About the restaurant
This iconic Italian restaurant is a long-running success story on South Yarra's busy Chapel Street. The eatery has been around since 1988 and Melbournites depend on its presence when they're craving Nonna's kitchen. The warm, welcoming atmosphere, the thick accents and the genuine flavours are perfectly blended, casting a spell that transports you straight to Italy.
The interior is happily cramped, with big posters, awards and mementos plastered on the walls, Caffe e Cucina is always a perfect spot to share a bottle of wine and a heartwarming bowl of pasta with loved ones. You can choose the busy downstairs area or the quieter area upstairs, depending on the occasion. Enjoy a drink at the bar or an aperitivo ‘alfresco’ and for those who really want to impress their ‘special one’ nothing can compare to the ‘Romeo e Giulietta’ table – private dinner for two on the little balcony upstairs.
