Visited Via Fratelli on the way back to the city from Inverloch and was looking for a good pasta feed. Via Fratelli came up on a Google search, so decided to give it a shot - and so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious: really tasty, flavoursome pasta in a thick, rich sauce, with a pleasing quantity of meat in the dish; a lot of places cheap out on the portion, or bulk it up with pasta, but I was so glad this restaurant was generous with the amount of meat in the dish. (Please keep this up! Customers do notice the difference and they appreciate it!) Service was really friendly and attentive, and it was obvious both the co-owner, Jonathan, and the head chef of the restaurant take a lot of pride in the quality of the food they serve, and are genuine happy to receive good feedback which, in this case, was totally well-deserved. I noticed they have a wood fire oven in there too, so will be keen to pop back again soon and try one of their pizzas. If you're anywhere near Malvern East, or passing by, and fancy a really tasty, hearty pasta or pizza meal, I can highly recommend giving Via Fratelli a shot - there's a good chance you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ok I'm calling it: Saturday night pizza here is the best I have had. 3 times now! Wow...I and some fellow diners have found that a good Friday or Saturday night pizza here is the best we have ever had. I don't say that lightly. Aside from pizza everything i have tried has been great! Lovely staff too.

Tried a few pastas ... and so far, all good ... main spaghetti marinara just needed a bit more of salt & pepper ... and a bigger serving, especially in cold winter, please ...

Excellent food. Shame wait staff are so young, they can't advise on wine but understand this through staff shortages due to pandemic affects. Would be nice for wait staff to learn a little etiquette. Trying to clear meals before they're finished and before everyone else at the table has wasn't great. Food was beautiful though, as was the ambience. As locals, we appreciate having great food in the area. Much more authentic than D'olivio which is a few doors down.

Pizza is okay but... First of all, it doesn't match what's said in the menu. Meat lovers pizza stated salami, sausages and chicken. And I thought to myself that's great, I don't like pork and I really feel like chicken. In fact I got pizza with no chicken whatsoever and full of ham on it. A bit disappointed as I don't eat ham. I have a question to the owner : why doesn't your menu match what you actually cook? And second of all, I called to make a pick up order, they said 20 min. When I arrived after just over 20min, they didn't even start cooking it. So I had to wait another 10-15 min until it is done. What was the point of ordering pick up and waiting for 20 min? Service leaves a lot to be desired.

Ordered home delivery - arrived on time, but cold. Very disappointed by lasagne and capricciosa pizza. Actually went & checked what we had asked for was what was in the box. Pizza overloaded with mushrooms, it was all mushrooms. 5 olives total, translucent thin ham, more mushrooms, NO discernible cheese. Lumpy, unevenly cooked, tasteless base. And soggy from having steamed itself in the box. Nothing fresh. Lasagne portion decent size. Thank you, but a waste of processed ingredients. The cloying tomato paste in which the pasta swam destroyed any chance of a tasty pasta dish. Overcooked, unbalanced with a smattering of something, probably cheese, thrown over one end, to hide the burnt pasta. Our treat meal was left half eaten and then thrown out. If that was my home made meal, I'd be forced to leave home. No, won't be going anywhere near Via Fratelli again.

One of the best pizzas in Melbourne. Thin base, tasty sauce, awesome ingredients. It was a pleasure, thank you.

Pizzas are Paper - thin, crispy crust with fresh ingredients, just cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth! The meat balls are yummy but the chilli and garlic calamari beats it all! Tender and soft, it is simply brilliant!

Ordered online 2 hours in advance to collect at a certain time. Saw pizzas sitting under heat lamp for 10 minutes before balance of order ready. Cold, chewy and pretty tasteless in my opinion. Ordinary experience, many better options around.

Fantastic pizza! Kitchen had a bit of a mix up which resulted in us having a bit of a long wait time (honest mistake). Owner was extremely apologetic and gracious, offered to not charge us for meal.

Delicious food and such lovely service! I arrived on the wrong day for a meet up and so was « stood up » by my friend. The staff were very kind and helped me to try and contact my friend as I didn’t have a local phone card so I couldn’t call her. I ended up getting takeaway instead and chose the chicken and mushroom gnocchi. It melted in my mouth and was still hot by the time I got home. I’d highly recommend!

I’m really disappointed with this restaurant. We booked our table for 7:15pm and we arrived on time. But until 8pm, we still haven’t got any dishes being served. There’s no any explanation or apology to us. Definitely won’t come again.

Food was great! Highly recommend their chicken&mushroom gnocchi! Arancini was so yummy too. Good service too 👌

It might look like your regular average pizza/pasta restaurant, but Via Fratelli is above that. The food is always really, really good and the service is pretty much always spot on. It's a very casual restaurant, and certainly not fine dining, but if you're wanting that good, comforting and homely meal, that's what you'll get here. While I usually have their gnocci (which is always soft and beautiful) and have tried a chicken pizza once (and thoroughly enjoyed it), the last time I went, I ordered their special which was a homemade roasted pumpkin, sage and ricotta ravioli, with a delicious sage butter and cream sauce. It was delectable and yum. The bottom line is that with everything they have on their menu and the great service and reasonable prices, if you're after a reliable good, casual Italian meal, then this is the place. Lot's of parking on the street and a lot of space inside for a meal for two or a big party of even up to 20 or so.

Ordered from Via Fratelli for the first time on Saturday night. Ordered a Hawaiian with extra salami and chilli. Pizza was sensational light and crisp base so the ingredients shone through. They are a bit more expensive then your Dominos or Pizza hut but the quality stands out so do yourself a favour.

A nice suburban eatery. While everyone else enjoyed their food, unfortunately my potatoes were slightly burnt so a bitter flavour permeated. We came back for the gnocchi and it was awesome one again. But usually a great place to eat and very good for families.

Wow the pasta dishes were amazing, I will definitely be back for more. Their pizza was good but pasta was outstanding. Tiramisu was also delicious.

Food and the service was excellent! Prices were great and very reasonable. A wonderful place to dine out with friends, family or just dinner for two.

Decent pasta and pizza. Although it's definitely not $$, I enjoyed the pasta. The sauce is rich and flavourful, pasta is fresh. The pizza is great except its a bit greasy and soggy. But that might be because I left it sitting there for awhile. Portions are great and environment is cosy. Possibly coming back for a brunch session.

Our favourite Italian restaurant. Food is always pleasant. Staff is attentive.

Via Fratelli in Malvern East is a true gem! With the best Italian food in the area, their dishes are delicious. The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff make dining a delight. A must-try for all Italian food lovers! Grazie, Via Fratelli!

Always a pleasure eating here. Last minute walk in on a Monday night you won't be disappointed Prices are most competitive I've seen for a long time. Love coming here

We were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed our experience here! Incredibly tasty and fresh pasta, generous servings, short wait times, reasonable pricing AND super friendly waiters! It’s rare to find a restaurant that ticks all of those boxes! We’ll definitely be coming back in the future 😄

Excellent food and friendly service. Calamari awesome. Eggplant to die for. Couldn't eat another mouthful but still managed to wolf down an amazing pizza and chips and... Worth every calorie. Yum!

The chicken & mushroom gnocchi was delicious. The gnocchi was very soft and the sauce tasty. The spaghetti marinara had lots of different seafood and did not dissapoint!

Love the pizzas from via Fratelli, especially the garlic cheese pizza—delicious. A great place for dinner or takeaway, service is always friendly

The lamb shanks were to die for. The service was great and the atmosphere was great. Prices very reasonable.

Had a pizza and a gnocci - both were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back.

Italian food cooked by Indians which was definitely false advertising. The chef looked dirty and so did the restaurant. We didn’t even order and canceled our reservation. Definitely would not recommend.

Food is amazing, star lost because we placed 2 orders the other night, 5 minutes apart, first order was quick, second part of the order took an hour.

Authentic Italian food, great prices and portions enough to share. Enjoyed every morsel, didn't have room for dessert 😋

Highly recommend the Spaghetti marinara and tiramisu is delicious. I was really impressed by the service and recently had some brilliant pizzas. Definitely go again soon!
