The 33 Best Restaurants In Melbourne 2023

"A night out at 1800 Lasagne is a guaranteed good time. The joyful Italian restaurant started out as a delivery service only for those in the know, run out of an old Holden hatchback. The candle-lit, brick-and-mortar version adds romance and nostalgia to the mix with brick archways, checkered tablecloths, and some of Melbourne’s best DJs on record duty. The pork-and-beef lasagne is big on silky bechamel, and there’s an eggplant option for vegetarians. There’s no shortage of amaro, chianti, or prosecco either. If it’s drinkable, delicious, and Italian, you’ll likely find it here." - ellen fraser
