Ferrovia Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

I'm moving to the area soon and wanted to try out this local place. And I have to say, these people sure know what they're doing with their food!

My partner and I had the lamb and eggplant polpette for entree and roast spatchcock and grilled rib-eye for mains. All dishes were fantastic with the polpettes melt-in-your-mouth tender. I ordered my rib-eye rare and it was cooked perfectly. The sangiovese we had was also smooth but full of taste and had a smokey fragrance to it that was lovely to just sit with and smell.

We ordered a bruschetta with poached eggs and eggs in purgatory.

The bruschetta toast was slightly burned, topped with huge pieces of tomato with barely any oil through them, not to mention the lack of any Italian flavours other than the flavour of the tomato. The poached eggs were tiny, and the moment I cut them, the yolk ran through the cold massive pieces of tomato only to immediately become cold; where was the bocconcini!?

Eggs in purgatory was not spicy at all. Zero kick! Eggs were slightly under cooked and the sauce whilst saucy didn't really introduce any authenticity in Italian flavour as it could have easily been eggs and canned baked beans mixed together; and a burnt piece of toast!

As much as the service was top notch, the coffee was excellent, the food was not of the same calibre.
