Fourth time here and not one disappointment. The food is great, another level in comparison to any other restaurant in Melbourne. The service fantastic and professional with some of the best Italians in Australia. The owner is a careful and caring person, always there, for anything you need. If I could I would come back tomorrow

Just arrived in Melbourne and went to trendy Carlton, not sure what to expect from this Italian restaurant. It didn't start off well, There was only a half portion of Cannelloni left for me, my partner had the last full portion. I has happy to have only the half portion with a salad. Lori the owner was distraught that there was not enough for a full portion for me.So she offered me any alternative I wanted, didn't"charge for the salad, offered us both a sweet and a liquor. I then asked if she could order a taxi for us, she went outside to get a taxi, because were difficult to obtain she even offerd the taxi driver a coffee to take us back to our hotel. Talk about going the extra mile. By the way the Cannelloni was great.

A Malaysian restaurant serving traditional and contemporary Malaysian dishes for the past 28 years. Home Delivery and take away available, licensed, BYO wine and champagne only.

My partner lives in Moonee Ponds currently I’m down visiting and he suggested Jacks.
In my opinion your food is flavoured beautifully one of those restaurants where you don’t need to overstate what is on the plate to feel the full force of flavours.
You have an understated restaurant with an over the top fantastic menu and the customer service is the bonus.
Modesty is the key to your success and you are a real gem in a location out of the city.

A great place to share fabulous Middle Eastern dishes with family and friends. Started with variety of dips then stacks of shared smalls and mains - spicy chicken wings, meatballs, eggplant, lamb (fantastic) and more. Wine and cocktails a winner too. Upmarket place with friendly vibe. Every table on our night was having a great time. Plenty of parking in side streets.

A colleague put me onto this restaurant and it was great.
The entree was to die for. Cannot remember the exact name, but it was a shaved meat/charcuterie dish with buffalo cheese and Parmesan cheese. That was absolutely enough for me and 2 other of my table as it was magnificent!
But then onto the mains....
The Dry aged beef was incredible. My cut was rib eye on the bone 'rare' and it was incredible. Cooked to perfection.
I didn't have dessert, but of the 5 of us, 4 did. Three had Tiramisu and wait for it - they bring out the biggest bowl of all time and give the biggest piece possible.
All said it was amazing.
Total cost with entrees, main meal and 4 (of 5) desserts was incredibly reasonable for the quality of food and 3 bottles of wine.
Not for kids at all and was very surprised they did not cater at all for vegetarians.
Definitely will go again.

Scoozi is a new kid on the block, but while this restaurant is only a few months old, its artisanal pizza and Sicilian regional specialties are already finding favour with locals, located on Union Road near the showgrounds. Scoozis' menu draws inspiration from Nonna's cooking, offering fresh and new ingredients into the mix.The wood fired oven cooks at a blistering 520 Celsius and ensures an authentic pizza in 90 seconds
Reviewed By Sergio P - Melbourne, Australia
In my opinion you can always gauge the quality of a pizza shop based on the taste of their margarita. Scoozi's margarita is possibly the best I've experienced anywhere including Naples. The base was fantastic, ingredients great quality and fresh. The other pizzas we ordered...MoreThank you for the lovely review Sergio! We hope to see you again soon!

Spanish Cuisine
Reviewed By Samhain73
I have been here twice now. Both times I have had the Tapas recommended by the staff and have never been steered wrong. Tasty dishes complementing each other quite nicely.
A nice cosy atmosphere although can get a little noisy due to its size.
All in all and enjoyable place to eat with friends.
Oh. And don't forget desert. Yummm

Reviewed By FastaEdy - Melbourne
Had been looking forward to returning here as we had a fantastic food experience recently. Very busy Saturday night and lucky to be seated on arrival without a booking. Must have been a bad night in the kitchen as although everything that we ordered landed on our table quickly and seemed fresh and portion sizes good nothing seemed to suit our palates, perhaps We have gone off Thai food ?? Fantastic service as usual but it is on the expensive side. Will return, highly recommend if You love Thai food.
