“ An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The authenticity of the cuisine was matched only by the warm, welcoming ambiance and the impeccable attentiveness of the staff. Every detail reflected a deep respect for Italian culinary tradition. The linguine and ragu were definitely a brilliant choice and highly recommend. A well-deserved 5/5 ”
“ Date night perfection at Quando Quando Cucina & Bar on Little Collins St! From the Polalo di Rosa cocktail to the silky mezze maniche carbonara and melt-in-your-mouth arancino al ragù, every dish was pure Italian soul. The parmigiana di melanzane and special ravioli were standouts, and of course we couldn't leave without their heavenly tiramisu. Romantic vibes, fantastic service, and a true slice of Italy right in the heart of Melbourne. ”
