10. Lecco Caffe
Reviewed By RonWamberal
This was a surprise - went to a concert at the nearby Caravan Music at the Oakleigh RSL but not sure where to eat.This small cafe seemed crowded - always a good sign - and I assumed it was a basic pasta and pizza.Having had pizza the night before I wanted something different and thought I couldn't go wrong with a Chicken parmigiana.It was beautifully cooked and excellent value at $19.90 with a glass of red thrown in.Not 4 stars on fine dining but because of its quality and integrity in what it sets out to do.The concert was great and the combination of this cafe and old style blues made a perfect night

We went here last night. They weren't too busy, still a few tables empty. A small birthday party at the back.Waiter was quick enough to come over and recommended a nice glass of wine.Ordered the bruschetta and 2 pastas. Waited about 30 mins for the bruschetta and almost another hour for the pastas. We were so hungry then we ate it in about 5 mins, then left.No apology for the delay. Very strange.Food was ok, nothing special, but good enough.Restaurant looked nice. Waiter and waitress both nice people.However, the very long wait for the food ruined it for us. We won't be back.

7. Ferrari Pizza
Reviewed By Thomas A
Been using these guys for years. Have tried other pizza restaurants over the years, which have been better, but they eventually sell out and become rubbish. But Ferrari have remained a constant, so can always rely on them. They do the usual pizzas at a consistent quality and fair price. I wouldn't move away from a pizza place I was already happy with, but if you don't have one, they're ok...

This âupmarketâ Italian restaurant is tucked away in a commercial precinct, not far from Brandon Park shopping centre.The best thing is: parking is not a problem! At least, not on the Saturday when we visited for a family birthday celebration.The white table cloths and napkins add a certain âje ne sais quoiâ to the place: as waiter extraordinarie, Nikolas, expertly rolls and folds your napkin during your absence from the table!Nikolas was so very patient with our table - especially a 90 year old mother who likes to make difficult for everyone these days!The menu is very different from ârun of the millâ Italian restaurants and is a little on the adventurous side. A case in point is the swordfish two of us ordered: it was rare in the middle. As someone who only has well done steak, hamburgers - and salmon - I was quite taken aback that it was not cooked through. Upon being informed this was how ppl like swordfish to be cooked - I said that I would have liked to have been asked how I would like it cooked. Nikolas agreed to take my comment on board. But, as a baby boomer Iâve been around a while(!) and have travelled quite a bit and have eaten at a lot of restaurants in Australia and overseas - and I have never encountered âmedium rareâ swordfish before. It also means the fish is quite âtoughâ to eat - but admittedly, this was a very thick, generous piece.Be warned: Sette Bello is no cheap Italian. Main courses cost around $38 - while steak was $46. The pasta dishes are only marginally cheaper. The sides are $9 each - but the French fries were the best Iâve tasted!Desserts are around $16 each - but I highly recommend the lemon ricotta-filled cannoli at $4.50 each. We ordered 2 between 4 ppl and had trouble finishing it although it was delicious.Coffee was great, too!The restaurant had a lovely ambience - and thatâs mainly because the wait staff are so welcome and obliging. This Saturday lunch time was very busy - with ppl coming at various times in the lunchtime period.

Went here last week for the second time. Just fantastic.Had the pasta although itâs mainly a pizza restaurant. Had the pumpkin ravioli with burned butter and it was excellent (although the portion size was a little small). Also had a glass of wine which was pretty good too.Place was full on both occasions but the staff managed to get us a seat. Can get a little noisy with a large crowd there but it was still ok. Staff are efficient, friendly and attentive.Really enjoyed both visits, Iâll be back.

Great little coffee shop/cafe in Oakleigh.Staff are Italian which was great to see.Great coffee and fresh selection of cakes and lunch menu.Nice and small meaning you're not overwhelmed with crowds of people and can enjoy a coffee in peace.
