   'Funghi e Tartuffo' is the best plant based dining experience in Melbourne's CBD. Where else can you find Italian waiters serving in an Italian restaurant in Melbourne :) I dined with two non vegan friends and both of them enjoyed their meals, as well as the experience of dining outside in Hardware Lane on a warm evening. It will be my go to vegan dining venue from now on.

   We booked a table (4) at Funghi E Tartufo for an early Friday evening (5:30PM-Nov2024). When we arrived I was surprised to be told that we couldn't be seated inside as 'they were fully booked'. So, we found ourselves on a couple of smallish wabbly tables on Hardware Lane. Not a great start, particularly when we could clearly see that inside the place was completely empty, not a single customer seated anywhere! We ordered our entrees which consisted of the Calamari Fritti which was on a bed of Rocket greens with some roasted capsicum. This dish was OK, probably a 7/10, but probably not worth the $21 price tag. The other entrees were Olive Nocellara, small green unpitted olives in oil with two very small pieces of bread. At $9.00 again overpriced and not much on the plate 6/10. The beer offering is Italian only and NO low or no-alcohol products available. As I was driving I stuck to the table water. The mains were as follows: 1. Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo $36.00 Quite a nice dish, but the serving was quite small 7/10. 2. Ravioli di zucca $32.00 Another pleasant offering but also on the small size 7/10. 3. Gnocchi allo zafferano $34.00 Quite a plain dish on the small side again 6/10 4. Lasagne $36.00 This was the best dish! A reasonable size and good eating 8/10 Desert: 1. Cheesecake al cioccolato $18.00 This was not a bad desert BUT it was nothing like cheescake! More like a chocolate slice 7/10 2. Tiramisù caffe e Amaretto di Saronno $20 Not the worst version of this classic that I have tried, but a bit on the small size again 7/10 So, all up it cost us $261 (+$3.92 card surcharge) $264.92 for a very average meal in a less than comfortable space. When I went inside to pay the place was still empty. Summary: This place lies to its customers and treats them pretty shabbily! The food is OK although most of the servings are quite small. The prices are premium, but the service and the customer experience is sub-par.

   What was (slightly) lacking in food (I’d have given it 5 stars if my carbonara wasn’t a bit of a letdown) and overall value, was more than made up by the excellent service we received. Staff were attentive, friendly and professional and service was fast. Special mention goes to our main waiter (whose name we didn’t get) who was particularly lovely. Overall, highly recommend for a nice night out with friends and good plant-based food.

   I was looking forward to revisiting after a brief lunch a month ago. Dinner did not disappoint. Doris is a wonderful host & recommended the Sicilian Meatloaf which was divine! 5 star! Forget about it being vegan the meal was just a perfect combination of flavours & textures 10/10z The pickled options were soft & delicate & the flavours of the meal just so beautifully balanced & so delicious! Unbelievable & it lingered with me for hours afterwards. A truly unforgettable experience with a Prosecco & lovely Sicilian wine to make it the perfect meal. Thank you!!! It’s not often I ever see or eat meals of this quality.

   We loved the service, the waiters were very attentive, and the food was exquisite. It’s the best plant-based restaurant we’ve been to. We speak Spanish, and the waiter who served us spoke a little Spanish, so it was a unique, magical, and exquisite experience. Of course, we will be back.

    Got a great table by bar. Food was excellent. Not well advertised that dishes labeled with meat were actually plant based. But still great food!
