The best lamb paparadelli and Margarita pizza I've had in years. Food takes a bit but that's because it's made to order. Watch the chef throw your crust while you wait! Perfect location for people watching on the holiday.

Came here for a quick feed before going to the cinema, and was very pleasantly surprised with how good the food was! Had been intending to visit for what feels like a decade now, but never made it in. As one of the few places open in that awkward lunch-dinner lull period (4-5:30pm), it provides a great option for people trying to catch a 6pm screening at Hoyts. We ordered the crab tagliatelle and ravioli, both of which were spectacular. The ravioli sauce was delectable - not sure what's in it (just says 3 varieties of tomato), but it has a great umami flavour. They give you a tonne of ravioli too! Sizeable helpings, and service was quick considering the time of visit. Only issue was the tables for 2-seaters were rickety from missing feet on the legs. Was a bit annoying. Will definitely come again to try out more of the menu

I was here today (Thursday) and the restaurant was quite busy, but despite that the service was outstanding. It really is true that Italians always do better. Special thanks to the two Italian guys on the floor, who made the group experience truly wonderful, and to the girl at the bar all of them were extremely professional, kind, and attentive. I will definitely come back!

Their dishes will live rent free in my head for a long time! Honestly the opening to the experience could have been 3 star, however I’m not one to judge a book by its cover - so we persisted. Don’t write it off - they care! And they are 11/10. My partner and I came here 3 months prior and visited for that dish however the menu is seasonal and that’s ok. The crab tagliatelle & kale chicken salad are to die for - a literal flavour explosion. We could not get enough of it! The care that our subsequent waitstaff had to ask about our meals, the Italian manager checking in on us and making sure we are happy made this place truly special - a play where food and repeat customers are truly valued. This fabulous restaurant is a bolt hold in the shire foodie scene.

We had a fantastic experience at Salt Meats Cheese doing their Bottomless Brunch on Saturday. It was fantastic value for money and the service was excellent. There were 9 of us and the friendly staff were always checking on us and insuring that we had a fresh drink whenever we wanted one. Great choice of cocktails and drinks and the food was amazing and there was plenty of it. Highly Recommend
