An absolute dining delight! My daughter and I savoured every last mouthful. The staff were attentive and charming. Accommodating my daughter's coeliac requirements was no problem. It wasn't just dinner, it was a wonderful gustatory experience. Thank you, 38 Chairs. Next time I'm in Melbourne, I'll be sure to visit.
A must-visit spot for creative vegan dishes, a vibrant ambiance, and unique flavor combinations that'll leave you craving more!

The first entrees that came out were delicious but it was downhill from there. Mains consisted of a slab of gluten meat with minimal sauce and some dry overcooked root vegetables. The desserts were small and lacklustre.
Overall, a very disappointing and over priced meal.
Experience a charming trattoria that feels like home, offering a cozy ambiance and a personal touch with fresh, homegrown ingredients.

Last night I celebrated my birthday at the beautiful restaurant with my girlfriends. Let's just say expect the unexpected here! Food is directly from the farm to your plate. There's no menu so the expectation is a surprise and when it does you're blown out of your mind. From the bread as a starter to the meat board then to the entrees and then the mains to mind blowing desserts everything here was a delight. Leave it to the chef and you're in great hands. They even cater for vegetarians and gluten free meals. Service was exceptional with Mo and Pietro! Thank you again and definitely coming back!
A vibrant spot with a fantastic Italian vibe, great hospitality, and unique non-alcoholic cocktails that'll make your visit unforgettable.

I celebrated my birthday party for 25 people at Cosi and we had the best time. Everyone complimented the delicious food, the great atmosphere and the attentive staff. We were personally taken care of by Bradi who was absolutely awesome! Thank you! Additionally organising the event was a bit stressful as it was sharing menu, but I had guests with some very complex dietaries (fructose free/pescetarian/truffle free/gluten feee). I was reassured by Roberta, the events manager, who organised separate dining options for guests with dietaries. Absolutely great team at Cosi and iβm super excited to celebrate there again :)
Experience a must-visit spot in Melbourne that keeps guests coming back for more with its amazing vibes and top-notch service.

Absolutely divine. Food was incredible, service fantastic and a special mention to the chefs who handed me a little package of gluten free bread after I mentioned it was the best Iβve ever had!! Absolutely loved our night at Matilda, will most definitely be back.
Sleek vibes and a lively atmosphere make it a fun spot, but food quality varies, and the warmth can be a bit much on hot days.

While the food and atmosphere was great our server Nathan really made the night amazing! Was so kind and helpful to all our needs especially as one of my friends was gluten free, would come back again as Nathan was so welcoming and helpful
Casual Italian spot serves tasty pizzas and pasta with a variety of options, though expect some wait time for orders.

Hi guys, I sent the below last Thursday in response to your email "how was your experience?" but not sure whether you received as I received a Bounced message re the email address replied to (?) . Anyway, here fyi comments my dinner 8/3:
Most of the food for our party of 3 was Good BUT..
By 7 pm you had run out of gluten free pizza bases which at that time of night is unacceptable. As someone who is very gluten intolerant, I would have booked elsewhere if Iβd thought there was any risk of that occurring.
Instead I had the Pasta "di mare " but w GF pasta. The seafood and sauce were good, no probs at all. On the other hand, the pasta itself was way undercooked- my guess is by about 5 minutes or more - and essentially inedible. (Gluten free pasta takes a LOT longer to cook than regular pasta). My plate returned to the kitchen w almost all the pasta still on it. I brought this the attention of ur waitperson and she said she would let the chef know.
End of the night we get the bill and we were still charged for the dish. This is unacceptable and suggests that either the server did not bring the issue to the attention of the manager to remove the item from the bill, or the server did so and the manager made a bad decision not to.
Spoilt my night and I went home and made myself something to eat as I was ravenous.
Two stars deducted for the service shortcomings.
Itβs good butt not amazing. The wine menu is sensational, some beautiful wines here by the bottle. The food was alright, it was disappointing that the gluten free bread was from Aldi and the regular bread looked like aeroplane buns. The oysters were 10/10 and the truffle arinchi was lit af. howeverβ¦ I ordered the 700g rib eye and it was a little disappointing for the price it wasnβt very impressive. I also ordered the βseasonalβgreens and there was nothing seasonal about this as it was green beans with snow peas and thatβs itβ¦ the menu highlighted a variety of vegetables.
The dessertβ¦ Iβm not sure how to describe this appropriately but there were two, what was ice cream on a chocolate granola and then a pina colada βtrickleβ which no one liked apart from me because Iβm a Labrador.
So all in all, yes and no as a recommendation. Donβt be blown away xx
THE go to place when having intimate or casual catch ups.
Attentive staff cater to coeliac and diary requirements , great atmosphere , and food is world class.
Worth the price
The service level is very high and friendly and many levels above what is the norm in Melbourne. The menu is varied and exciting and caters well for different allergies (gluten, lactos, nuts etc). Presentation is beautiful and very tasteful. Impressive wine list too. Feels like you are in Europe. Highly recommended!
Really delicious food and wines, so many options at very reasonable prices. Vegan cheese available which is great, and gluten-free bases available but I did have a bit of a reaction after eating here so I probably wouldnβt recommend for coeliac sufferers (they do not claim to be coeliac-friendly so I wonβt dock points for this!). The food came out quickly and our entire group really enjoyed their meal so I definitely recommend grabbing dinner here.
Enjoy a unique midweek bottomless brunch experience with tasty drinks and a prime location right by the train station.

Terrible place. Dirty first of all, and disinterested staff who werenβt friendly at all. Food was bland and overpriced. I ordered a βpremium loose leaf teaβ and was given a low rate supermarket tea bag in a pot. I didnβt drink it and asked for it to be taken off of the bill because it wasnβt what I ordered. No apology or acknowledgement. Worst of all I told the waitress I was a coeliac if she could pass it on to the chef, and ordered something quite safe (salmon salad bowl) and still got sick from gluten contamination. I have a feeling this was once a good place that is now being run into the ground by poor management.
