    Tried the Risotto Nero, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a nice dish! Probably not for everyone's visual pleasure (totally black!) but it's nice if you're after a very tasty dish!

    Tiamo is, to my taste buds, the best and most consistent Italian food in Lygon st. Let me settle an argument for you: the pasta and pizza here are superior to Brunetti. Schiaffatelli is a personal fav

    Seafood marinara pasta is very good with huge portions. Tiamo antipasto is also yum

    The Affogato is one of the best in Melbourne. Simple and authentic: a single shot espresso and a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream. Great!

    The gnocchi quattro formaggi is lovely, I you can convince the waiters the that kitchen *can* make it. Tortellini carbonara also yum.

    Nice outside seats with heating on a cold day and a coffee makes this place a good meeting place.

    Had the marinara and some garlic bread. Molto bene. Good portion size and value. This place is popular and can get quite busy but service is pretty fast.

    The lasagne is my favourite in Melbourne. The red house wine is also very enjoyable on a cold evening.

    Wifi is pretty terrible; super slow and a pain to access. Not sure why 4sq recommends this place as a coffee spot with wifi :-/
