Mr Tucci — Restaurant in Melbourne

Mum and I both ordered the Mr. T burger with chips and it was quite tasty. I also had a vanilla shake which tasted really yummy but I just wish it was bigger, or at least I wish they had options for larger sizes. Customer service was professional and prompt. A small cute cafe located on the corner of high street; small yes, but filled with people because it seems to be a crowd pleaser. Thank you for the lovely experience. I will definitely be back in the future.

Update: I went back again, this time round with four of us. I ordered the tasting plate which had a little bit of everything (mushrooms, egg, bacon, waffles). Very interesting flavours, I wish it was larger. Definitely a platter only at a suitable size for one person. The waffles had some liquidy lemon curd topped on it, which was quite tasty and sweet. The mushrooms were well-cooked, and the caramelised bacon was on-point.

Update: I went back again, with four of us. I think the menu had been updated and I was really keen to get the Japanese fried chicken and mayo on a waffle. Unfortunately, though, their deep fryer wasn’t working so I couldn’t even get that dish. Instead, I got the black waffles which were quite tasty. My iced chocolate, however, was subpar and I would’ve liked a larger size, a bit more chocolate flavour, with whipped cream and drizzled chocolate on top. I’m also wondering why they change their menu so frequently. Just when I start to like a menu item, I come back and the entire menu has been updated and my favourite meal disappears. Bring back the baked eggs n beans, Mr T burger, and the...

Beautifully located, and conveniently close to the reservoir. Unfortunately, staff were incredibly rude. Simply asking when the coffees would be ready (wanted to know if we should have coffee before or after) was followed by an interrogation. WHY? ARE YOU IN A HURRY? We thought we would give the place another try for brunch. And we were greeted with. I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN A HURRY? Followed by an awkward silence. If you have attitude, don’t work in a service industry.

In response to your reply. You are correct we asked after the order, because after you received the order, you proceeded to start cooking. We had a child in the pram ready for a walk outside before it gets too hot, and wanted to know the ETA (cancel order or other options)

And according to you, you were just inquiring if we were in a hurry. But there is a difference between “Are you in a hurry?” And “I thought you were in a hurry?”. In the grand schemes of things is not a big deal, but it comes off very rude.

In short, poor attitude towards all of us, twice on the same day on multiple instances. We hope you learn from this and improve your customer service skills for the...

New review in 2025 - Sad to see this cafe go down hill. The owner on our last 2 occasions decides she can do the orders, coffees and food as the only person working which just doesn’t work. Not enjoyable experience and the portion sizes of the food has gone down hill, e.g. 2 pieces of bacon for a dish called siracha bacon is poor.

Aircon wasn’t on during the summer, lose cables and fencing inside the cafe impacting the decor.

It is admirable that the owner thinks she can do it all, but not taking coffee orders until after food is on the table, and being absent when we leave the cafe because you are in the kitchen ruins the experience. I hope you learn from this and improve moving forwards.

Previous review in 2022 - Nice open windows - good all round from food, drinks to service.

Was a long time fan of santucci’s but with this just around the corner … may have...
