Not here!! They cater for us vegans who love a cheeky almond milk latte in the morning. Their takeaway cups are Lavazza so I assume they also use their beans. It's a nice blend: not too bitter, not too tasteless and complete with almond milk, it's a feast for the senses. I have yet to try their food hence my 4-star verdict, however if it's anything like their coffee, I'd be more than willing to give them a 5-star review. The staff are friendly and I've been going so frequently they know my order by heart! Great cafe for those in the area who don't travel to the CBD during the week.

They now gouge you if you want to substitute one thing for another, eg a pizza topping - so swapping mushrooms for onion costs $2. When asked about it, I was given a diatribe about how hard it is with customers wanting to change things all the time - well that is what hospitality is about. This strikes me as plain greed. I don't plan to return until they sort this out.

I ordered a Mango Chicken Burger, and as it was mothers day, my mum ordered a risotto. The flavour of the burger was amazing, with the mango, avocado and the aioli, but the chips tasted like they were sitting around for a while. The risotto was not creamy like a risotto but had a "incredible taste". The building is in need of a renovation, but otherwise it is an amazing location. You might want to make a booking though, as it gets quite busy

My partner had a baguette with was beautiful and fresh, as were the ingredients that were used inside it. Upon leaving we were asked how everything was. There were definitely no complaints. The shop is also situated where the sun isn't going to cause any problems. I mention this because if you've been to the Subway at Gepps Cross Homemaker Centre you'll know what I mean. On a hot day having that sun stream through the window can make for uncomfortable dining. Thankfully that's a non issue here.

It's a nice little cafe with your standard Italian breads, breakfast items, and of course coffee. While this all may seem pretty standard, what they do, they do rather well. Well enough for it to come up in conversation when talking about places to go for lunch. Yes lunch, and only lunch. They're not open for dinner which is a shame, but I'm sure they have their reasons. The prices are more than reasonable and undercut a lot of other cafes around the area. If you're nearby and want a good feed at a decent price then check this place out.

Oh yes, this was to be a patatas bravas off. I knew Udaberri's offering well. Crispy little steam pillows of potato, salted well and served with a moorish dipping sauce. Let's see what these Torinoites can do. They can present potatoes pretty well, that's for starters. The dish arrived on a lovely patterned plate in a sea of red sauce with some waves - a la Modern Australian circa 2006 - of mayo over the top. And a number of those cute little wooden chip fork things you see at music festivals. The sauce was vibrant and had just the right amount of heat. The potatoes were mostly soggy, with a few redeeming crispy specimens. The mayo was disappointing. Bland, stiff, and calling out for touch of Japan in Kewpie. Udaberri wins on the bravas. Though I wished they served it more traditionally. Torino gets many points for location and ambiance. * Guys, get your menu online.

Well located on Hutt Street so parking is not as much of an issue. Their drinks list is extensive with a good variety of cocktails too. For someone like me who doesn't drink, the bartender will more than happily make mocktails for you based on your preferred flavours and they are gooooood. Food here leans towards the tapas style but there are big plates you can order to yourself if you're not in a sharing mood. Always check the board for specials because that's how we got some pork belly! The cigars to me are a must, filled veal and tuna mayo it just has such great flavour and texture. We also tried the "toastie" filled with korean beef cheek and cheese which was delicious. We figured empanadas were a must so we ordered that too before our main of the Pork Belly Special with Cabbage. I have to say I find the pricing a little erratic with for eg. $5 for 1 small veal and tuna cigar and $6.50 for a whole toastie. It can however get quite noisy in there especially near the bar area at busy times so nab a table outside if you want to chat. Having said that, overall the experience is pretty good and the food is tasty! The place always seems packed when we drive past. We did go on a weekend and turned up early (5.45pm) to get a table though I think within 20 minutes the whole place was full already so take that into account with your plans.

It's all standard, simple, cafe fare, but well prepared - you can tell they care about the food they're serving here.

So not only are…read morethey capitilising on nothing, they've also hidden the message behind the crazy, cryptic language of Italiano! Since it's an Italian café, I thought I'd go a cappucino and some focaccia, in keeping with the theme. The focaccia tasted almost as good as what my Nonna can do herself (which is high praise indeed), and the cappucino was fairly good too. What I didn't like was the café's appearance. Maybe it's naïve to think so, but if you're going to give your establishment an Italian name, don't end it there. Italianise the place a bit. I'm not saying you should stick flags all over the walls. That's cheap and tacky. But try to evoke some of the great spirit and atmosphere we associate with the country.

If you look near the door there's a little label that has details of the business registration on it, and that's where the name is. It's a shame because this is a quality cafe, and no one knows what to call it. My suggestion is to put it in your GPS and check it out that way. If you don't know Mawson Lakes very well that is... The coffee is the thing I rave about here. Well... when I say coffee I mean hot chocolate. I don't actually drink coffee. It's nice to sit down with a cup of chocolate and just relax and engage in some conversation. If you opt for a gourmet sandwich or roll I can guarantee you the end product will be lovely and fresh. If you have room for it and aren't on a diet I also suggest one of their cakes. Yum. People may not know the name, but they know the reputation.

The cafe is split in half with a large selection of continental goods; cold meats, salami etc. The other half is a well presented counter with a selection of quality cakes and sandwiches that can be made fresh to your liking. My favourite is the toasted schnitzel roll. The menu also shows many special breakfast options and while they are not cheap I do think the quality would be there for you to indulge. There is some seating inside but if you want to have a personal conversation then it is better to sit outside where your coffee will be brought out to you. I am so looking forward to when smoking is banned in public places. On several occasions I have been here for a business meeting / coffee and have been exposed to smokers nearby. I have always been impressed with how clean and well presented this little cafe is. And, with excellent coffee I will continue to be a regular here.
