To impart the very unique smoky flavor we light the bark on fire to release the aromatic smell in the smoke.

After reading many reviews, I decided on Il Solito Posto and was not disappointed. This is an honest and authentic, charming Italian restaurant . We started with the small antipasto, which is perfect for a couple. My husband enjoyed the veal ragu, whilst I went for the meatballs with silky smooth polenta and a napoli sauce -YUM! they were so soft, with a smoked mozzarella filling, so good! The staff were friendly and professional. Next time in Melbourne, we'll definitely be back.

After our first experience here, a recent magnificent Christmas lunch, we were keen to return and we were not disappointed. The food is delicious and the menu is very easy to adapt to a grazing/sharing style. The music play list was hand picked and had a nearby table also trying to guess the artist or band. Lighting, ambience and staff were all great. I can see why they are celebrating 30 years in business. We’ll definitely return! Thanks!
