Something Italian is one of the best Italian restaurants in Melbourne. The menu and food is excellent, very tasty and the servings are huge. Service was very quick and the staff are always friendly. Highly recommend for your next birthday, anniversary, celebration, date night or just a good night out. My date was very impressed!

Had a wonderful dinner with friends last night. Delicious food with warm & friendly service & great atmosphere. We had the calamari, rib eye steak, barramundi & amatriciana pasta followed by sticky date pudding & crepes with berries for dessert. Every dish was amazing. Our first visit, we’ll definitely be back!

Celebrated our anniversary last week with dinner here. My duck in pomegranate sauce was delicious. My husband had veal, not quite as good, but tasty. The waiter was attentive and helpful. Highly recommend chocolate souffle for dessert, Berry crepes with vanilla icecream also yummy. Try this restaurant for yourself, it's a winner.

We had takeaway a few times which was quite good but eating in is just weird... we have been a few times lately to eat in and each time we have entered into an eerily quiet restaurant with no music and just incredible silence, followed by a lacklustre greeting, which is fine but just odd. The food is so so, but much better than the desserts which are a no... the coffee was pretty good though. If you want atmosphere and just a sense of occasion, this is not the place.

Ordered through uber eats and recurved a cold pizza an hour later. I guess they forgot to send it out once it was cooked. Not a very good service.

I have been going here for years (since around 2010). The food has always been lovely and the staff have always been wonderful. They put extra effort into their service and their love of the restaurant has always been obvious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal (pizza, pasta or otherwise) and a smooth night out

Wanted a great Italian meal, got very ordinary food. The Pasta Carbonara was really just OK. At least it was hot and the pasta was cooked well. It was a bit dry and under seasoned - I could have cooked it the same if not better (and Im no chef). The Dessert - well.... we ordered the Chocolate Souffle... waited a good 40 minutes between courses - despite ordering dessert with mains.... I think we got the Chocolate Souffles sad cousin, the eggy no taste souffle. The service was very good, and I wanted the food to be good as well.... sigh!

My wife and I eat at Something Italian about once a fortnight and it is always excellent especially all the veal dishes and the steak! The salads and vegetables are always fresh. And it has a BYO option so we dont have to pay $50 for an average bottle of wine.

I love this restaurant and we go there often. My favourite is Veal Zingara. Amazing!! The staff are friendly and the food is always delicious and authentic. Not just bland pasta and pizza like some other restaurants.

I was a walk in on a Wed night at 6pm and asked if I could get a quick meal and the staff member (bald guy) said really? In a tone that indicated I was an inconvenience. At this stage there were only 2 tables of diners and he told me I could sit down the back if I were quick. I ordered the Veal Fungi and it was possibly the worst veal dish I had tasted. It was under seasoned and tasted watery. The whole dish had no flavour and didnt have any Italian traits whatsoever. Ill never go back. Over priced food from chefs that clearly cant cook Italian food.
