Lourinha is a quintessential and inviting intimate bar which serves the authentically scrumptious Spanish tapas and main course. And, this eclectically interesting bar, that buzzes with patrons just soaking up the atmosphere is Little Collins Street Melbourne.Cannot fault any element ... excellence in service, food, authenticity, list of interesting wines This will certainly will become a regular Friday night haunt.

The food here was divine! Service was prompt and informative. Only issue we had were our neighbours at the tables next to us practically sitting on our laps. Theyâve squished so many tables in the front of the restaurant that you canât expect nice quiet conversation with your partner.

My husband took me out to this restaurant for my birthday. It well and truly supports all the positive reviews it has received thus far. Lovely atmosphere. The food was superb. We started with an antipasto tasting plate which was delicious - all parts of it, we both had fish of the day for mains, which was grilled snapper with small potatoes, beans and broccoli, but also ordered a salad to share. I always think fish is the acid test of a restaurant which Il Duca passed with flying colours. There is a nano second between cooked and tough - this was sublime. It flaked easily from the fork, the flavour not disguised by any sauces - but the fish was flavoursome and delicious. The salad likewise was delicious. We shared the gelato and sorbet - yum! The service was terrific. Water continually topped up, drinks appearing as ordered - every attention to our needs. No delays at all with our food appearing in rapid succession. Happy to recommend, and if weâre over this way again, weâll be back!

The service was attentive and pleasantly polite. The wine list looked fairly expensive so as my companion was not drinking I stuck to the more reasonably priced beer. That is not a commentary on the quality of the wine. We had a plate of the whole fried prawns for a starter which was good enough for two of us and quite tasty. For mains we had the squid ink linguini and the slow cooked beef cheek. The panna cotta desert was very nice and beautifully presented. The bill was very reasonable. Both were very nice. Overall this was a good dining experience. I would recommend it as a pleasant place to dine.

For my last night in Melbourne I dined at il Cantuccio, a traditional style, Italian restaurant . Inside decor was very dark & traditional, very cosy: staff were all Italian. I chose Involtini, a traditional Calabrese dish: beef topside rolled with parsley, pecorino cheese, pesto and slowly baked with capers, anchovies, tomato & chilli, served with rustic Italian style veggies. Very enjoyable especially when I got to the capers & anchovies stuffing. The staff were very friendly and exuded typical Italian passion for life & food: they treat you like family! Highly recommended.

10 of us had team dinner at this place. Located in busy CBD location, this place offer good food, good service and overall good experience. I tried the calamari that was great, the fussioloni that was ok, the buffalo side salad that was great and the tiramisu that was great. Service was good, good wine selection and all in all we had good time.

Its hard to find fault with this Little Collins Street Italian culinary institution.As you would expect the bread is served warm, with a crusty outer layer, chewy and with artisan olive oil, the perfect start to excite the sensors. We shared half-a-dozen oysters, and then promptly ordered another six-of-the best. and they were the best, oysters I have ever had. And, I have been fortunate enough to have indulged in Oysters across four continents.We had the 2015 Lobethal Rd Chardonnay. You pay $45 at Dan Murphy. At Il Bararo it's a very reasonable $75. So with the wine, I had the spectacular pesce del giorno (fish of the day). My wife the equally delicious Cannelloni. Accompaniment was insalata di rucola (fresh green salad). The simple things in life are always the best.Staff, well they are just fabulous Italian peacocks, wonderful and engaging. Love this place.

We loved the entire experience in Da Guido. Be the Italian dishes made to perfection and very courteous friendly staff, the overall ambience, everything was remarkable. We ordered the Calamari salad, Duck breast with cocktail potatoes, seafood spaghetti and Seared Salmon with Avocado, along with Chianti...everything was perfect! Fine dining restaurant that gives you an unforgettable experience! Keep it up.

Looking for a new Italian in the city we went here based on Trip Advisor's positive reviews.Good looking room that is deceiving from the outside. Light wood and well spaced tables made it a comfortable space.Ordered Rocket & pear salad, Salmon Caserecce pasta and Salumi pizza. Salad and pizza were excellent and good portions. Quality ingredients on all. The pizza base was just right and stayed crispy in the middle unlike many wood fired pizzas were you end up with a soggy middle. My partner enjoyed the Caserecce but found the portion size a bit small commenting that I would still be hungry had I ordered it. Had a good Valpolicella Ripasso to go with it. $130 for the meal with wine being half of the bill.Service was excellent - prompt, friendly, not pretentious or hovering.Worth noting the pasta prices at Da Guido 365 are less than their location in Lygon street.Open for lunch and dinner but closed from 3-6 in the afternoon.Very much enjoyed this meal and will be back ourselves and with friends.

Our 'local' turned out to e a highlight of our Melbourne stay. From the minute we stepped inside this tiny [27 sq m!] restaurant we felt at home. Our waitress, Carolina, was a gem - ensuring always that we had enough water and wine, and were enjoying our food, without ever being intrusive. Everything is made on the premises and served up with Italian music in the background. Just fabulous and can't be recommended highly enough.
