First of all, I'll start by saying that the food was nice and we especially enjoyed the Maldives pizza. However, we were left wholly disappointed and upset by the service and one of the chefs in particular. My son ordered the Italian Sausage pasta but quickly realised there was no sausage in the dish whatsoever, so we sent it back to the kitchen as we thought there must have been a mistake. For context, this was also after the waitress who handed the dish to him called it the Funghi pasta, and when we expressed confusion by that she asked us what we ordered and then said "oh yes, this is the Italian Sausage pasta then." The chef then came out (without a mask, hat or food-handling gloves) to hand the dish back to my son and insisted it was the Italian Sausage pasta. My son suggested that perhaps there had been some kind of error as he had gone through the dish and there was absolutely no sausage. The chef did not offer any type of resolution and quite concerningly dismissed him, firmly, repetitively and publicly declaring that my son was wrong, and left. We did not pursue the matter further because, being a child, my son became quite understandably embarrassed and shaken by that interaction with this adult chef and wanted to just quietly and quickly finish the meal and leave. My wife mentioned the incident when we were paying, to which management responded with taking $3.80 off our bill. While we appreciate the gesture, we would suggest that this was an unsatisfactory and tactless response, which did not address or remedy our experience at all. Although the rest of the food was fine, we will not be visiting again and cannot recommend it due to this poor hospitality which, I'm afraid to say, stands out in my...
Read morePleasantly surprised! Many of the local restaurants boast amazing dishes, but after a couple duds we found this place open late at night (about 9:40pm) and thought we could top up on some pizza as we weren't satisfied.
The staff were really friendly despite it being late, they didn't rush, and they offered cutlery, napkins, butter, extra sauce etc, which was nice considering alot of places you have to continually ask for things or they forget.
There was a great variety of pizza combinations on the menu, and also other options.
The steak and chipotle pizza tasted amazing! The base was perfect, it was dense without being soggy. All of toppings tasted fresh and the steak tender. We ordered the large, and in my opinion, it was large, but my partner was able the eat almost the whole thing by himself (he was very hungry and it tasted so good he didn't want to stop!)
We also had the gnocchi with the carbonara sauce (it's a staple in my life) and honestly it was better than many "authentic" restaurants. I don't think it was handmade there (forgive me if i'm wrong) but it was cooked so well, it was perfect, and the sauce was really flavoursome. Loved it. Also had the gnocchi with pine nut, roasted pumpkin, and herb infused oil. Yummy, slightly sweet, great combination.
Only wish we had more time to support this eatery, I would have loved to try more, it was well worth...
Read moreWas staying in Warrnambool from Melbourne. Reviews look good but don’t be fooled by them. I experienced good fast service. Food was ready in 10 mins which should have been the red flag.
Was with some mates, we ordered a few pizzas (the lot) polli fungi pasta, calamari.
Pasta had as much flavour as a cracker. I don’t think it had a single pinch of salt nor pepper. It had no complexity, empty taste just plain fettuccine with sauce. Lacked any noticeable flavour 1/5 ⭐️
This was less of a ‘The Lot’ pizza and more of a BBQ sauce and prawn overload. First off, the BBQ sauce completely drowned out any other flavors, making everything taste the same—sweet and overpowering. On top of that, the prawns were so massive that every bite was just a mouthful of prawn, completely overshadowing the other toppings (not that you could taste them over the BBQ sauce anyway). To make things worse, the whole pizza was sloppy and fell apart while eating. If they balanced the ingredients properly and used a traditional tomato base, this could have been decent. Instead, it was just a mess 2/5 ⭐️
Calamari actually not bad. Only issue it was over priced for the small handful that you got. And it was complimented with guacamole. WTH serves calamari with avocado lol. Where’s the tartar sauce? Herbed mayo?? Cmonnn man 2/5⭐️
Don’t waste your time. Not...
