The best pork belly I have eaten anywhere in the world. This place delivers on flavour and quality, albeit service can be a tad rough and ready. Many of my Air Bnd guests have eaten here and loved it.

I have travelled Italy more than 5 times, and I can honestly say that this place rivals restaurants from the motherland. Truly authenic Italian - one of Melbourne's best.
