    Beletti Restaurant Cafe Bar - Had Linguine Di Mare which was alright, didn't have enough seasoning but the seafood was generous portions and fresh.

    A few years back, when Beletti's was brand spanking new it was a busy little hub for those in…read moreDandenong on business or working in the area. Fast forward a few years and the success continued, with good coffee and a decent food available. Fast forward to today, Dandenong has continued to grow and some amazing small businesses have come to the area. I would say since this time Beletti's hasn't been the busy little hub as smaller (and better) coffee shops moved closer to the bigger offices, making the walk to Beletti's for coffee obsolete. Also, with the huge success of The Pavilion just around the corner I'd be surprised if Beletti's hasn't taken a hit. After telling my sister over three years ago (back when it was really good) I'd take her here for brunch, I finally got around to it yesterday. The interior of Beletti's is modern, well-lit and spacious. I've never had bad service here, they're so friendly and welcoming. I just had a latte and a ham, cheese and tomato croissant from the breakfast menu. The coffee was decent, the croissant was quite soggy at the bottom which was disappointing. My sister reported her soy chai was delightful. In its heyday, this place was great. Still good for the odd work meeting or breakfast if you work nearby, or for dinner if you live local. I think it just happens to be that better coffee shops and restaurants have moved into the area in recent years and are in closer proximity to the Dandenong CBD so it makes makes coming to Beletti's a bit... unnecessary, for lack of a better word.

    I was in Dandenong on business and Beletti was at the bottom of my accommodation, Punt Hill. I…read moreventured out onto the street to see what was available to eat and could not see much. I decided to give Beletti a go. I ordered the pork robs for dinner and they are awesome. They have a Jack Daniels marinade that is really tasty. It was a Friday night and the place was half full. Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Defintlety worth a look. Followed up with an Affogatto with Frangelico. Fancy... check out the photo.

    La Porchetta has been here for years. It's been a go-to for a lot of my family events given we live…read morelocal, and over the years the food has gotten consistently worse to the point I won't bother ever going back. I think others have noticed too, heading in for a Tuesday night dinner the place had only a few small groups for the large space. Service, whilst friendly, seemed to be a difficult task. Example: we cancelled our order for single glasses of soft drink and instead got a jug to share. So we got a jug of soft drink and one glass of soft drink. I don't even understand how that makes sense. I ordered the grilled fish with vegetables, the fish was gummy and disgusting. The vegetables looked like they came from a frozen bah of McCain's, they were limp, sad and had no taste. Other meals included a meat lovers pizza, mushroom tagliatelle, rib eye steak and seafood platter. Wow, the pizza was awful! Absolutely no pride taken into making a decent meal, gross shredded ham, a piece of salami per slice and a little bit of cheese. Rubbery and dry. Pasta seemed to be ok as was the steak and seafood platter. Given its trajectory it would not surprise me that this place will be out of business by the time I next return to Melbourne. My food was disgusting and inedible. Avoid at all costs.

    Unfavourable experience. When we arrived they couldnt find our booking. We were seated but after…read more20 minutes I had to go to the bar and ask for someone to serve us. Meals were great, but afterwards the waitress did not remove our plates, even though she was standing around doing nothing. Upon leaving and paying there was no communication from the cashier, she did not ask if we enjoyed our meals, she did not smile or say thank you. It was a very underwhelming experience so I dont think i'll be returning.
