Nestled amongst riverside treetops on Southgate’s mid level, La Camera boasts two balconies with stunning views over The Yarra River and iconic Flinders Street Station. The interior is adorned with vintage black-and-white photographs depicting the history of the family that has owned and operated the restaurant since it opened in 2000. La Camera Southgate offers an array of authentic Italian dishes including unique Roman-style pizzas, authentic Pappardelle Ox Cheek from Trastevere-Rome and by far the most delectable Tiramisu in town. The emphasis is on quality ingredients, and fresh seasonal produce.

We made a booking for 8pm and although the kitchen was close to closing they were happy to accommodate our group of 6 with personal and friendly service. Food was tasty and there was a good wine list. Would happily return.

Have been going to La Camera for many years before/after a performance at the Art Centre precinct and they are 'always' reliable for great food/drinks and excellent service. Their meal sizes are substantial (not like many other restaurants in the precinct who's main course portions are absolute minimal ) and the menu has considerable options. We appreciate that they accommodate our table preferences either inside or outside to enjoy the lovely ambience looking over the city and river. Best restaurant in the Arts Centre Precinct for sure 🙂 We will be back !! Cheers. Brent and Evan.
