Cugini's

The atmosphere, the food, the service was excellent! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Wonderful experience overall, I’m coming here again!

We had never been here before but had a really nice dinner! Service and food was absolutely amazing, we will definitely be returning. Drinks were also amazing and well priced

food was good and homely, took a bit long to come to the table. One of our dishes was ready on the servery but was not delivered promptly and therefore a bit cold on presentation.

Would have been awesome but booked for 9.30, took 20min to get food menu. Was told we could order mains after entrees, but when we went to order, was told the kitchen had closed. Maybe don't take 9.30 bookings if you don't plan on providing food. Went there for dinner and only got 2x Cocktails and 2x entrees. Left sober and hungry.

Good food, very reasonable prices, excellent and friendly service but a little noisy although it adds to the ambiance. Will return.

Pizzas 1st class. Tiramisu average but a large serve, enough to share. Service excellent. Noisy but cosy atmosphere with the open fireplace. Will go back.

Beautiful food and great service. However our entrees and mains were not spaced out, making us feel rushed. Waiters recognised the issue and offered an apology with a round of free drinks. Overall really nice and highly recommended.

Really nice cosy vibe with fireplaces, perfect for a chill winters evening. Lovely friendly staff and excellent wood oven pizzas. The salty caramel sfingi also amazing. Not generally a fan of caramel as expecting to be sickly sweet but the saltiness was just the perfect balance and what a way to finish off a perfect evening.

Food was reasonable but restaurant was very full and noisy…. Lots of young people enjoying a night out so I imagine it’s better for a younger crowd

A breath of fresh air! This is a bright restaurant where the food excels and the experience is enhanced by the enthusiasm and casual professionalism of the staff.

Funky place close to town. Very friendly staff. Nice open fires. Pasta and pizza were yummy. Wine was excellent. The hot chocs were a little average but overall, really nice place.

The restaurant was cold and fires were lit just after I arrived and heating was turned on after my request. The complimentary nibbles was a nice touch.

Warming and friendly Nonna style Italian food - the hosts are so friendly and helpful and we had a wonderful night next to the wood fire place eating way too much yummy food. Will definitely be back

Food was amazing and the service was great. Authentic restaurant and will definitely be back within the week!! Highly recommend. One of the best woodfired pizzas and home made Italian pasta.

The beef involtinis with sides were slightly underwhelming, the firewood pizza on the other hand was great.

Had a great experience

Service and atmosphere were great however food was average.

This place feels like home. Service exceptional. Food absolutely delicious and authentic Italian.,Highly recommended- don’t overlook this place if you LOVE Italian. Can’t wait to go back. Lots of open fireplaces too ... so nice to relax by the fire sipping Chianti.

A lovely neighbourhood gem. Came all the way from Cranbourne and so glad we did. Amazing (and insanely fresh) food, impeccable and friendly service - this is exactly what a cold Melbourne night needs for a fix. 100% recommended!

I never normally write reviews, even if I get good service. However these guys were just fantastic. Booked a table through The Fork and on the booking it asked where we would like to sit. We said inside however when we arrived the inside was actually booked out so we had to sit outside, despite them doing their best to fit us in inside. This was slightly annoying since we specifically booked an inside table but they said it could have been an issue with The Fork so happy to give them the benefit of the doubt on this. Anyway, from there they could not have been nicer. Someone came to set up the outdoor heater and our waiter was really nice. Made a request to add something to my order and the chef came out himself to double check what i'd asked for because they wanted to make sure they got it right, which I appreciated. Throughout the dining experience everything was great including the food. Having an Italian background I have quite high standards when it comes to pizza and they were all met with my delicious Margherita, the chef who made that really knows what he is doing! A lot of places won't use San Marzano tomatoes (to save money on ingredients) which for me are essential so big thumbs up! The dough was incredibly soft and the fior di latte was also fantastic. My partner had the Pappardelle which she very much enjoyed as well. If that wasn't enough they honoured the 30% discount voucher we had for the food, didn't charge for adding Buffalo mozzarella to the pizza and also took two soft drinks off our bill! We couldn't believe how cheap the final bill was, so much so we felt guilty because the food was so good. We will definitely be back and look forward to spending our money somewhere that genuinely cares about good service. The pizza is basically the same standard as Gradi or DOC however this place has a more local down to earth feel whereas you often feel like just a number at those venues. Worth adding as well both the interior and exterior of the restaurant are nice too. Outside they have romantic lighting. Thank you again guys look forward to seeing you soon!
