Caffé Greco, Melbourne’s iconic dining institution and meeting place, is reopening after three decades in Oakleigh. Its origins trace back to the inspiring story of Nick Madalena, a Greek man who journeyed to Rome in 1760, founding the original Caffè Greco, which has since become a revered national institution in Italy, celebrated for over 260 years. This tale of migration and the pursuit of a better life is what motivated Nick Zampelis to establish a Melbourne branch of Caffé Greco, continuing a legacy of cultural exchange and community that spans centuries.As Melbourne’s own Caffé Greco reopens, it draws from this rich heritage of bringing together diverse minds, continuing the tradition of being a cultural meeting point where patrons can not only enjoy fine coffee but also engage in the kind of conversation and creativity that defined its Roman predecessor.

Consistency is the word to use with Il Solito Posto. Consistently fresh and flavoursome food, exceptional service and a price point that is adequate for both personal and corporate wallets. This is my go-to restaurant when I have visiting executives, and I am always applauded for the choice. In a world where post COVID service can be sadly lacking in many restaurants, Il Solito keeps raising the bar. Cannot fault the service or food. Thank you, team!
