Situated on the rooftop of the iconic King & Godfree building in the heart of Lygon Street’s Little Italy, Johnny’s Green Room is a Tuscan-inspired terrace with dazzling city skyline views and an enthusiastic appreciation for la dolce vita.

Conceived by award-winning designer Dion Hall, Johnny’s evokes the good times of an Italian summer with a semi-retractable roof enabling those summertime vibes to be enjoyed year-round. We have acclaimed chef Karen Martini on board as our Culinary Director, her relaxed menu of Italian-style sharing dishes beautifully complemented by Melbourne bar maestro Matt Bax’s delicious program of Italian-accented cocktails and wine and a rolling roster of the finest DJs in the land.

Named after the classic Carlton nightspot that in the 70s and 80s attracted the bohemian and the notorious like moths to a neon-lit flame, Johnny’s has been reimagined for a whole new generation of Carlton habitués.

I like how you can now book for an afternoon seat. The staff were friendly and helpful. Have always loved this venue/rooftop. The new seating and undercover area has made it more “Melbourne”. Definitely will be back yet again! Bravo

Best pizza I’ve had in several years. Great vibe. Great beer on tap. Ridiculous view - Dandenongs on one side, Melbourne Museum roof puncturing the skyline over there, and Eureka tower off over there. Amazing.

Restaurant looks very nice, unfortunately, the service was very poor. No instruction at the beginning that we had to go to the till to make our orders. Nobody checked our table to see if we were okay, I had to search for napkins and salt myself a few times. The food was bland, and average considering the prices. I only recommend this place to have some drinks and enjoy the view maybe.

What venue does not have tomato sauce for fries. Staff were disinterested, rude and had attitude. They did not want to help at all despite Saturday penalty rates. I booked a low table and was given a high table. We had to ask to be moved and squish into a small circle table for four people. Our drinks order was served incorrectly - but at least they gave us the incorrect drinks for free.
