  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for brunch

Located in beautiful Port Melbourne, surrounded by low rise commercial properties, trees, expansive outdoor seating and loads of free parking. This stunning location feels like an inner city escape and a truly unique experience only a stones throw from the CBD.

A modern Australian menu with an Italian influence, its like walking into Nona's house with the elegance of a fine dining café.

    The food was awesome despite the oven going down for the few hours we were there. Regardless the gnocchi and smash burger were delicious. Both dishes were super filling and well executed. Josh in the front was very bubbly and friendly. Loved his service :)

    Good service, coffee and food but the noise from the music makes it very difficult to have a meeting.

    Scarey taxi ride there, an annoying taxi driver home, but the Sunday Roast in between at Frontside was great. We were celebrating a special 'anniversary' and our restaurant choice turned out to be spot on. Head Chef James did a brilliant job 👍🏾 It was our first visit, but definitely not our last.

    Dined Saturday lunch - came for the pork benny but they didn't have the main element for the dish ready so was pretty disappointed. Beautiful space with nice and attentive service.
