Is it worth going out of your way for?

It's a solid neighbourhood Italian with a strong wine focus and wood‑fired cooking, best for locals or those already in the Carlton area.

It's for groups wanting a relaxed, wine‑forward dinner in a warm, soulful room, not for a formal tasting menu experience.

What should you order?

Order from the wood‑fired kitchen: the mezze maniche alla carbonara, the crumbed pork costoletta, or the calamarata with prawns and calamari.

Anything to know before you go?

It's closed on Tuesdays. Opening hours are generally from 5pm, with later service on Friday and Saturday nights.
