Pinotta

With exposed brick walls, good old Italian service and homemade pasta, Pinotta is one of Melbourne's best Italian restaurants. Located on best Street in Fitzroy North, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed and the food hearty and rustic. There is a real feel of old-school European cuisine, with recycled timber furnishings and dishes that pop with colours from the seasonal fresh produce used to create the menu. There is a focus on quality with that unmistakable freshness from handmade pasta from the kitchen. If you're after a dining adventure full of generosity and warm service, make a trip to Pinotta today.
