Mietta's Review
The tiny tables support large plates of pasta, and the bar, the elbows of the drinkers. Dark wood lined and clubby, this is an essential part of the city for a coffee, a bowl of pasta or a glass of wine - all in the company of like minded Melburnians. See also Florentino Grill Room and the Grossi Florentino.
