Michelle Ting: Pasta and risotto was awesome :) The bug risotto was flavourful and I loved my prawn pasta, mix in the prawn roe (in the head) to get a sweeter prawny taste in ur pasta :)
Paul Farrell: Kid friendly. Spaghetti Bolognese available off the menu, bug our six year old loves the scallop with black rice, duck gnocchi, truffle risotto and the broccolini. Fantastico!
Kyrie Anne: An amazing experience in every way!! Incredible freshly sliced salami and possibly the best pasta around. Definitely recommend this place.

Kat Loughrey: Fabulous food, generous serves, reasonably priced (which can be hard to find in Melbourne!). Love the homemade pasta! The arancini are yum (+ chilli oil). The panna cotta with honeycomb is awesome! :)
Tim McDonald: If the chicken and garlic tortelloni is on the menu, dive in - it's excellent. Add parmesan, pepper and chilli and it's even better!

Ian Anderson: Great pasta, salads and coffee
Ellen Waters: Wow. The pappardelle with fungi and truffles was excellent.
Daniel Kee: That squid ink pasta. Fresh, juicy, lemony and delicious from the first forkful to the very last sauce-soaked crumb of bread.
Tim Lucas: Pretty damn good daily sandwich specials, with a side of pretzels and mac & cheese.
delleacious: Double smoked pork belly with coriander slaw on a brioche, yum! Reuben is popular but I like the pork belly way more. The mac & cheese were great, same as pumpkin chocolate brownie yum!
Brett Jones: All the sandwiches are exquisitely crafted. If you can manage it, be sure to add a side of Mac & Cheese.
Mim Rizzo: Love this place!! Try the meats and cheeses to start, followed by crab spaghettini and then any of the amazing desserts! Great service and best view in Melbourne!
Krisi Rumpff: We had a mothers day deal.. All brilliant.. Picture below is of zucchini and bocconccini.. My main course of spaghettini with crab and chili and lemon was amazing!
Sigrid de Castella: Book for the restaurant, or grab a table on the terrace for the bar menu - think burger, pizza, great meatballs and rocket and blood orange salad. The awesome Crab Spaghettini is in the restaurant.

Emma Dilemma: Most restaurants do a t-bone steak with chips and salad, or linguini marinara. Very few do them this well. Donovan's walks the fine line between high-end and comfort food with delectably good taste.
JingXun Hu: Good steaks and pasta, excellent seafood. Fresh oysters. Park your car in the parking lot across the road near the traffic lights
Ben Talbot: Great place to take interstate / international visitors. Great seafood, pasta, & steaks. Must go the Bombe Alaska! Great beachside terrace if the weather allows.
