Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page is for sit-down Italian and pizza: five restaurants in and around Moonee Ponds, with one in Ascot Vale. Takeaway gets a mention where a listing prints it, but the angle is a table and a menu.
Every place was matched against two independent sources: OpenStreetMap, the venue’s own site and, where it had one, the Australian Good Food Guide. Prices are copied as printed on the menu pages linked below. Where we found no readable prices, we say so rather than guess, and BYO is marked not stated.

Carosello’s menu prints Gnocchi Zucca Spinaci at $36.00, described as lightly fried gnocchi with pumpkin, baby spinach, goats curd and balsamic glaze. Its site also prints Spaghetti Marinara at $42.00, made with squid ink spaghetti. The same site lists hours as Monday closed, Tuesday to Thursday 5:00 to 9:30 PM, Friday and Saturday 5:00 to 10:00 PM, and Sunday 12:00 to 3:00 PM then 5:00 to 9:30 PM.

- Gnocchi Zucca Spinaci: $36.00
- Pappardelle Lamb Ragu: $36.00
- Spaghetti Marinara: $42.00
- Bug Risotto: $49.00
Menu tells: the Bug Risotto at $49.00 is the top price among the dishes we copied.
Il Caminetto — 114 Pascoe Vale Road, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039
Il Caminetto’s own site gives its address as Pascoe Vale Rd, Moonee Ponds, and AGFG and OpenStreetMap agree. AGFG’s listing shows Monday to Thursday 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM, and Friday to Sunday 12:00 PM to 9:30 PM. That is an owner-maintained directory, so hours may have drifted. AGFG lists Vegan Options, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining. We copied no prices.
BYO / takeaway: BYO is not stated; AGFG lists takeaway.
Farro — 30 Puckle St, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039
Farro’s menu prints Meatball Pizza at $29 and MARGHERITA (V,VGO) at $25. It prints Bufala Margherita [V] at $28, and the bracketed letters are the menu’s own dietary tags. Pasta also appears, with TAGLIATELLE AL TARTUFO at $31. We could not find listed hours, so we are not stating any.
On the menu (copied from farro.com.au/menu on 9 October 2026):
- Meatball Pizza: $29
- GARLIC OR HERB FOCACCIA (VG): $14
- PATATE E TARTUFO (V,VGO): $29
- TAGLIATELLE AL TARTUFO: $31
The classic: the margherita, printed at $25 as MARGHERITA (V,VGO).
La Burrata — 12 Hinkins Street
La Burrata’s own site gives 12 Hinkins Street, Moonee Ponds. The site lists Tuesday to Sunday 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and OpenStreetMap’s tags show the same window as 17:00 to 22:00. The name points to burrata, a fresh cheese with a mozzarella shell and a soft cream-filled centre. We copied no menu prices.
Verdict for: a Tuesday to Sunday evening booking, going by its own listed hours; BYO is not stated.
Pizza Minded Italian Cafe Bar & Restaurant — 221 Union Road, Ascot Vale VIC 3032
Pizza Minded sits at 221 Union Road in Ascot Vale, just over from Moonee Ponds. Its site says its range includes vegan pizzas, with every creation made with the same commitment to flavor and quality. AGFG lists Takeaway and Alfresco Dining. We found no readable prices and no hours to quote.
The style: the site names pizza and a full vegan range; we found no dough or oven detail.
