    What a phenomenal fine dining experience. The service was so patient and memorable, and my goodness, to have a restaurant that has a whole plant based menu that isn’t two items is incredible. Everything on there was sensational. You must try the house made olives they are something else!! So glad to have discovered this gem.

    Delicious food beautifully cooked. Sat up near the open kitchen but actually prefer down in the bar area for atmosphere.

    Great looking restaurant inside, quiet and friendly staff. Food was ordinary, oily pasta dishes almost cold, says chili flavored but just sour. I doubt if pasta was made on site as suggested. Very very small servings. Salad was just leaves with a drizzle of vinegar. I almost asked to speak with the chef. Worst most unauthentic Italian food I’ve ever had, I have dined around the world and this was a poor example of Italian food. Would not recommend this place.

    Absolutely outstanding! The food was authentic and bursting with flavour. We ordered Spaghetti alla puttanesca & Squid ink linguine with crab meat/prawns, and both dishes were delightful. The warm, welcoming service by Keri made the experience even more special—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. A must-visit Italian gem in Mornington!

    Comfortable atmosphere. Our host Craig, was very cordial and knowledgeable. Great and attentive service with good food. The highlight was the squid ink linguine which was a tasty and generous serve. Would like to see a more extensive menu however that is just my personal preference. Will definitely be returning.
