Mietta's Review
The room is dominated by three, larger than life, Italian waiters. They bustle from family to family (and the odd couple) leaving phrases like 'ciao bella' hanging heavy in the air. It's not as corny as it sounds - there's a genuine warmth and welcome here. It's also inexpensive. The families of Elsternwick and surrounds love it. After all, this is a great neighbourhood restaurant providing an enjoyable, non-demanding meal that suits most occasions and groupings. Pizzas are well under $20 and there are a smattering of 'secondi' that aren't too much more. The short wine list is also reasonably priced.
Other published opinions
The Age Dani Valent, 4-6-2008 "Well, dunk me in napoli and twirl me: this is a first. I've never before been excited about shopping-mall food infiltrating neighbourhood strips, but I'm excited about this place, more or less transposed from Chadstone Shopping Centre. Pizze Vini Spuntini isn't a bland, liveried franchise elbowing in to make our world more homogenous"
