What a neighbourhood gem. Meat Flour Wine offers five star, Melbourne-level quality around the corner. The staff are lovely, friendly and passionate. The food is impeccable. For the first course, we ordered the Tutto Carne pizza, which ticked all the right boxes – crispy, soft, thin, fresh base; premium quality meats. However, I would try something with more colour next time, such as the Prosciutto pizza, which has fresh rocket, cherry tomatoes and shaved parmigiano. The next course, I chose the lamb ragu reginette, and my friend chose the prawn linguine. Wow. I don't typically order pasta at a restaurant, but it is compulsory here. I can honestly say that I haven't had the pleasure of eating pasta like this before. Discard your memory of any pasta you've had before, because this will blow away all expectations. For dessert, we ordered the chef's tasting platter. Forget trying to choose from any of the numerous tantalising options – try them all with the platter. Trust me – you won't regret it. I will certainly be returning soon, and recommending it to all my friends. Keep up the great work, MFW!

Ordered the calamari to share, lobster rolls, linguine with chilli and lamb shoulder. Calamari was extremely disappointing. Too much batter and over salted. Tried to balance it out with by dipping in sauce and having it together with the watercress but it was still too salty. Lobster roll was smaller than expected and in a circle bun style roll, not sure why I was expecting a baguette style roll. Portion was small but tasted great. Sauce was refreshing and buns nice and buttery/fluffy. Linguine was nice and no issues with that. Tasty, light and a pleasant hint of chilli. Lamb shoulder was nice and tender but undersalted. Came with a red wine base sauce which was overpowering and almost too bitter. Was unable to taste any herbs, spices or anything else in the sauce - tasted like plain red wine. The lamb itself needed salt and pepper to taste - had to add quite a bit otherwise it would be plain. The truffle mash that the lamb was served with was really delicious and a generous portion. Spent about $140 for the 4 dishes, definitely on the higher end. Quality is understandable but was surprised at the pricing for a restaurant in the suburb, almost more expensive than some in the cbd. Service was ok. We came at 6 so just an hour after their dinner opening hours started. We were forgotten for a while after being seated with no food menu and was difficult to get the waiter’s attention in the corner. Some of the waiters seemed like they had a bit of an attitude in that they weren’t as polite unless you were a regular. The restaurant is almost always busy which is understandable but I just felt like the stress was taken out on customers. Would probably not come back unfortunately

Food was really nice, but kind of pricey (pricer than you would expect for what it was anyway). That said, I wouldn't have been all that phased by the price if the service was good, but it was not. Our waiter was pushy and very abrupt - for example when putting the pizza stand on our table (we ordered a garlic focaccia as an entree), instead of placing it in the completely empty table setting (we had a table for 4 people and only had 3) the waiter used the pizza stand to push our drinks (and the other condiments) across the table until we ended up picking up everything on the table to make room so the waiter could put the stand where he wanted to (on top of a glass). The waiter said nothing at all - before, during or after. No excuse me, thank you, nothing. The service was pretty much the same all night - short, abrupt, unfriendly - a very clear "hurry up and get out" kind of attitude which was really disappointing as the food and decor were otherwise really nice.

Top quality and very unsuspecting restaurant in this part of town. We arrived without a booking and the maitre d very kindly gave us a table advising the time we had as the table was pre-booked. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and that really topped the night for us. We ordered the morton bay bug entree, pasta special, diavola pizza and small dessert board. Everything other than the entree was delicious! The morton bay bug was maybe overcooked and while visually well presented, we couldn't actually taste any flavours from the other elements on the plate. The green sauce was tasteless. The dessert board was very generous and could definitely serve 4 people especially if you had a good feed already. We'll definitely be back to enjoy this wonderful fine dining that is most certainly on par with Melbourne's top restaurants.

A little fancy restaurant that serves an extensive menu consisting of pasta, steak, pizza and more. We ordered: Oven-baked potato Gnocchi - this was really good, the sauce was tangy, the gnocchi was cooked perfectly, the added melted bufala mozzarella was delicious, it elevated the dish. An Eye filet steak - it was tender and came with a side of chips. Garlic pizza - wood fired pizza and had really good flavour in the crust. Super cheesy and had a good garlic flavour. Zucchini chips - these were cooked nicely and salted perfectly, it came with a cream cheese dip. Arancini balls - these were really good, they had so much flavour packed into them. We also ordered a couple of cocktails, a negroni and an amaretto sour.

Came here for lunch recently been here several times before. Great huge menu. Had a carpaccio for entree was beautifully presented but was just ok for me. My friend had a mushroom risotto which was fantastic. I had a beef cheek agnolotti with an artichoke purée. It was enjoyable. The white chocolate apple crumble looked beautiful and tasted great. For me what let's this place down is the price. It is very overpriced. We had exceptional service by Renee. The waitress who delivered our pasta and risotto had forgotten to offer us the Parmesan & chilli. Renee spotted this mishap and within seconds rectified. They are lucky to have such a friendly proactive and professional staff member
