Such an amazing experience from start to finish.
We came in for a quick dinner before heading to the airport and mentioned we only had about an hour. The team were so attentive and thoughtful, bringing dishes out as soon as they were ready so we could enjoy everything without feeling rushed. We didn’t have time for entrees, but the mains and sides we ordered were absolutely delicious.
To top it off, I realised I might have lost my ring while we were there (I wasn’t even sure if it happened at the restaurant, but it was a possibility). We called as soon as I realised, and the team immediately helped look around our table, the bathroom, and even the used hand towel basket. When it couldn’t be found, the owner asked the cleaners to leave the sweepings overnight so he could personally go through them the next day and promised to let us know if they found it. He even offered to send it to me in another state if needed.
The next day, he contacted us to let us know the ring had been found. I’m honestly so grateful for the care and effort they went to – it’s truly above and beyond anything we could have expected. Everyone was genuinely so kind and caring, and my friends and I were blown away by how sweet and attentive the team were throughout this whole experience.
TL;DR: Food is fantastic and the service goes way above and beyond. Would 100% come back and recommend to anyone.

Da Guido completely surprised us—in the best possible way. The quality of the food was exceptional, far exceeding expectations, and every dish was delicious , and we had the pleasure of having some dishes explained with passion by the chef, which made the experience even more special. The atmosphere is beautiful: cozy yet refined, with perfect music, lovely décor( Murano glass from Italy glasses and decor!), and a warm, inviting vibe throughout the evening. A special shout-out to Mirko, the owner, whose genuine warmth and attention made us feel truly at home. This is the kind of place where great food, people, and ambience come together effortlessly. We’ll absolutely be back.

An incredible dining experience. The flavours, presentation and atmosphere were divine. Every bite was heaven! I never knew octopus could be so tender and delicate. Biggest compliments to the chef!! ❤️

Had the best dinner tonight, Arrived in Melbourne late the restaurant stayed open for us even though the kitchen was due to close at 9:30 pm and we arrived 5 minutes after that time. We started with the Burrata, then had four different pastas. Each pasta got better than the previous. It was a really pleasurable dinning experience, from the first phone call to seeing if they were still open and could serve us. To a heartwarming welcome, very attentive service and having the chef explaining his dishes with love and pride. The desserts are also of the chain. Highly recommend, wish l get photos of it all

This restaurant changes its menu every year, and they’ve added a new chef this year — but unfortunately, the quality has noticeably declined compared to last year. Some of the signature dishes that were once outstanding, including the tiramisu, calamari, squid ink pasta, and the classic Italian bolognese, have all dropped significantly in standard. These used to be the highlights of the menu, so the change is genuinely disappointing. I really hope the restaurant considers bringing back the original flavours and recipes for these dishes, because they were what made this place special in the first place.

Da Guido La Pasta is a place that draws you in with confidence rather than noise. From the first plate it is clear this is a kitchen that values patience, balance, and the quiet authority of knowing when to stop.
The roast beef carpaccio arrives sliced to near translucence, tender and clean, its flavour deepened by porcini and marinated oyster mushrooms. It is restrained, earthy, and assured, the kind of dish that reminds you how powerful simplicity can be when executed properly.
The barramundi fillet is cooked with admirable restraint. The flesh remains delicate and moist, complemented by a coconut and clams sauce that brings sweetness and salinity into careful harmony. Nothing shouts, nothing overwhelms, and the fish is allowed to remain the star.
The gnocchi Genovese is a lesson in patience. The Wagyu is slow cooked with intent, preserving the fine, nuanced flavours of the meat rather than burying them under weight or excess. The onions melt into the sauce, the gnocchi absorb every element, and the dish delivers richness without heaviness, comfort without complacency.
The signature ravioli leans confidently into indulgence. The Wagyu filling is deep and expressive, finished with rosemary and Parmigiano butter that perfumes the dish rather than dominating it. Black pepper cuts through with precision, keeping each bite lively and complete.
The sides reinforce the care taken throughout. Broccolini is vibrant and pleasantly bitter, lifted by garlic and almonds, while the potato purée is luxuriously smooth, enriched with butter and smoked beef tallow, generous without apology.
Da Guido La Pasta offers food that respects tradition while trusting technique. It is cooking that rewards attention, encourages return visits, and reminds you why Italian cuisine, when treated with seriousness and restraint, remains endlessly compelling.

I really recommend this restaurant! We choose the 7 course menu and booked the table before. The waiter and the whole staff were really friendly and helpful. They explained us the courses which was great. The food was delicious and definitely a 10/10.

Can I give 10 stars please!!!
Travelling for work, my American colleague and I had heard Carlton was home to a great strip of restaurants, so we started looking for a standout Italian spot. Da Guido La Pasta kept coming up in reviews, and now we know why.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and seated on the terrace balcony, which gave the evening a relaxed, authentic feel. The service was exceptional, professional yet personal, with a team of genuine Italian staff who clearly care about the experience they’re offering. One of the partners took the time to share the story behind the restaurant and the little details that make it special. His pride and passion really came through.
We shared everything we ordered; the Fagottini, spaghetti, and a rocket and pear salad, followed by a tiramisu for dessert. Each dish was outstanding, full of depth and flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and authenticity.
The décor also deserves a mention. It’s a tasteful mix of traditional Italian charm with just the right amount of modern touch. Fresh and inviting, without losing its roots.
This wasn’t just a great meal, it was a full experience. Da Guido La Pasta is a true gem in Carlton, and we’ll both be recommending it to anyone heading to Melbourne.
P.s. try a margarita…or 2!!!

This place is amazing! The staff are so kind and genuinely caring.
My risotto was a little salty for me, but when I told them, they immediately made a fresh one.
Their kindness and professionalism really impressed me. Thank you so much for the wonderful service! And I’ll definitely visit again!
