. The pizza's were devine - They had one with chicken and avocado and others. It was amazing! (can't remember the name) The antipasto platters were also really amazingly presented and tasted amazing. The staff were really friendly and one of them was playing practical jokes on our table and it was a really fun and relaxed environment. I highly reccommend.

Best pizza/pasta restaurant in Melbourne for sure!!

I have been going here for a long time and it has never disappointed me, the atmosphere is always great no matter what night of the week you go, be sure to get in early or there sometimes can be a wait for a table but that's what you get when you're the best place in Melbourne to eat.

Bruschetta pizza is amazing even for a main meal not just a starter, best tip...get one between the table or by yourself it's a must here. Then you can even get a dessert pizza, rolled dough with nutella and chocolate toppings, awesome!

My favourite restaurant for the last 9 years! Not only is it reasonably priced, the food is amazing. And their Bruschetta pizza is to die for! Best in Melbourne.

Service is fantastic also and Carlos is good fun!

I always recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

Approximate cost: $14-$25

Love this place also! You should try the Nutella pizza if you haven't already done so.

I absolutely love this pizza bar/restaurant.
We live in Sydney & every single time we visit Melbourne this is the first stop after checking into our hotel.
Carlos is a nutter - loves a practical joke or 2 (ok, 4 or 5) and loves a challenge.
The place is always busy, it's vibrant, has good energy & everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
The pizzas? WOW! Joe makes the best pizzas. You can create your own from a huge list of quality ingredients and nothing fazes him (or shocks him). His chocolate pizza is to die for! I've have been known to fly them home to Sydney (now that is something) they are that good.
Service is good, efficient & with a smile.
The menu is quite sizeable, yummy and caters for everyone.
I highly recommend - especially for families, groups & get togethers.

Approximate cost: $12 - $28

I tried the restaurant for dinner with 4 of my girlfriends. We shared some bruschetta which came on a pizza base with tomatoes, onion, basil and feta - it was amazing! Then I tried the pollo pene pasta which was also really good. All the girls were also very happy with their meals. We were going to try the chocolate pizza but after mains the staff seemed to forget about us so in the end we just asked for the bill and went somewhere also for dessert.
There is a guy who works there who goes around playing practical jokes with plastic spiders etc - great for the kids, got a bit tiring after an hour or so though.

Approximate cost: $15-$20
