Being from Europe, I'm used to a more traditional type of pizza (thin crust, thin layer of toppings), so when I went ahead and ordered a large "Special" pizza... well let's just say I didn't expect to only finish half of it. The amount of toppings was just a bit overwhelming. The crust was very thin though, and not soggy at all, which was nice. I'd give the pizza a 3/5, but the service was pretty fantastic, which explains my overall ranking of 4/5. Super friendly staff, especially the girl with the blonde braid was super nice. Next time I'll definitely try their pasta, which looked amazing (and a bit more traditionally Italian :) ).

Sometimes judging a book by its cover can be a good thing. Such was the case of Cafe Rosco, with…read morethe cutesy and curly lower-case "r" letter smacked in front of the wooden background. After not having eaten in too many hours, becoming cold during a night walk, and losing some energy, I saw folks gathered here and figured it must be halfway decent. Indeed, it was more than halfway decent. Had I known this was a place known for their pizza, I would've ordered that instead but it was only halfway through my meal that I noticed how much pizza was going out. But it's okay - I ordered the ravioli, a pasta dish I hadn't had in AGES and it hit the spot and did the job. Well done, Rosco.

This place has what I have deemed to be the best pizza in the world! It is big and light and has…read morethe perfect toppings. Myself and two others at the table ordered the margarita pizza. Paper thin crust, a delicious amount of home made tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil cooked in their wood fire pizza oven to perfection. Always consistent always fantastic. Lunch time on a Friday is BUSY! Always book. They turn over tables quite quickly as well. As soon as we had taken our last bite plates started disappearing. To the point we had to ask for one back because there was still a slice of pizza left. It felt a little rushed which isn't good if you want a Cruisey Friday work lunch but the food is definitely worth it. Another noteworthy dish is the gnocchi. It uses the same tomato sauce that is on the pizza but with the most pillowy soft gnocchi you could imagine.

Anyway, this is basically your typical Lygon Street café, and if you know Melbourne, you pretty much know what I am talking about - pizza and pasta, in a rather fancy set up, though I can't really complain about that. In a way, it is one of the places, not too fancy, not too tacky, so it is a little more relaxing, and a lot less romantic, unless you considering racing cars romantic. Still, it wasn't bad.

Just the way I like it. After weighing my options I decided to go with the Moroccan Lamb extra large pizza and a large coke. Instead of a pasta or seafood option. Greek style is usually a safe choice for me, as its basicly my favourite. I didn't want to order a milkshake or anything extravagant as I thought I should get something light and easy if Im having a whole large pizza by myself. So large coke it was. The Pizza was incredible. Spot on. I had a good feeling about this option and it did meet my high expectations. And my fear of the Tzatziki sauce being too much or too full on, and overpowering the flavour the pizza. That just did not happen. It was all a nice balance and the cheese was very tasty. The coke was obviously necessary. It was nice. The pizza was quite large. Took a while to finish. Had to slow down towards the end. Fantastic food in a relaxed environment. I really enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. I havnt got a bad word to say, so this place is worthy of my first 5 star review. Well done. I would definitely reccomend coming here.

There's lots to admire from a place that we really should have been to a number of times already. To tell you the truth, I've never quite gelled with Southbank. Apart from the occasional lovely meal, I've always thought the area promised more than it delivered. Not anymore. Fatto is the first restaurant you encounter on the right as you cross the bridge from the city. It's a place you absolutely need to go to. We were lucky enough to try the tasting menu today. It's an incredibly generous range of food. The dishes were absolutely delicious. Even the bread we started with was superb, both seeded and plain. Beautifully fresh and wholesome, these were the best starter breads I have had for quite some time. The first dishes to come out were the antipasti - kingfish tartare, prosciutto and wagyu carpaccio. We thought these were just excellent. The kingfish was our favourite but we also admired the carpaccio very much not just for the lovely taste but that it looked a bit like a Jackson Pollock work (I'm a big Pollock fan). Next we're into the small dishes and these were beautiful too. We adored the spaghettini with spanner crab, lemon and chilli, it was just delicious. Delicate and carefully flavoured, it is a truly wonderful dish. The salad was lovely too. Rocket, Parmesan and pink grapefruit. It's a terrific and refreshing little salad. We had the medium dishes to finish and we loved these too. The sirloin was cooked wonderfully and was very tasty. I actually got a little anxious finishing it knowing there was no more to come. I was enjoying it that much. The chips with house seasoning and aoli were also very pleasant to finish with. I forgot to mention our drinks. We'd started with an extremely well made Aperol spritz. I could offer no greater praise than it seemed as good as ones I've had overseas. It was a cracker. Our wine to accompany the meal was a Pizzini Sangiovese Shiraz. Great winery. Lovely wine. Our two servers were lovely today. Not just for us either. Watching them serve others in the room you could tell they enjoyed their work and were very good at their craft. To conclude, I'll never doubt Southbank again. This is a very good restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine here. We were very surprised at the quality and range. It would be incredibly easy to eat here in conjunction with a trip to nearby galleries and shows and we shall definitely do so in future. A great experience. Thank you to Fatto for the kind invitation to dine here.

Then move on to the brilliant wine list (lots of delicious Italian numbers on offer) and make your way through a varied menu of share plates. We had the potted chicken and nduja, a baked savoury ricotta with beetroot and a rare tuna nicoise number washed down with glasses of Soave. Then two plates got brought to our spot at the bar and we got excited for a minute thinking they were ours but it turned out the salsiccia (meatballs) and ricotta and greens stuffed ravioli were for the couple sitting up from us. Bummer. They smelt amazing so we requested our own. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Everything we ate was spot on, with big flavours and excellent produce. The vibe is fun and relaxed with great service and terrific views; especially if it's a warm night and you score a seat on the terrace.
