Really good food and service to match. Not cheap but good value nonetheless. Convenient location close to theatres helps

We went here for our 40th wedding anniversary and it was a very special night out. The service was wonderful. We were greeted by name and made to feel very welcome. The upstairs room is spacious and very private - no overhearing other conversations and no two tables arrive at the same time thus ensuring excellent service. The meal was... More

My last visit to Florentino was during the Prodgor era just after the first remodeling of the entire building in the 90's. It was time for a revisit and I can not even do it justice in any way or form as the magic can only be experienced and not read. We were cellebrating Joana's birthday, and decided to go... More

once again we are back in Melbourne and once again we came back for more great food at Grossi This time we both had the veal spare ribs and they just melted in your mouth and fell off the bone. The duck parfait as an entree was silky smooth but you need more bread. Service was excellent as usual. There... More

After 2 previous days of degustation meals, a simple italian evening was just the thing. This restaurant reminds me of so many where they have been established for decades and you cant help but overhearing conversations of .."I remember coming here 30 years ago ,..." We enjoyed a meal at 'The Grill' section and my seafood spaghettini with garlic, olive... More

Amazing experience! The attention to detail is outstanding, from the service to the food. Totally agree with the comment about the young "Hugh Grant" waiter :). Made a special night unforgettable. Thank you!

At first impression this looked wonderful, the menu was very appealing and the staff quite amicable and cheerful upon our arrival. We started with Bruschetta, which was excellent (maybe even the best i've had), however from then on everything went down hill. The following portions were exaggeratedly small for their price and weren't even anything special. The service started to... More

A highlight to the end of a conference was our final dinner at Grossi Florentino. They did an exceptional job of catering for the 80 odd diners in their beautiful upstairs room. There was a limited menu choice (5 choices for each of 3 courses) but the selection was excellent and a refreshing and indulgent change from the very limited... More
