  • Melbourne Food & Wine Festival : AN ODE TO AUTUMN

    A$185.00 per person

    Mar 22, 2025 only
    “Autumn is my favourite season,” says head chef Philippa Sibley, who will bring the forest floor to the Pinotta dining room. Think artichokes and chestnuts. Game, pigeon and yabbies. Figs and blackberries, foraged and turned into treats both savoury and sweet. Slow down and enjoy the last of the long afternoons. A collaboration of season, inspiration, food and wine, and perhaps a hint of poetry. Ticket price includes five courses from Phillipa Sibley and matched wines from winemaker Alex Byrne.

    No wonder this place was absolutely chockers inside and out on a warm Fitzroy evening! Very welcoming vibe and great service, excellent wines to choose from and the meal was delicious. Always reliably enjoyable!

    This is a fabulous place to enjoy excellent high quality food at a real price with good friends. The only issue was the place was too loud, a few soft furnishings would help. I will be back and recommend it to others. Thanks Julia

    Limited choice, small portions (gnocchi), lack of preparation, inattentive service and severely overpriced - not worthy of a hat

    I ordered a pasta, squid ink and prawns it said, suggested by the waiter which costed $45. The dish had some tiny pieces of prawns that you could count on one of your hands with no sauce at all. It was dry, it was tasteless. Paying $45 for that was a total waste of my money. I could have bought a bag of quality prawns with this money and i get that i chose to dine there but honestly what do they charge their customers for? Having won one hat doesn't and shouldn't mean you have to overcharge your customers by compromising what you serve them. I've been to this place many times before. They've increased their prices ridiculously. They have only two pasta dishes one costing $40 and the other $45. The $40 is just gnocchi with tomato sauce and cheese. Just make it home with the same money and eat for one week or find another place cheaper. Melbourne has plenty of them. Don't be deluded by their recent one hat.
