Best Italian Restaurants in Bentleigh

We had an early table at 5:45 upstairs. It’s a great room and we were sitting in the area between the kitchen and the bar which was quite narrow, but the staff were very attentive and watching always for anyone moving in that narrow section the restaurant had an amazing turnover of people. Which I would think was a testament to the good service and the good food lots of families having, a quick meal plus others who were grazing and enjoying the atmosphere. The fit out is really really wonderful. Everything was tiptop from the time we walked into the restaurant to the time we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was exemplary. we had oysters, fish and steak. The steak could’ve melted in my mouth like it was covered in butter, the oysters were incredible. The cheese platter was incredible. You know I have to say for a local restaurant. It’s a nine out of 10. We will be back at least 100 times thanks for looking after us Grazie.

We were a large group that shared pizza's and sides. Teo's makes it easy and you forget that there are other people even dining around you.

Not knowing this area or any particular restaurant, we google searched to see what types of cuisine were available. We plumped for Italian at Vivace and we were not disappointed. From the moment we opened their door through until we said goodbye to our waiter we were treated as valued customers. The "specials" were explained to us and sounded awesome. The menu had plenty of choice. The wine list offered a good range of by the glass options. The meals we ordered were beautiful in flavour, size and presentation. We could not fault the entire experience. Sadler, we don't live near Brighton so can't make Vivace a regular night out but we would definitely recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Dining at Cucina & Co was an absolute delight from start to finish! This restaurant truly excels in delivering an authentic Italian culinary experience. The food is simply outstanding. Each dish is crafted with high quality ingredients, showcasing the rich and genuine flavours of Italy.

Absolutely beautiful food staff were amazing drinks on point Couldn’t fault them
