    First time dining at this well known restaurant I had high expectations after hearing so many good things and it did not disappoint! The service was impeccable, from being greeted by the hostess to our friendly and attentive waitress and the efficient food servers. We had gnocchi fritto, duck pappardelle, the octopus risotto special, salad and semi freddo and millefeuille for dessert. All dishes were presented well (the pappardelle was thoughtfully divided in 2 individual plates as we were sharing) and so fresh and flavoursome. The duck pappardelle was the standout - rich flavours and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Even with 3 courses, we were in and out in 1.5 hours without rushing (very good for a business lunch when you're on the clock! We had noted this on the reservation). To sum up: food 5, service 5, ambience 5, it's a yes from me :) Might check out the Toorak venue next.

    Cecconis is a Melbourne institution of good old fashioned service and amazing food quality. Could not find fault in anyway.

    The food was delightful and of good value. Customer service is probably the only thing for improvement. It took a while to get the waiters' attention.
