So, on a cool autumn night, we took the tram and headed to this restaurant which has won some awards. We were seated quite close to the door which meant that we could feel the draft. This place is quite small and the table for 4 was quite squishy too... I guess they wanted us to warm each other with our body heat!
Nevertheless, the service was good and friendly and they had a great selection of vino.
We decided to share the lightly battered zucchini flowers (one each). The flowers were lightly battered and tasted good with the ricotta cheese.
For main, I ordered the pasta with parchment paper. It was delicious and I think the parchment paper contained the taste well and the seafood was not overcooked.
Mum had the fish of the day / special of the day served with broad beans. It tasted nice and moist and went very well with my seafood pasta.
We decided to pass on the desserts as we were not too keen on the menu.
Verdict: Not one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to, tables were small and squishy and one feels as if you are not encouraged to sit around. Not going to visit in a hurry.

I was only recently sold on the idea of pasta on parchment paper. i reckon the taste gets infused better with this approach. Chapel Street in Melbourne is fascinating to me, and I can spend a wholeday literally trolling through what it offers in variety - and there is often a delightful surprsie hiding somewhere along the way.
