The friendly atmosphere and exceptional attention to detail with the food makes this a hard option to pass up. Occasionally the coffee takes a little longer but I find it to be consistently good and really can't complain as usually it's me chatting to Dino that slows it down. A visit here is never a wasted effort even when I have to walk halfway across town to eat one of the pasta specials on a Thursday or Friday lunch, finished off with café corretto con grappa !

I went to try and get a morning coffee and the staff would just chat away. I was thinking was anyone going to take my fricken order ? Most coffee shops have the service behind the counter. Took 20 minutes to make an average coffee at best. Do yourself a favor and give this place a miss... But if u have 30 minutes to waste for a coffee then go there.

It's one of my favourite lunch spots too, especially for pasta Thursday and Fridays. Hey LB – I wholeheartedly agree!

Dino and Ines (this is how she spells it) is my favourite lunch time spot in Melbourne. No matter how packed and crazy at lunchtime Dino or Ines will always find you a seat along with a personal word of welcome. Thursday and Fridays are my highlight of the week to see what mouthwatering pasta dishes Ines will be serving! personal favourite is the tuna, pancetta and porcini mushrooms in pomodoro! Coffee is among the best I have had and it is just too hard to resist the cakes-my favourites are the dolce latte cheesecake or sour cherry and pistachio biscotti.. Babbo is my mecca!
