#1 Bellezza Restaurant
Italian | ★ 4.7/5 (400 reviews) | $$

#1 Mamma Mia — 1450 Malvern Road
Italian
What makes it great: The menu at Mamma Mia is shorter than most. That is not a weakness. The pasta is made in the building — you can usually see it happening if you sit near the kitchen. The sauce has the depth that only comes from time, not shortcuts. Not the flashiest option in Glen Iris. Possibly the best.

#1 Teo’s Pizza and Bar — 1344-1346 Malvern Road
Italian
What makes it great: Teo’s Pizza and Bar opened quietly and got loud fast. There is a reason half of Melbourne’s Italian restaurants reference their nonna. This one actually cooks like she is in the kitchen. Teo’s Pizza and Bar does not need a rebrand or a renovation. It needs you to sit down and order.

#1 Just Italian
Italian
What makes it great: Just Italian opened quietly and got loud fast. They do not call it authentic because that word has lost all meaning in Melbourne. They just cook Italian food the way it is supposed to taste. The kind of place you recommend without being asked.
