Just had a lovely lunch with a close friend who had not been here. She and I both had mushroom risotto with a side salad of ruccolo and pear. Just beautiful. We resisted the sweets but I had a florentine with my coffee and both were great. Ambiance here is always welcoming and the two ladies servin...

Excellent experience. Friendly well informed staff. Eight for dinner. A wide selection of dishes was chosen and everyone was pleased with their choice. Wine list very reasonably priced across a wide range of styles. Wouldn't dream of criticising anything about the evening. First class!

Overpriced and poor service. The food is very good but too expensive for what you get (eg. $16 for a small portion of herb bread). While the staff are friendly they were stressed with either 3 asking me the same question or none in sight when I was ready to order. It was crowded and noisy and we wer...

Place was poorly lit
Waitress had a very heavy Asian accent and trying to explain Italian food was not good . $20 for a herb pizza is really steep . Meals were small and expensive . Desserts were nice but very expensive . Service was good . Sat opposite the street so every oncoming car shone their ...

They refuse to make any variations to the menu. Even the steaks must be cooked as Medium Rare. This to me this implies that the meals are at least partially pre-cooked which is not acceptable for a restaurant this high-end.
The meal I had was ok. We had the function room and the appetisers were goo...

Went there to have my lunch from their tapas menu today.
I ordered smoky sweet potato hummus, and spiced chicken bites.
I received sweet potato wedges instead of hummus, and the lady who claimed she is the owner said there is no hummus today, and if I am happy to take the wedges, and I said that...

I went out for dinner here two nights ago with my family and really enjoyed the food. However I unfortunately got food posioning from the salmon and when I called up the restaurant to speak to the manager to let them know, I was promptly told that I did not have food poisoning and that it was probab...

Went for dinner during the week, we didn't book so we were seated in the bistro area which has an elegant moody vibe, with crisp white table cloths and low romantic night I got. We enjoyed a share platter with wine and then went straight to dessert! Both were great, would visit again.

Went yesterday for lunch. Had "four tastes of the ocean" for an entree and the "duck trilogy" for a main course. The four tastes were fresh, raw items with well matched sauces and accompaniments. Especially liked the salmon and tuna. The duck was delightful, with a nice contrast of textures and flav...

Va Tutto thank you for such a lovely Sunday lunch. I booked last minute and they could fit 20 of us in no problem at all. The service was fantastic and the food all came out the same time and was wonderful. Would not hesitate to go back.

I had dinner here for Valentines day and the food was Amazing, and the staff very friendly. I've dined in some of the best restaurants in Australia, and this is definitely right up there. I think I've found my next function venue.

Super expensive for a pasta sauce that was so watery it looked like it was made with tomato soup. My friend and I got two different sauces (vegetarian sauce and a beeg ragu) and they looked exactly the same. Plus the smell of the toilet air freshener dominated the resteraunt. Pasta was cooked well t...

I recently held my daughter's Twenty First celebration at Va Tutto.

The manager of the restaurant, contrary to some of the reviews on here, was lovely, warm and perfectly accommodating. She endeavoured to make our night as wonderful as we hoped it would as she too wanted us to have a Fantastic ev...

AMAZING! VaTutto delivers a 5 star experience in all aspects of fine dining. I have been here many times for lunch and dinner and most recently had a family function hosted. The function menu is off-the-charts! The wait staff are without fault. A truly exceptional experience.

Meals were poor and vegan options were thin on the ground. I got the feeling that the staff looked down their nose at me for being vegan. There was no reason for such a meat heavy menu, it just came across as gross.
The desserts were impressive though, salvaged the meal and they did have vegan ge...

This is the best restaurant in Ivanhoe. I have dined here for years and can only praise the food and service. The food is sensational as is the wine list in both the bistro and fine dining. The service is first class and Myrto the hostess is very welcoming. I highly recommend dining at Vatutto for a...

Servers rushing for choices of drinks and food, felt like we were unwelcome and asking for ice to go in water felt like we were asking for too much. Menu is too inconsistent and the restaurant isn't sure if it's Italian or Asian. Unable to make any changes to the menu even if allergic.

Had lunch there today and whilst the food was ok it was quite expensive. The kicker was when it came time for desert. The waitress who was serving us the same person as in the picture outlined the special dessert.

Unfortunately I was on the other side of the table and when I politely asked if ...

We had a work function / dinner here (around 20 of us) and the wait staff / chef made us all felt so welcomed even though we were a bit messy and too happy! The dishes were fantastic and the desserts were to die for! Very attentive and friendly staff in a suburban restaurant with good food? Only her...

The design of the place is good, food are very heavy, so you won't find anything light in the menu. Some of the staff freely cross the line of common sense and asking a lot of private and inappropriate questions. Most of people coming to restaurant to share nice moment with family or friends but not...

Most of the food was amazing... what wasn t was the chicken ribs, stuffed zucchini flowers and the figs. Wine was beautiful. Service was ok to average and very suburban!!! But still the best for a suburb in Melbourne. Worthy of the occasional visit

Come for the food. Walk out without the food because of the poor service. It tries to be upmarket but the wait staff are holding it back. The blonde manager greeted us immediately and gave us a table. The waitress gave us a drinks menu and asked what do we want to drink. Warning sign. We said, as al...
