Melbourne is proud of its neighborhood precincts, each offering a unique cultural experience. No other city in Australia has such clearly defined areas. This could be because Melbournians are both worldly in their outlook yet tribal in their local loyalties – as seen in the fanatical support for their local AFL football clubs.

We were so impressed with every aspect of Maha. Upon arrival the staff were exceptional; friendly, professional and clearly well versed in the menu. The drinks list was impressive, and I highly recommend the blackberry cocktail if you like sweet drinks. We enjoyed the 6 course degustation and enjoyed every element of this menu. Highlights were the smoked ocean trout and hummus in the first cours, the charred young leeks in second, the beef manti in fourth and slow roasted lamb shoulder in fifth. Maha have clearly worked hard to create a special dining experience. The character of the restaurant is a stand out as is the exceptional customer service from booking through to your final moments in the restaurant. Cannot wait to go back!

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 went here because of the excellent reviews, and because we were staying across the road for the week. We certainly we not let down. Promptly seated and given water and the menu. It is a very small place adjoining the QV markets, and can be accessed from the market when open, or from Victoria St. Ordered the following, Ternera Al Limon; Calamares; Fried Sardines, Patatas Asadas Con Mojo, which were all on the tapas menu, and followed these with Spanish Meatballs.All items very tasty, well presented, and full of flavour. The girl chef and her kitchen are very visible and it was great to see everything being prepared freshly before your eyes.I could not fault anything tonight and we were both very impressed. Total inc two glasses of red wine, was $112 for both of us. We walked away extremely satisfied and will have to return to try the rest of the tapas menu.Muchisimas gracias! Thank you very much for your compliments & time to Review us. We pride ourselves on happy staff and delicious Spanish food being served. So happy to hear you will come back and enjoy more of the Taste of Spain in Melbourne CBD.

An intimate, relatively small Italian restaurant in Melbourne CBD. White linen table cloths and experienced professional staff who set out to ensure dining there is enjoyable. A la carte menu and selection of daily blackboard specials offer plenty of temptation. Good wine list by glass or bottle. From the outstanding complimentary crusty bread to start, through entree, main and dessert, everything was first class. While a nice atmosphere, close proximity table spacing may put some off, especially for confidential or romantic discussions - however it appeared staff are aware of this and if not full, make every effort to seat incoming diners with space apart from others. Highly recommended for an excellent Italian meal and experience.

This has to be one of the best italian restaurants Iâve eaten at. The place is beautifully small and like a typical little trattoria. The menu is small but has something for everyone. We went with our two children and the staff bent over backwards to accomodate them. The scaloppine were tender and very tasty. Our antipasti was the best I have had and not dripping in oil and vinegar with the tastes of each dish individually distinguished.To save the best for last, they made a Zabaglione to die for. I have hardly ever seen a restaurant put that on the menu.Definitely a place to come back to as there were a lot of dishes coming out of the kitchen which looked amazing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
