Went to La Camera over the Easter weekend on a quick trip to Melbourne and found it to be a great little restaurant. We ordered a few different dishes and really enjoyed all of it and was good value to. The waitresses were fantastic, very friendly and attentive. Overall a great night!

I have been to La Camera on several times and have always been very pleased with the service and quality of the foo. From a meal for two to an 80th birthday, all events have been greatly enjoyed at this location. If you can get a table outside.

Rushing along Chapel St. Need quick breakfast at 11.30 am. Too late for McDonald's and thank goodness. Breakfast special still available here! 2 eggs poached on toast, plus bacon and a latte - $6.90. All served within 5 minutes and delicious. Perfect golden eggs; yolks flowing like lava over the mountainous toast. Crispy bacon. Pleasant staff. Table decor a bit... More

Service very friendly and attentive, gnocchi was outstanding - can't beat it. Sat outside and enjoyed the people watching. Brushcetta to start very tasty and large. Gnocchi we had two ways and both were unbelievably silky and perfect.

Nice restaurant with indoor and outdoor (but covered) areas. Quite reasonable prices with lunch special deals. Good for all, families as well as groups. Serves a variety of food so a good selection for all types of eaters.

The pasta was very reminiscent of something you purchase from a supermarket. After the first few bites of my meal I realized I had eaten the same meal before but I made it myself with Latina packet pasta and sauce. I don't think it's really a great idea to pay someone 20 bucks to boil my pasta and pour sauce... More

We came here expecting a nice meal, just as the Southgate restaurant provides. We were wrong, the waitress- (asian girl with short hair) was very rude, the other one with long hair was nice. We waited about 40 minutes before the main meal came out, the entree (bowl of fries) came out after the main and was cold. It was... More

A really good restaurant in Southbank, very tasty and well priced meals. It's not cheap, it's great value. Pizzas are freak and wood fired and pastas are delicious, try the risotto with seafood!

La Camera fills a nice price point need..somewhere between the food court underneath and the 5-star Walters Wine Bar and the like. Called in for an early family dinner post-football yesterday. No complaints at all..food (Risotto, Gnocchi and Salmon steak were all tried) more than acceptable and the service friendly and attentive. THey even accepted our Entertainment Book voucher which,...
