Di Stasio Citta

Really cool place. Visual sensory engaged with projectors playing different video clips. High ceiling. Concrete everywhere. Really has a museum vibe. We ordered scallops and ricotta dumplings for entrees, beef with polenta and crab pasta for the main. The entrees are nice. Then it comes the main. First of all, the pasta was really plain, only the crab tasted good however tiny tiny amount. Secondly, the beef my friend ordered was served and replaced by chicken without informing us or even offering alternatives before head because it’s suddenly sold out(…?) Shocked that this unprofessional behaviour can happen in a 2 hats restaurant. Lastly, dessert. Tiny. The waiter gave us attitude when we didn’t leave a tip at the end. How? Do you expect something back when you didn’t deliver? Overall food doesn’t achieve 2 hats restaurant especially with overcharged prices. More importantly, service was clearly not living up to the standards and expectations a 2 hat restaurant would have. FYI, if you are looking for a truly great Italian restaurant, go to Tipo 00.

Lovely stylish Italian restaurant located opposite Parliament. Portion was great - we had the 2 course menu and already full. Pasta is freshly made stirred into right amount of sauce. Saltimbocca was paired with white wine buttery sauce that melt in your mouth.

The food and wine were excellent. The service was very pleasant but quite slow - it seemed like they didn't have enough staff on the floor. The projected movie art is a bad idea. It did my head in! A 2 - 3 minute set of video shots repeating over and over, again and again, was very annoying. When you're seated in a fixed position you have no way of avoiding such distractions happening on the wall in front of you. It somewhat spoiled my lunch experience.

Came for a late dinner service. Pleasantly greeted with a beautiful ambience, overall a nice venue. Tried arancini with the fococcia and ricotta for our entrees both were a light way to enter into the meal but very tasty. I tried the Eye Fillet which was perfectly cooked paired with Pâté on fococcia. Very nice flavour profile. I’ve forgotten who our servers name was but it was his 2nd day from memory and he made the experience very pleasant with his knowledge of the menus and overall service.

It was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. Everything we ordered was super delicious, especially their arancini😋 The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

Fantastic food and service! Had the most wonderful and fun time! Staff are super attentive and all the small details are noted and taken care of. Their pasta specials are spectacular, particular stars on the show were all the seafood and fish related dishes. Food is super flavourful and rich. Great selection of wine , cool and classic cocktails

Everything served is fantastic in taste and quality, except the price and serving sizes. Do not take any old school Italian for dinner here or you will never hear the end of how hungry they were after a $400+ meal. Recommended Lygon St instead.

The food I was served was absolutely impeccable at Di Stasio tonight. The arancini balls were sublime, nice and warm but not too hot, as they often tend to be. The focaccia was delicious, the waitress very cleverly had it served alongside the soft, pillowy ricotta & spinach gnudi so I could sop up the burnt butter sauce. I wasn’t a huge fan of the cream served with the focaccia, it was far too rich but the butter sauce was amazing so I didn’t mind at all. The main meal, pasta bolognaise, was delicious and the ZABAGLIONE CUSTARD was quite simply incredible. My only issue with my visit to this innovative and conceptual restaurant was the pricing. The entree serve size of the pasta was $43, and while I was not left hungry afterwards *at all* I do feel the pricing for this and the gnudi was a bit crazy given how little was served. Beyond this, a delicious dinner and I look forward to visiting again! PS Thank you to the lovely lady who was my waitress, you gave some excellent recommendations :)

The food and service was great! We've already been back and will likely go back again before we leave town. Excellent experience!

Pronto! Home ordering an Italian feast when in locked down Melbourne couldn't be smoother than with Di Stasio Citta. The comprehensive menu is available online and the staff are only to happy to answer any questions over the phone. I ordered the baked crumbed scallops for entree. Juicy, deliciousness encased in a perfect crumb. The prawn and parsley pasta with sunshine for main, surely brightened my day. Plus a side of fries and house salad, made this delicious dinner complete. Oh the house bread and butter is a must too. What is there not to love about restaurant bread and butter? The service was impeccable and my order arrived right on time.

Recently opened Italian restaurant located in a residential building across from Treasury Gardens. The food was top shelf. My veal melted in my mouth, the risotto quite good but the desert was probable the best.
