Buono Restaurant & Bar
Parkdale, Melbourne
30-40YRSA hidden gem! Parkdale probably isn’t the first place that springs to mind when you think of high-end Italian food. But with their smart-casual restaurant and bar, Buono, co-owners Fabio Magliano, Cinzia Buono and head chef Daniele Ruffolo clearly have other ideas about the quiet seaside suburb. The trio has nailed the seaside brief by filling the space with marine hues. Think teal banquette seating, white painted brick walls, and aqua bar tiling laid to invoke the Mediterranean Sea.

The Albert Park Hotel
Albert Park, Melbourne
40-50YRSThe Albert Park Hotel has been an iconic original of Melbourne’s southside since 1883. A place for a pint on footy night, a dinner to celebrate the small wins, a leisurely Sunday afternoon with bottle of bubbles and bar snacks enjoyed outside in the thick of it. Our restaurant upstairs on the first floor, Happy Valley, brings modern Chinese flavour to the table. The signature Peking ducks hanging in the window are an ode to the centuries of tradition behind every bite. Enjoy fabulous Chinese food with friends.

Vaporetto Bar and Eatery
Hawthorn, Melbourne
50-60YRSThe vision for Vaporetto was inspired by many trips to Venice - a beautiful Italian part of the world and wanting to create something that embodies old school hospitality filled with warmth, generosity and charm. We were particularly drawn to Venice for the art, culture, romance, mystery, and the rich, fascinating history associated with controlling the spice trail for centuries. Venetian food is like Italian food without rules! And let’s face it, who doesn’t love Venice?

Figlia (“daughter” in Italian) has two sister restaurants, both of which are in the city centre: Tipo 00 (opened in 2015) and Osteria Ilaria (opened in 2017)."
