Nestled amongst riverside treetops on Southgate’s mid level, La Camera boasts two balconies with stunning views over The Yarra River and iconic Flinders Street Station. The interior is adorned with vintage black-and-white photographs depicting the history of the family that has owned and operated the restaurant since it opened in 2000. La Camera Southgate offers an array of authentic Italian dishes including unique Roman-style pizzas, authentic Pappardelle Ox Cheek from Trastevere-Rome and by far the most delectable Tiramisu in town. The emphasis is on quality ingredients, and fresh seasonal produce.

Hi Debbie, Thanks so much for your great feedback. Yes hardly a day goes by without someone mentioning it's the best pizza. It's a Roman-style pizza with a great texture, crispy and thin base. We look forward to seeing you back. Kind regards, Paul Scidone Manager

We had the Seafood Linguine, 4 mussels from a tin, bits of white fish and 2 prawns, no flavour at all.
La Camera SouthgateResponded on 8 November 2024
Hi Debbie, Sorry you did not enjoy our Linguini Pescatore as it is our signature dish. It is still my favourite dish on the menu but I am not doubting you as the chefs might have missed some of the seasoning. I would love to have you in again to give it another go. ( Our shout) The mussels are deshelled fresh every morning, the white fish is Barramundi and the 2 prawns are King Prawns. We also have diced calamari in the mix. Kindest regards, Paul Scidone Manager and family member.
