Cicciolina’s has been a Melbourne institution since the early 90’s. Their kitchen has a seemingly simple and pure ethic – serving good food all the time. The cuisine is modern, seasonal and always flavoursome. Some say it’s romantic, others dine here for a special occasion, the rest are locals or fortunate enough to eat here regularly. The service is always exceptional with charming, knowledgable staff that make your experience pleasant and memorable.
A heart warming bistro for lovers of intimate and comforting atmospheres. The Back Bar next door is also a lovely place for a pre-dinner drink, a quiet morsel or dessert, and perfect for the beginning’s of a courtship.
