#1 Scusa Mi! Italiano
Italian | ★ 4.1/5 (1,127 reviews) | $$

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. It does not try to be everything. It tries to be good at one thing. It succeeds.

What locals say: *“Went there on a busy Friday evening where the restaurant was absolutely packed.
I was not keeping my expectations high, because I had not been there before and did not want to di…”*
Mid-range pricing that reflects fair value for what comes out of the kitchen.

#1 Di Virgona’s Pizza & Pasta
Italian
What makes it great: The word of mouth around Di Virgona’s Pizza & Pasta has done more than any review ever could.

#1 Al Vecchio Forno
Italian
What makes it great: Nobody goes to Al Vecchio Forno for the decor. They go for the food, obviously. 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. If this place were in Fitzroy, there would be a queue. In Glen Waverley, you can still walk in.
