Gourmet Traveller 2012 Australian Restaurant Guide "Rita Macali has long set the benchmark for modern Italian dining in Melbourne, and it's easy to see why. With its sleek fit-out, slick service and a menu that spoils patrons for choice, it's no surprise her Supermaxi has won a loyal following"

Gourmet Traveller 2011 Australian Restaurant Guide "The return of Rita Macali to Melbourne's dining scene has caused much rejoicing among fans of her carefully cooked, deceptively simple Italian food. Supermaxi is her first big venture since Ladro and has a similar feel, in that artisan pizza is front and centre alongside a series of homestyle dishes such as roast of the day (perhaps slow-cooked lamb flavoured with white wine and herbs), or house-made pasta (ravioli stuffed with earthy pickled artichokes and dressed with a butter and sage sauce, say)"

Herald Sun Stephen Downes, 13-07-10 Score: Food 15/20, Staff 8/10, Drink 3/5, X Factor 4/5, Value 7/10, Total 37/50 "THE inner north's Supermaxi tables simple and sometimes exquisite Italian tucker. It's never, at any rate, less than good (if once or twice a touch too salty). Prices are fair. Brisk and knowledgeable service strikes the right relationship with diners, and a limited drinks list boasts several Italian drops. Plain and contemporary, the place itself avoids any of the decor affectations that afflict so many new brasseries. And it's all for the better"
