One of the best meal I've had in some time. The service was exceptional from start to end, and I couldn't fault any of the dishes. We went for the Chef's Menu with a few add on, and we left with our tummy filled to the brim. The spanner crab on toasted brioche was a textural delight, and bursting with fresh and bright flavours. Pasta was cooked to perfection, and the simple heirloom tomatoes tasted like summer in a dish. Definitely a must visit.
Came here for the wife’s birthday celebration - we left happy diners! Some of the dishes were average (the appetizers) but the mains were amazing! Especially the bugs - highly recommend. Service was also great, they even did a kid’s pasta for my older daughter even though it was off the menu. Would return for sure!
First time here and had a great time, jam packed full of people being the first day out of lockdown but the staff all handled it like champs! The food was outstanding, tasty mushroom croquettes, whipped rainbow trout, tender beef carpaccio..... cant wait to head back and try some more.. washed it all down with a Spanish Grenache from Rioja, full bodied and delicous, one of the best and most extensive Wine lists i've seen in Melbourne, can search out some unique gems in this one. Great experience all round!!
Dimly lit but a very bright, vibrant and entertaining atmosphere. Busy chefs can be seen preparing the food. Mixed age group of savvy diners enjoying delicious food and drinks from an extensive wine list. Loved the Chef’s suggestions dishes. Food was superb. Service was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Don’t ask me for it’s name ‘cos it’s hard to remember!!
I am so impressed! The food was AMAZING from start to finish. Great wine selection and excellent service… been here many times before and will be back very soon
Best dining experience in Melbourne. Food is amazing and service is so good. Very special and interesting experience seating along the bar. Chefs are handsome and super friendly!
Food was amazing, meals are shared which I think is nice, make you interact more with the person your with. Service was flawless and fast, I barely noticed them refining drinks, changing cutlery, very good. Price wise it's definitely on the high side, but you can view their menu which has the prices before you go. I reccomend this place for a nice evening with your significant other or an occasion.
Came from Sydney to enjoy dinner here. Amazing. I would come back here if I came to Melbourne in a heart beat. Firstly would like to acknowledge the service. The waitress who accommodated us on the night was so friendly and lovely, comfortable to talk and answered all questions easily. The wines available were also great, loved the open kitchen and bar. The food was outstanding , ordered 7 dishes and not one didn’t hit the mark. The owner also gave us free desert wines to apologise for the wait for our booked table ( although we sat at the bar while we waited which was fine ). Always lovely to be acknowledged though for patience. Out of all the dining experiences in Melbourne , this was my favourite. Thanks again and look forward to coming back.
We celebrated our 29th Wedding Anniversay at Osteria Ilaria on 19 April 2021 and the food, service and venue were outstanding. The menu is beautiful and very eclectic! There is a very extensive wine list, but not overwhelming. The Chef was very engaging and even served us to our table. We will definitely be back, this place is truly special.
Great dinner for 8. Sophisticated atmosphere, warm service, delicious food. Very highly recommended.
