Funghi e Tartufo' - Italian plant based restaurant

Who ever said that to eat vegan and earth friendly food you need to renounce the delicacies of traditional Italian cuisine?
Our Chef Alessandra D'Angelo moved to Australia from Sicily in 2009 and she has been working incessantly on vegetarian and vegan recipes since then.

At Funghi e Tartufo, she have turned plant-based food into something so delicious that you won't desire anything else!

In a converted 19th century warehouse in the heart of Melbourne CBD, Funghi e Tartufo – meaning Mushrooms and Truffle in honour of their signature dish – will offer you a unique experience leaving you breathless.

The inspiration is traditional Italian and the vision is a modern and earth friendly way to marry deliciousness with plant based food.

    Excellent service by the lass on the floor with her knowledge of the menu and served without interupting the table and served everyone correctly.

    Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVED the vegan food. Just absolutely glorious and to die for!! I'll be dreaming about that food for years. The only issues we had was the additional charges that weren't relayed to us. At the start the waitress said, "I'll get you some water. Would you like clear or sparkling?". We said sparkling. We did not ask for this, we were offered this. We were then charged $10 for sparkling water. We spent $200 at the venue, and when we were paying the waitress said, "is that a credit or debit card?". My husband accidentally said credit, but then I corrected him and told her it was a debit card. But we were then charged $4 for a credit card fee. We were then asked to pay a tip. I would 180% return here for the food. But I was quite upset

    Been wanting to eat here for awhile, i was left really disappointed and although i know it was a busy night for valentine’s day so the service was short staffed. The food was not worth the price i was paying, we ordered, Polenta, bread, gnocchi and carbonara. The polenta was watery and flavourless and dry at the same time, strange eating texture. The gnocchi was ok but wasn’t actually covered in any sauce and the sauce was a bit runny (again watery?) and i felt like i could have made it better at home, as felt like i was just eating potatoes and drinking soup. The bread did not taste fresh and being toasted didn't help cover that up. The carbonara was the only dish that was possibly worth the price serving size was pretty ok, and i did like the smokey flavours. With the the reputation of your restaurant i'm sure you can do better and was possibly just a busy night, so i’m not going to do a google review however i hope u take this feedback on board as a plant based fine dining Italian restaurant in melbourne is such a great addition to our eatery, would like to return for a better experience in the future.

    Worst meal we had in a very long time. 3 people, 3 dishes, one worst than the other. And, by the way, over-priced. Don’t even think about it.

    Almost all dishes a big hit with this omni family group. Pea pesto and tomato bruschetta enjoyed by all for starters. Pasta choices (lasagna, mushrooms and carbonara all hits) and calamari especially great, chicken very hard, not a good choice unfortunately. Meatloaf also tasty, would like to come back and try polpette. Desserts excellent too, we had chocolate cheesecake, tiramisu and caggionetti, all great but very sweet. Only criticism apart from my hard flavourless chicken was the seeming lack of air conditioning. Everyone enjoyed and wants to return, thank you.

    A wonderful opportunity to have a full menu offering for vegetarians. No need to search through for the limited veg options. Food was great. Tables outside are a little tight and squishy. Overall a really good experience.

    We had high expectations of Funghi E Tartufo, and we were not disappointed. We were delighted! We shared the Arancini Balls between 3 of us - very satisfying. For mains we ordered Funghi E Tartufo (signature dish), Spaghetti Carbonara and the house Meat Loaf. Spectacular!! Both pasta dishes were rich, creamy and flavourful - you would never know it was plant-based. Sooo.... yummy, but not too rich. The meatloaf was a cut above any "real" meatloaf I have ever eaten. This 'meatloaf' came in 2 'fillets' that had a 'meaty' texture but fell apart once it was inside your mouth. Never tasted anything like it, and the texture was sensational. Best mock meat ever!! We accompanied these dishes with a pear, rocket and walnut salad - absolutely perfect side dish. Delicious on it's own, but once combined with any of these dishes, it cut through the rich dishes, creating contrast and next level flavour combinations. For dessert, go the chocolate cheesecake - to die for!!
