Foglia Di Fico

Definitely my number one favourite Italian restaurants in Melbourne. Every time I come back their food and service do not disappoint me ever. I especially love the duck gnocchi w white truffle which I order every single time I visit. Their pasta spaghetti dishes are always full of flavour (I must say some are more average than other dishes offered here tho-the red fettuccine looking dish in second pic) which I don’t often get in other Italian restaurants. They always offer more complementary bread to finish off the pasta sauce too which I always take (it’s that good!!). If you’re yet to visit this place YOU MUST TRY!

An amazing restaurant. Full marks across the board. Very kind and professional staff. Booked for a birthday with a few requests and it was magnificently executed. Cuisine was top-notch with a perfectly executed course for both myself and my partner. I had a classic course while my partner had a vegetarian one and we both savoured the dishes to the last bites (see attached pictures). The wine also went well with the course, adding a silver lining to this excellent gourmet experience. Ambience was also very cosy with a gentle jazz accompanying the warm interior. Prices are very reasonable for the experience offered. It was overall a splendid experience which will lead me to come again for sure.

We had a Beautiful dinner at the restaurant. The service was flawless by a Korean lady and our entree was perfect and well balanced. We actually enjoyed it more than the mains. Our seafood filled squid ink pasta was really tasty and the gnocchi was fresh. A few down sides with plating, especially for squid ink pasta. It was flat and not appealing at all… Also The steak we ordered was juicy, but tasted plain and lacked some flavours. However, Despite a few disappointments, Our experience at the restaurant is very positive. We are impressed with exceptional ingredients & fresh pastas were amazing. It is worth a visit. We will come back to try more in the future.

Outstanding authentic Italian cuisine. Master combination of flavors, textures and visuals that all combine to deliver a dining experience that exceeds expectations. The chef guided 5 or 9 course dinner is a wise move to sample more of what’s on offer. Knowledgeable staff highlighted and explained each course expertly. One of Melbourne‘s few restaurants where every item on the menu looks delicious and tempts a return visit. Highly recommended!

Was here for my birthday dinner and had the set 5 course menu $400+ for 2 people (including added truffle, wine pairing and drinks) Great for dates or solo dining. Probably not a place for large groups. The decor of the restaurant was beautiful and cozy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Staff were knowledgeable about the food and wine. The food was absolutely delicious. Edit: After leaving my inital review, I received a call from the restaurant manager. He had cleared up some misunderstandings surrounding the night (1. Being around the online booking platform 2. Being my request for truffle to be added to a dish - i thought i had somehow offended the chef but turns out it was quite the opposite. I must say that the truffle complimented the already tasty dish beautifully - I recommend you give it a try too). I have to say that this restaurant is like no other. They clearly have love and care for the food they cook and serve and just as much love and care for its customers. I now hope to come back again someday - keep up the good work 👍

Love love love this little gem in the city! The steak and octopus was definitely one of the best I’ve tasted in Melbourne. Ever since I moved to Melbourne, I’ve been on the hunt for good steak. I was so disappointed at the pricey and below average steak I’ve had over the past 2 years. From squires loft, Meat & Wine Co, Kisumé… anywhere people say there’s good steak. But last night, the service, wait times, interior design, the menu, and most importantly- the food! It. blew. my. mind. And may I add that cocktail serving was generous too! Overall- the best dinning experience I’ve ever had since 2019. I have already recommended family & friends. Will definitely be back :)

I almost want to write a dismissive review so that this gem of a restaurant stays accessible but how could I? They deserve accolades for their understated perfection. When I read that this restaurant was so highly rated I was cautious. Would it be pretentious? Outrageously expensive? It was neither. I ate the stuffed pasta which was undoubtedly my favourite ever pasta meal. Others in our group had gnocchi options which were also perfection. Dessert was similarly subtle and exquisite. The decor is quaint and cozy. Service again was attentive yet charming. Just keep this quiet, please. I want to be able to return and return.
