Reviews

  • A Melbourne classic with a backstory as good as the food. The menu rarely changes — and doesn’t need to. Pasta is consistently excellent, portions are generous, and the wine comes in old-school water glasses. It books out fast, so be ready to share a table if that’s the only way in. Tiramisu’s a standout. No frills, just great food. Worth it every time.

  • Do book, friendly service but limited menu and options to edit meals. But everything was cooked with love..like nonna's. It's so amazing! Lamb slow cooked with rich real tomato sauce. The chocolate mousse was fantastic. I wish they advertised there was alcohol in it but I haven't had something so rich and light/airy at the same time. I will return, hungry for more. Good prices.

  • Very tasty pasta! Service is very friendly and attentive. Fantastic option for solo, couples or small groups. Recommend to book to make sure you get a table. I was lucky as a walk in. So busy and lots of options

  • The food was amazing as usual. Very big portions and all the food seasoned well. The lamb shanks were the main attraction. Tender and very tasty and two shanks. I feel that the prices were different (higher) than the lunch prices. $9 for a can 300ml of Coke Zero, how's that reasonable?

  • Great place for a quick reliable meal before going elsewhere to enjoy your night’s entertainment. I had the saltimbocca which which delicious. The only concern is not knowing how much meals are when you order from the menu board. So the $40 dish was a surprise! Our wait tess Amber was attentive and friendly, the perfect wait tess.

  • Dinner on Thursday night - 57 pp no split bill We ordered fungi pasta, Tortellini Bolognese, bruschetta and two crepes (jam&lemon). They open at 5:30pm but so many people lined up outside. I do recommend making a reservation before you go! The tomatoes on the bruschetta was so sweet and the bread is crispy. The fungi pasta was a bit less sauce and taste. Overall we had great meal and time.

  • Not a bad spot to have a generous serve meal. Didn’t book so sat on the share table which was fine. Glass of wine came in a tumbler which was very rustic and novel. All in all a good place to have a meal.

  • We've been to the Waiters Restaurant twice this year on Date Nite, and both times have been great. The food is delicious, no-fuss Italian. It's consistent, and really well priced by comparison with the other Italian in the city. We've has the mushroom pasta, gnocci, and risotto, and they were all delicious, generous serves. Definitely a spot for good, reasonably priced food.
