The best restaurants serving Italian food in Brunswick and Adelaide Brighton and Hove South East

As always, the food is top-notch, perfectly prepared and delicious. I've never been disappointed. I'm always completely satisfied. On top of that, the service is fantastic and the atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. Thank you guys!

Waiter place wrong food order with kitchen- so my partner and I ate at different times. Our waiter hugely rushed us, coming over every 2 minutes to push us to make the next decision. It was unpleasant as we felt under pressure by his constant return to the table. We were all done in under an hour. Not relaxing at all. No doubt- food is amazing though!

We booked the upstairs room. 26 people. All pre-ordered a week in advance. As a retired chef that has run restaurants around the world I feel I have to draw attention to our dreadful experience of this establishment. I honestly dont know where to start. I sampled 5 different peoples pizzas sat on my table. Flaccid and flavourless with a very odd texture. Lifeless quaggy food. I have never seen so much food left on plates with such confused faces. One of the 1st pizzas to leave the kitchen was inedible. So undercooked you could barely slice it. It took a lot of convincing to have it removed from the final bill. It was awful. My Carbonara dish was dire. Whatever cheese you are using in this kitchen to flavour your dishes, please stop. The Whitebait was inedible. The Calamari rings undercooked and again flaccid. Sadly the food ordered for the "birthday boy" was a disaster. Perhaps some education on Dairy-free options will fix this. The upstairs space is lovely; light and airy with plenty of room to accommodate a large group. But, upon arrival to set up at the time booked, the place was filthy. Knowing we were coming the venue was disorganised, drinks fridges turned off, counter tops filthy. WE had to clean it up, NOT the two members of staff. Both of whom had zero training in hospitality or attention to detail. The young girl was clueless on how to correctly serve tables and follow up simple requests. The young man assigned to the upstairs room for our evening of celebration was one of the rudest I have ever seen. Calling a Mother in her 50's who booked the space "darling" well over half a dozen times even after being asked not to do it, an extremely patronising and condescending way to treat a paying female customer. This was in response to errors in both the running of our night and the final, very confusing, billing. There was zero consistancy with what we ordered and what was on the bill. I hate to be the person that writes this, it has to be really bad for me to voice my disgust but I witnessed so much love and thought go into the organisation of this important birthday celebration. Sadly the venue, the kitchen and the staff failed miserably on all levels. I hope things improve for this restaurant. As a group of 26 adults there was a lot of dissapointment. Not a night to remember.

Lovely wood fired pizza and a bowl of pasta. Felt and tasted like Italy.

Quite gouda! Genuinely Italian which is nice!

BUONISSIMO. As a native Italian, I have high expectations and they very much delivered! We had great pasta and pizza and the service was very friendly. Great espresso. Bonus is that the staff actually speak Italian!! Will definitely be back :)

I've had a drink here once or twice before, there is a nice outside terrace. It has lovely quite elegant decor, the staff where friendly and attentive. This time i had a meal with family, lovely and fair value pasta dishes, I would definitely eat there again. It is also in a good position on Church Road, not too far from George Street shops or the seafront.
