    Excellent location. A window table was not originally available. During our cocktails and before our meal was served, a table by the window became available. Daniela, our waitress, quickly set it up for us. Very good and attentive service.

    We had a lovely evening at Officina Gastronomica Italian. We decided to get a lot of various dishes to share and asked our waiter to suggest a couple of different wines to accompany our meals. Everything was delicious & service was fantastic. Such an enjoyable evening.

    Booked for a late sitting last minute and still chose the chef selection for dinner. Didn’t feel rushed or at all like an inconvenience for them to produce 6-7 dishes late in the evening. We had been a few times in the past but tonight we were very pleased with. They hit all the right notes … food, service, value and ambience. It’s on my favourite list at the moment.

    Conveniently placed near the Arts Centre, Southbank and Yarra, Teatro Gastronomia was a great option for dining before a show. The food was delicious and service was good. My pasta was amazing and the tiramisu was perfect.
