Curated Multi-Course Degustation Journeys
Guests can indulge in multi-course tasting and degustation menus paired with curated Italian wines, highlighted by signature handmade dishes like crab squid ink spaghetti.
We thoroughly enjoyed each stunning and beautifully presented, and very authentic Italian course of the degustation menu, along with recommended Italian wines to match.
Yvonne Grisaffe Table-Side Pasta Finishing
Attention to detail extends to distinctive table-side presentation, including warming sauces poured right before guests over handcrafted pasta shapes.
I especially loved the dish where the sauce was poured right at the table over the pasta shaped like a delicate rose.
Lina Meier Personalized Milestone Celebrations
Milestone anniversaries and birthdays receive dedicated, discreet hospitality with thoughtful personalized surprises.
They asked of an occasion, and at the end of our meal we were surprised with a lovely gesture of "happy anniversary" in chocolate and a small scoop of gelato.
Sigrid Dawborn Accommodating Family Dining
High-end dining extends a genuine welcome to multi-generational groups, catering smoothly to guests dining with babies and children.
We had our 3 month old daughter with us and the service team were very accommodating and helpful throughout the whole dining experience.
Christopher Fairley Laneway Outdoor Dining with Dogs
Patrons can savor top-tier Italian cuisine outdoors under the stars along Grosvenor Lane with their dogs warmly accommodated beside them.
The added benefit is the welcome given to dogs when you eat outside under the stars.
Steve Picton Unhurried End-of-Evening Atmosphere
Guests enjoy a late-evening atmosphere free from turn limits or hurried service, with no pressure to wrap up or rush the bill.
Whilst we were finished eating and drinking, and the last patrons too, there was no pressure to wrap up the evening and pay the bill.
