20 Best Restaurants in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler
"With its easy-breezy Mediterranean food, adventurous drinks list, and shoulder-rubbing intimacy, Osteria Ilaria is fast becoming a favorite hangout among locals in the CBD. Appetizers here pack a punch: The porcini croquettes have achieved local legend status, and the calamari with fava beans and paprika is deeply satisfying. If there's pasta on the menu, try it, but don't neglect the rustic meat dishes, including a superlative rabbit sausage. The remarkably pleasant atmosphere, fortifying food, and diverse drinks make this restaurant a quietly impressive choice for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner." - Dan F. Stapleton
