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.

Loved the food—so delicious! The wine was beautiful, and the service was excellent. There were nine of us, and we had a private room with a lovely dining setup. The ambiance was amazing, and the entire experience was fantastic. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Service was friendly and professional. Entrees and desserts were excellent. Mains a bit disappointing with both steaks tough. Only downside of the night but considering it’s a steak place they probably need to change butchers.
