After the disappointment of our lunch being cancelled a few weeks back, we finally found time to come in for the express lunch - & it was very much worth it. We were both so impressed with the quality of the food for the price. Really delicious! And just to add to our enjoyment our wait person Maisie was absolutely delightful - attentive, knowledgeable & a pleasure to deal with. Also a shout out to Kieran who had followed up with me to ensure we rebooked. Thank you to the chef & staff - we’ll be back!

We dined at Il Gambero on a recent trip to Melbourne. We had a large table of 18 people. We were easily accommodated, and the room we were put in was perfect for our excited, loud group and also the kids. Service, food and value for money was exceptional. I highly recommend

    What a delicious find! Found it 2 weeks ago and loced it so much booked a table the following sunday. Ordered share plate for 1 between my husband and I and my daughters also shared 1 plate between them. Generous servings and a plate cooked to perfection! We could not have eaten a plate each thats for sure. Will definitely be a go to everything our church meets across the road at micdrop.
