About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
Caffé Greco, Melbourne’s iconic dining institution and meeting place, is reopening after three decades in Oakleigh. Its origins trace back to the inspiring story of Nick Madalena, a Greek man who journeyed to Rome in 1760, founding the original Caffè Greco, which has since become a revered national institution in Italy, celebrated for over 260 years. This tale of migration and the pursuit of a better life is what motivated Nick Zampelis to establish a Melbourne branch of Caffé Greco, continuing a legacy of cultural exchange and community that spans centuries.

As Melbourne’s own Caffé Greco reopens, it draws from this rich heritage of bringing together diverse minds, continuing the tradition of being a cultural meeting point where patrons can not only enjoy fine coffee but also engage in the kind of conversation and creativity that defined its Roman predecessor.

    We were 15 of us, the whole group is not happy. 2 days before the reservation I received a text from the restaurant stating that we need to have a set menu which is ridiculous. According to them we all must have the same menu. When it comes to pay the bill, the cashier girl showed us attitudes because we spilt the bill. Never go there again.

    The initial high expectations did not match the experience on a cold windy night the front doors remained opened which didn’t help with the ambience. The drinks and starters arrived quickly and then ! The steaks arrived cold and under cooked for a thick t-bone which was absolutely tasteless, the waitress came over and asked how was everything so I told her. The response from the manager was he agreed with my feedback couldn’t offer anything just a supplier issue. I hope this review helps management understand customers are happy to pay a little bit extra for quality and loyalty.

    Cafe Greco delivers an outstanding dining experience! The atmosphere and interior design are beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting space. I had the T-bone steak, which was cooked to absolute perfection—flavorful, tender, and exactly how I wanted it. Dessert was just as impressive, with an éclair that was simply amazing. The service was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, making me feel like a valued customer. It’s refreshing to find a business that truly prioritizes customer experience. Highly recommend!

    My friend and I recently visited Cafe Greco for her birthday. It was a quiet day - Tuesday afternoon. We enjoyed a "starter" selection of three courses. Plus a champagne and white wine. The decor is lovely, the waiters are particularly nice in their white shirts and black bow ties. We loved that !. Hugo was our waiter and he was very professional and courteous. The owner/manager on the day was equally courteous. This cafe is fully licenced, ambiance is excellent and I'd recommend visiting. The bathrooms are very chic, must check them out.
