    Flinders Lane’s Best Kept Secret

    Established in 2005, we were among the first of the new school restaurants in Flinders Lane. Throughout the years our chefs have focused on a contemporary Australian interpretation of rustic Italian cuisine. 2nd generation Italian-Australian comfort food if you will; Italian enough for nonna and Australian enough for multicultural Melbourne.

    The venue itself is located in a historic 3 level warehouse which was the former site of Melbourne CBD’s RSL, dating back to the 1920’s. The address also happens to be the start of the Duckboard Place & AC/DC lane graffiti murals loop. With one of the largest footprints in Melbourne, we pride ourselves on offering lower density seating arrangements that’s conducive to both business and more intimate conversation.

    We provide a professional but informal service style. Emphasis is on attentiveness without the formality. Our staff have an affinity for indie rock which is always on air across our dining rooms. With 3 bars in the venue, we always have a vast selection of quality beverages to choose from. Reservations and walk ins of all shapes and sizes are welcome.
