Yummiest gelato in Melbourne we think! Long queues especially on weekends and after dinner times, so plan to visit off peak times to avoid the queues. Try the peanut butter or the pistachio gelato

One of the best pizzas around. Quirky hidden gem only the locals know about, away from the touristy Lygon Street. Fresh and authentic.
If you want to eat pizzas, we could not recommend this place enough. But for pastas, head to Lygon Street.
It's right beside a park so you may even want to get takeaway pizza and eat at the park instead.
Expect to spend between $18-35 per person and it's usually crowded if you go at peak dinner time.

One of our favourites places along Lygon Street. We come here regularly since 2004! Friendly staff and plenty of Ferrari memorabilia.
The pastas are great and the steak is not too bad. The pasta Cardinale is highly recommended.
