La Trattoria Of Lavandula — Restaurant in Victoria

I visited the cafe on the 12/07/25 for the first time, but the kitchen was closed so I only got to try the lavender scones. It is probably one of the best scones I’ve had - everything about it from the scone itself to the cream and jam is 10/10!

I decided to come back again today (10/08/25) to try other items on the menu. I ordered the seafood linguine and pizza for lunch and had plans on grabbing some scones on the way out.

I waited 1 hr for the pasta to arrived and was left very disappointed. The fettuccine was all broken in small pieces and was very salty. The portion was also very small (I regretted not taking any pictures for reference). Despite all that, I still finished the meal as to not waste it.

Even after finishing my meal, the pizza had not arrived. My partner decided to ask about it and was told it would be a 40 minutes wait as it’s a different kitchen. I’m aware that wait times in small cafes are usually longer than most, but it would’ve been nice if they had informed us when we had ordered.

We ended up cancelling the pizza and was given a refund on the pizza, which we’re thankful for. We then decided to get a takeaway scone but was told that it would be a 50 minutes wait for those.

Overall, very disappointed second visit. I was looking forward to trying the rest of the menu and to get more scones but left the farm...

Nestled within the beautiful Lavandula farm, lies an Italian restaurant that is an absolute must-visit and should not be missed. The restaurant is a true culinary delight, offering a range of delectable dishes that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

One of their specialties is the wood-fired pizza, which is hand-made by the family with the utmost professionalism. You can taste the freshness in every bite! The restaurant also has a delicious range of other food selections that will satisfy your cravings.

If you're in the mood for a refreshing drink, the cocktails and mocktails infused with Lavender flowers are a must-try. They are the perfect accompaniment to your meal and will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The restaurant's lavender scones are a standout dish, with their large size and rich aroma of lavender adding a unique touch to the experience. You won't want to miss out on these!

Although the pasta was sold out when I visited, I've heard it's also a popular item on the menu. So, if you're a pasta lover, make sure to get there early!

The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, making it a perfect spot for any weather condition. You can enjoy your meal in the cozy indoor setting or take in the stunning views of the farm while dining al fresco and the staff is...

I placed an order for a takeaway scone, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. There was no communication from staff about how long the order would take. After waiting 15 minutes, I asked a team member about our order and was told it would be at least a 30-minute wait — for a scone. Only after requesting a refund did they begin preparing our order.

Takeaway items should never take 30 minutes, and customers should be informed upfront about any delays. Clear communication and basic service training are essential to avoid situations like this. It might also help to have the jam and cream tubs ready made on pots stored in the fridge so that you don't have to make them up on the spot!

Additionally, I was concerned to see scones left uncovered on the counter for 15+ minutes, exposed to flies. Serving food in these conditions is unacceptable and unhygienic. I hope improvements are made, both in staff training and food...
