Nestled amongst riverside treetops on Southgate’s mid level, La Camera boasts two balconies with stunning views over The Yarra River and iconic Flinders Street Station. The interior is adorned with vintage black-and-white photographs depicting the history of the family that has owned and operated the restaurant since it opened in 2000. La Camera Southgate offers an array of authentic Italian dishes including unique Roman-style pizzas, authentic Pappardelle Ox Cheek from Trastevere-Rome and by far the most delectable Tiramisu in town. The emphasis is on quality ingredients, and fresh seasonal produce.

Our group enjoyed their visit. Of the seven of us, six meals were fabulous, with one saying her seafood pasta was the best she’s ever eaten. The beef cheeks were disappointing. Value of the meals was good and our table on the balcony were great. Highly recommend.

La Camera is always a safe option for good service and food. It can be somewhat noisy so challenging to have a conversation.

Hi Debbie, Thanks so much for your great feedback. Yes hardly a day goes by without someone mentioning it's the best pizza. It's a Roman-style pizza with a great texture, crispy and thin base. We look forward to seeing you back. Kind regards, Paul Scidone Manager
