Eat'aliano by Pino is a casual eatery serving traditional Italian fare. Hanging planter boxes, exposed globes and timber tables brings a modern touch to the restaurant. Owner Pino Russo, also co-owner of La Svolta in Hampton, had a vision to bring the regional flavours of Italy to our doorstep. Only a short walk from Chapel Street, Eat'aliano by Pino uses produce from the Prahran markets to create their dishes, which might hail from the Piedmont region, or be prepared in the Naples cooking style....

Morris Jones has just launched a new Moet & Chandon champagne lunch, and given Head Chef Matthew Butcher's resume, we expected great things. Matthew Butcher has previously worked under big names including Gordon Ramsay and Shannon Bennett, and his style here at Morris Jones could be described as original contemporary Australian.

After undertaking a AVPN-certified course and work experience in Naples, Dan and Elice have brought their skills back to Melbourne to serve us authentic pizza Napoletana. The site previously housed Pizza Piazza, but after running it for a few months, they've transformed it into MELT in order to capture the market for good quality pizza at not-too-lofty prices. MELT has a very nice, modern fit-out including an open-air courtyard area at the back and also a more private room, which would be great for gatherings. Their concept was 'down-the-line'...
