    Great service and very friendly and accommodating staff. Unfortunately the squid ink pasta and prawn dish was poorly seasoned (i.e. not at all) and bland. This was remedied after asking for salt and pepper, but it would have been nice for pepper to have been offered when the meal arrived. It also felt a bit odd to be pushed to choose a wine before we’d decided on food. The menu was more limited than anticipated, and the prices were pretty extreme for what was delivered. No pasta dish should cost over $40. That fact alone would prevent me from returning. The wine was enjoyable, and the tiramisu was excellent and such a large portion I couldn’t finish mine, although I tried!

    We were at Pinotta as part of MFWF. The 5 courses we had were outstanding! The duck ‘spring roll’ was up there with the best dishes I have ever eaten. Such a shame that the wine- pre paid, did not match the quality of the food. Service- again not matching food quality. We will visit again to experience Pinotta beyond MFWF.

    No wonder this place was absolutely chockers inside and out on a warm Fitzroy evening! Very welcoming vibe and great service, excellent wines to choose from and the meal was delicious. Always reliably enjoyable!
