Reviews
All their pasta and sourdough are freshly made on the premises by Jerry’s hands. We enjoyed the 5-course dégustation menu. Every mouthful of food was an experience of bold flavours with subtle complexity. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting.
I’d call this restaurant one of the crowing jewels in Melbourne. It has set the bar for restaurants serving Italian cuisine higher. It is one of the restaurants I will definitely return for another dining experience whenever I visit Melbourne.
Swordfish was decent, but not as memorable.
All the entrees were lovely, fresh, well-seasoned, and plated with care.
Overall a really enjoyable meal. Would definitely return for the gnocchi and pasta.
I made a reservation for our anniversary, and even though we arrived a few minutes earlier than planned, we were greeted warmly and our table was already prepared. To start, we ordered the arancini and tomino as antipasti, both of which were delightful. The portions were just right, and the flavors and textures were truly enjoyable.
However, I must highlight the “cappellacci neri di mare,” which was an absolutely amazing dish. The pasta, filled with delicious crab, was complemented by an incredibly flavorful base that was perfectly balanced with seafood. The prawns, with their subtle smoky flavor and grilled texture, added a wonderful depth to the dish, making every bite even more enjoyable. This pasta is both inventive and creative, it’s not your typical frutti di mare pasta, it’s even better.
The waitstaff was attentive and offered excellent wine recommendations, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. To top off the experience, they surprised us with a “passito” to celebrate our anniversary, making our romantic dinner just perfect.
Thank you so much, Foglia di Fico. We look forward to returning soon.
Since I’m from Taiwan and don’t love heavy flavours, the chef made a lighter version for me while keeping the original taste.
Really delicious — definitely worth trying when you visit Melbourne.
What a breath of fresh air this place is , tables where a sensible size giving plenty of space, ambience was pleasant, no competing to have a conversation with other diners, excellent service and extremely knowledgeable staff in both the wines and the menu.
Very accommodating on dietary requirements.
The food was delicious, very well presented, the seafood pasta and lamb dish were a standout.
Only down would be the Tiramisu, I personally enjoyed it as it was light and not as heavy as most but those dining with me felt it didn’t hit the mark as a Tiramisu .
Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back to further explore their menu.
