My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Cecconi’s Flinders Lane. The restaurant came highly recommended by family members and our daughter gave us a very generous voucher to use towards our dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful with the menu, without being intrusive. The food was delicious and there was an extensive selection of beer, wine and cocktail options.
