Very busy restaurant in a central location. Bookings would be essential. All 3 of us really enjoyed our meals. My scallop and pork belly starter was superb. Service was excellent even given our waiter was on his first day. Very prompt with just the right spacing between courses. Would highly recommend.

Il Solito Posto is a great bistro with consistently good food and service. The ambience in this little cellar space is always great as well, although it can get chilly on a cold day! Food wise, we both had a very interesting chicken liver pasta, which was really tasty and an excellent Tiramisu. This is one of those bistros where... More

This was a quirky little restaurant/cafe that I discovered by accident walking up an alley way near the grand hyatt hotel. Opposite what was Jamie Oliver's original restaurant in Melbourne the first time I found it I didn't even see a name plate on the door however this time I noticed a name above the door.

I was shown this place mid 2012 and had become my go to Italian restaurant when looking for a good quality dinner. Definitely recommend this place, I normally go the meatballs and some red wine, goes down a treat. From my experiences, the waiters have been great - jovial yet efficient and happy to have a bit of banter

Great food and intelligent service. Interesting wine list with a mix of Australian and Italian wines and staff know all about them have an opinion and are willing to guide. I typically have the pasta which is always beautiful and full if fresh flavour. Face is the prawn pasta. They always have yummy fresh oysters. Choc pudding to die for.

Such a lovely restaurant...full of atmosphere, excellent service and great food. My partner enjoyed the Italian omelette and my breakfast of toast with avocado, chilli and rocket was a perfect start to the day. The coffee was also done perfectly.
