Cecconi's Flinders Lane

Absolutely fantastic experience! Atmosphere, fine food, beautiful wine and impeccable service. The outdoor area is perfect to chill out with drinks before or after dinner. Too bad we live in Sydney otherwise we will be there every week! This restaurant made our trip to Melbourne memorable.

Wait staff very good; accommodated spouse’s off-menu request. Nice atmosphere- met some very nice people at the next table.

Better instruction on the website when wanting to book for the express lunch. Booked online and were seated in the restaurant which did not offer the special - were then moved to the bar area. Waiter was rude when taking our orders, not warm or friendly, didn't look at us or make eye contact. Won't be in a rush to go back anytime soon.

Superb food and service for our table of 6, a great night

Absolute joy to eat here. Beautiful service and delicious food! It never disappoints and the cocktails are a must.

Excellent as usual, always high quality food and service

This is at least the 4th time we've eaten here and not been disappointed on each visit.

Amazing linguini

Amazing food. Excellent service. Definitely will come back but for a special occasion.
Can’t fault our dinner in anyway.

Thank you

Great service and always amazing food, Best Italian Restaurant for mine.

I think we just had a bad night as I’ve always had good service. On this occasion we had to ask for service at our table time and time and time again, we felt like we had been forgotten or that they were short staffed that night. I had to go up to the desk twice to get service on basic things such as topping up water, taking our order, or requesting bread with the meal. It was not clear who was looking after our table. It was embarrassing as we were entertaining guests but the meal was delicious.

We had a fantastic night, food and service were first class, can’t wait to return.

Visited numerous times now. Outstanding experience from arrival. Would highly reccomend.

Beautiful food with very friendly and speedy service

Although the food was ok...not outstanding, the service was a bit funny...Polite but with an air of grandiose and like we should be grateful that we were been served?
Average experience overall ...not going back in a hurry

Food was faultless. Lovely staff. Looking forward to next time.

My experience was superb in every way. From the greeting at the door, to our wait staff and the delicious and lovingly prepared food. This has to have been one of the best dining experiences I’ve had anywhere in the world.

Outstanding food, service, warmth and ambiance, as always!

Food was out of this world and service to match. Can’t fault.

Absolutely out of this world good. Could not have asked for a better meal/experience. Every last bit of it was just gorgeous, we were a little annoyed at ourselves for taking so long as we had the earlier sitting and had to be out by 8.15 however the gigantic entree we got meant that we took a little longer then expected but will be back to try some of the amazing desserts I saw being brought out. Our waiter was just lovely he was very attentive all through the meal, Highly recommend Cecconis to everyone

Walk in first for my reservation at the counter yet was not greeted or attended too. Instead shocked that the people who walked in after me was attended too while I stand waiting at the counter. Even the people who walked behind me looked uncomfortable speaking to the waiter because they saw me walking in first and the waiter didnt acknowledged my presence especially the fact that they didnt even have a reservation booked! They were walk in's.
There didnt seem to be a reservation host and it looked very disorganized. After finding a sit for those who had walked in after me in waited for 5 mins before a lady was available to check my booking.

After being seated, I waited a good 25mins before anyone came to take my order for even a class of wine. There was many waiters that night but they seem to be rushing around different tables instead of being allocated specific tables to host. The service was not good, no one checked up on you. After hailing a waiter to take my order for a class of wine, another waiter saw me sitting alone (was waiting for a friend who was running late) and asked if I've ordered a drink yet to which I replied yes but it took so long for anyone to notice.

Throughout dinner, the food is good- but the service was not up to scratch. The amount of times we were ignored even for getting the bill and getting our jackets was so bad. I subpar service at a fast food restaurant but for a fine dining establishment with these prices, I expect service to be better.

Service excellent
Everything excellent
Would certainly recommend this restaurant to everyone I know

Excellent first experience dining here, will definitely be back. Service was very attentive but not pushy, Roberto was spectacular and made sure we were very well looked after.

The staff made us feel very special and we enjoyed our experience there

Beautiful Food, atmosphere and great service. Definitely recommend a visit

Great Restaurant, unique wish there a Cicconi’s In Sydney

Great business venue - a good dining experience in a relaxed but upmarket environment

Always such a special place to eat, staff are amazing, attentive but not intrusive, restaurant is beautiful to look at, great wine list and such wonderful food.
Always leave happy and satisfied. Thanks again Cecconi's

Great restaurant, great food, great service.
Authentic Italian food. Fabulous wine list.

The truffle pasta was very overpriced. Main size was$80 entree size was $60. Also, I stated when I made booking it was our wedding anniversary. From previous experience from other restaurants we have always received a little something, like ‘happy wedding anniversary’ written our dessert. Cecconi’s lacked the little touches.

Cecconi’s is part of a category of restaurants which is both high quality and comfortable atmosphere.

Service and food all good. It was very busy but by 9pm the restaurant started to empty slowly. The atmosphere was vibrant , which matched the food which was well cooked and presented. We did not feel rushed at any point.

It has been several years since our last visit and we were't disappointed. We mistakenly arrived half an hour early and offered to wait at the bar but, were assured all was fine and were shown straight to our table. Food fantastic and service helpful and attentive. Will definitely visit again and recommend!

When a restaurant lasts as long as this one has and is obviously as popular as ever, they mus be doing something right. The ambience, the food and the service are all first class. Great place for a special occasion.

Myself and colleagues were very impressed on all fronts. Service was impeccable as was the attention to detail. As for the food, each dish was superb with some reminding us the way our mothers cooked for us as child only with a superb finesse exclusive to the chefs in the your kitchen. Thank you for making our visit to Melbourne extraordinary special on this fine dining evening that pleased all 4 palates

Fantastic food & wounderful service, great atmosphere

An outstanding restaurant; elegantly served, wait staff well trained and knowledgeable and quality of the food is outstanding! We loved the evening!

Fantastic food drinks and service 😊
I would recommend it to friends as a great night out

We have eaten here twice while visiting Melbourne. On both occasions we’ve had delicious food served by exceptionally professional and helpful wait staff. Highly recommend.
