University Cafe

Very very tasty food and good service! We spent an evening here and had a good time. The welcome was friendly. We were led directly to the place. Both the appetizer the main course and the dessert tasted perfect! Who is looking for a successful evening with authentic Italian food will find it here. Highly recommended!

Great service… fresh cook pasta and food.. I prefer this restaurant over Papa Gino.. in terms of both the food and service although the taste of food sometimes are inconsistent.. but 5 stars for their service.. I wouldn’t order the tiramisu again because of the extremely small portion and the taste is not really that good, maybe other dessert or cakes next time..

It’s the worst dining experience recently. The chips are not crunchy, and the price is definitely too high for the quality of food. Waiters here are very passive, never refilled the water unless you ask. The restaurant looks very fancy but the food disappointed me.

Very nice restaurant, the tables outside are a little uncomfortable but the dishes were very good, gnocchi al pomodoro with superb tomato sauce, the “scarpetta” is a must… Staff very friendly.

Nice ambience! We love Pizza Margherita. Wonderful for simple traditional and meatless pizza option!

This place is the best Italian in Melbourne. Visit every time I am in town. Great staff, great price and perfect food. Would highly recommend. Take your whole family! Perfect for any occasion.

I would never usually order an italian dish anywhere, let alone go to an Italian restaurant – simply because I refuse to pay for something I could cook better myself at home; but a friend wanted to go for dinner, so we ended up here as it’s always busy so must be good right? If you’re a true foodie/chef/whatever, then this place is not going to blow your mind. Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with our meals but I stand by my opinion that I can cook better pasta dishes at home.

Had carbonara gnocchi. Was delicious and I wish the portion could be a bit more just because the price is a bit pricey

I went here on a busy Saturday night in Lygon Street & would Definitely return. The staff were V accommodating, fitting in a large party I was w, w/out a booking & the food & service were Fab! GR8T atmosphere & V Highly recommended.

Pasta was good, but a bit lacking in seasoning. The reserved table near the bar was much too small for three people, so one person sat in the middle of the busy aisle. Quite expensive for what was offered.
