came here for a weeknight dinner in East Melbourne, parking available at the front of the restaurant or around the corner, and opposite the train station. The ambiance and vibe was good, we sat near the window and had natural light shine in for a bit before darkness came. great venue for group dinners and hang outs. the pasta tastes authentic. I recommend the bolognese pasta, and gnocchi.
