    Amazing food, you need to be hungry to eat here, the portions are large, can share the meals easily. The prices are reasonable. Good range to choose from. Staff are friendly and service is very good.

    Away with work so dined alone. Started with a glass of Blue Pyrenees Cabernet ($9 by the glass) and Grilled Haloumi Bruschetta (Bread, sliced tomato, grilled haloumi, basil, olive oil). Very nice. For a main I had a spaghetti Marinara (entree size) as the Bruschetta was quite filling. Pasta was cooked well, flavour was great and the seafood was tender. Service was good from the friendly staff and prices reasonable. All in all, an enjoyable meal. Recommended.

    Amazing amazing amazing.. we went here tonight for our anniversary and the food was incredible. Both meals were huge (I only ate half of mine and took the rest home) highly recommend. Great value for money you won't be disappointed. We had the Italy Parma and the Italian Parma. Hubby was full and that doesn't happen often ☆☆☆☆☆ will be making this our regular date night venue.

    The menu is so big and could probably be cut in half. The prawn risotto was massive and had so much salt it was hard to eat. Also was missing spinach. The pizza was absolutely covered in onion. The younger staff were pleasant but the older staff couldn't crack a smile. Not the best dining experience.

    DO NOT GET THE SPAGHETTI RAGU! You will be severely disappointed. Tastes like campbells spaghetti sauce. Was so watery and oily it made me sick in the car park. Couldn’t finish it. My Friend got the garlic prawns, had two mouth fulls and couldn’t eat it, frozen veggies, prawns tasted like lemon and the rice was sticky like it had been reheated. Too big of a menu to be quality food.

    Hearty Italian fare. We had pizza with the lot and a porterhouse steak with veggies. Slight mix up with order meant we got chips and salad too - nothing to complain about that! We were there on a very busy Friday night. Tables were full and steady stream of takeaway pizzas keeping the bar and staff very busy. Food was excellent.

    A group of 5 went there for tea before doing the asylum tour … 2 of us had scotch fillet that was supposed to be med rare … half of it was med rare the other half was rare to the point of almost blue …. I was still happy to pay for our meals as other than that the meals were nice …. Instead of being courteous the older lady (I’m guessing owner) told me we are the first to ever complain and that they use a thermometer too cook their steaks …. What has that got to do with being served rare steaks … unless your steak chef is moving the thermometer around said steak whilst cooking you will get different levels of cooked …. We were still charged full price with not even an apology…. I did not want discount I just wanted to point out that our $36 steak was under cooked …. Very disappointed in the reaction too our complaint…

    Absolutely amazing food! The seafood was fresh and the pasta was just perfect! Highly recommend it!

    I tried a burger, which deserves 5 stars. But we also had pasta, pizza and a salad which were not that great, hence the rating. If you're looking for burgers, definitely worth going though.

    Driving through Friday night late to adelaide arrived just on closing time with no options for gluten free anywhere else that late the owner stopped packing up and made a gluten free pizza knowing we had no options. She went above and beyond to make sure we had something to eat and it was more than enjoyable.. wonderful gesture highly recommended by me.

    Magnificent!!! Lovely, lovely people. Awesome food variety and flavours from around the world for their parmas. The Malaysia parma and Italy parma were amazing and a massive serve. All of the food for plentiful. Loved it. Too bad they didn't have any cocktails.

    Probably one of the best calzone and spaghetti we had so far. We just had a stopped at Ararat almost 2 pm near restaurants closing hours and rush to order and didn’t expect much but it turned out that it was nicely made and fresh. superb!

    Yesterday, my partner and I drove all the way from Stawell to Ararat in eager anticipation of enjoying a delicious pizza. We ordered a pizza for take away. When we went to pick the order up, we were waiting for the pizza and the pizza was ready a while ago but everybody is so busy to give it to us. Although pizza was bit cold but we were happy because the taste was good, and we were enjoying our meal. However, our dinner took an unexpected turn when we discovered a piece of glove inside the last two slices of our pizza which was stuck inside the dough. This discovery left us quite shocked and disappointed. Finding foreign objects in food is not only unsightly but also concerning for hygiene and safety reasons. We are genuinely upset with the level of negligence we experienced.

    Delicious pizza and pasta, generous servings and reasonably priced. We were served by Emma who was friendly and helpful and she looked after us well. The local Pinot Gris was outstanding. Thanks for a terrific dinner

    To be Honest the food taste is average, I ordered one side of wedges which were really nice with the sweet chilli and sour cream and with it. I also ordered a vegetarian pizza which was fair enough but the Marinara pizza which I ordered was in a state of total mess. The presentation, taste was average but once about to eat the pizza the toppings and cheese literally separated from the base and dropped onto the plate, with the whole dish/plate filled with liquid sauce. On asking the person serving us she said yeah seafood pizza usually get soggy because of the water from the seafood which I myself being a pizza chef I don’t agree to. The marinara pizza was impossible to eat still I somehow managed to eat some of eat. Please refer to the photo. May be some error while preparing the pizza left it in a situation like this but the staff should definitely look into this and the chef himself as well. This place can definitely do a lot better while serving a marinara pizza I guess. Service, and atmosphere were amazing but just with the food and the mentioned pizza needs to be looked upon carefully since it became impossible to eat. Overall average taste of food but a good service and nice atmosphere.

    The 2 stars are for the bottled beer. We ate one gnocchi each and the mushroom one was a kind of soup with uncooked mushroom and bacon. The chorizo was a bit better but that's only because the other one was so bad. I would avoid going there. I red the bad comments and decided to go anyway...big mistake!
