Italian

Top tags:

Based on High Street, just one block from Chapel, Tipico is a new modern-Italian bistro.
Tipico reflects the new Italy, the Italy that’s now in Milan, the cool new vibe.
Not the classic restaurant with Italian music playing and cloth on the tables. The flavours coming out of head chef Andrea Serrelli’s kitchen will be relatively classic, but with some modern finesse added to the plating.

What you can expect to see alongside some classic dishes like kingfish crudo, orange dressing and mint; battered sardines with polenta chips; or tagliatelle with spanner crab.

An Italian and Victorian centred wine list explores a variety of regions and wine makers alongside local craft beers and cocktails.

Delicious truffle menu with generous and perfect pairing of Italian Barolos. Great way to welcome in the truffle season! Very impressed with the Buxton Valley truffles despite being early in the season - very ripe and aromatic.

The music level was a touch too high, with the bass reverberating a bit too much. Octopus entree was very small for the $30 price tag. Slightly too chewy too. Pumpkin gnocchi was delicious, as were the Pinot Grigio and montepulciano wines. Nice ambiance and attentive staff. I’d come back.

We were seated immediately and the wine list provided promptly. We drank our pre dinner cocktails while perusing the menu. The most difficult part was choosing what gastronomic delights we would choose! My husband chose the charcoal octopus while I chose the calamari. Both were scrumptious! For main course we both had the gnocchi which were little cloudy puffs of delectability! We had the kipfer potatoes and salad of rocket , radish as sides. Our wait staff were wonderful! Informative and pleasant and completely engaged in their work but friendly and amiable. All in all 10/10 for Tipico!

The food a little bland and lacking flavour. The idea and the take on modern Italian was cool but not conquered. Service was also quite dry. Overall it wasn’t bad but for what you pay and what you get in terms of food and service combined was a little disappointing.

The restaurant itself is nice, however the food isn’t so great. We had the octopus as a starter which was ok. Then we had the gnocchi and tagliatelle for mains - both pastas were flavourless, the tagliatelle was undercooked and all stuck together and overall not what you would expect for a $35 pasta from an Italian restaurant. Wouldn’t recommended this place at all.

Absolutely beautiful specialty pasta, the culurgiones. Was clear that there was Sardinian influence. I was delighted with them. One of my favourite dishes made perfectly. Can't wait to come back and try the specials, I trust they will be timeless Nonna recipes

The food, as always, is great quality & taste. We did the "feed me" option, though feel that it is a smaller quantity than previously. Was missing one or two plates to be a filling meal, as the quantities were rather small. Having said that, the experience is always as gorgeous as ever & the taste is wonderful.

The food was fantastic, and had great recommendations from our waiter Gigi, who was so lovely and really added to the evening. Portion sizes are on the smaller side, so you need to order quite a few dishes. The noise level felt very loud despite not being too many other patrons. Overall had a fantastic meal, would definitely recommend.

After having worked for 10+ years in hospitality i understand that vegetarians and modifying dishes is seen as an inconvenience to many kitchens. A simple no would have been sufficient. As your kitchen is open i would have hoped that your chef team would be more considerate about their reactions and mindful of their staring. Our order was not appreciated which i can understand especially in these times but to then receive our mains first before our entrees and then for them to miss one altogether which we were billed for. There was no acknowledgment of the mains being received first or that we then received our entrees shortly after so everything was all together. We had to ask to order more drinks. I was extremely disappointed and embarrassed that i brought my partner and his sister in law to this restaurant after we had ordered take away and providor during lockdowns.
