Il Tempo Melbourne

We tried the funghi e tartufo pizza and the rigatoni with lamb ragù. Both meals were standouts and the atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic with traditional food in a modern take on Italian dining! 10/10

Finally, a truly authentic Italian restaurant in Australia. I live in France and I’m used to eating in Italian restaurants, often run by Italians, so I’m quite demanding when it comes to Italian food. In Melbourne, this level of authenticity is rare… but here, everything was right. The recipes are genuinely authentic: the flavours, the cooking, and the quality of the ingredients all reflect real Italian cuisine as I know it. This is not an “adapted” version of Italian food, but honest, traditional cooking. A wonderful surprise and highly recommended.

Great experience! The staff were very accommodating, my last minute booking didn’t go through, but they quickly set up a table for our group of eight. They were busy, so the pizzas came out one by one, but it wasn’t a big deal for a larger group. The food was tasty, the service was friendly, and I’d come back again!

Pizza was delicious and great gluten free base, however the Burrata was kind of sad. It was bland and needed something like honey or balsamic to pull it all together. On top of this it is advertised as Gluten free but unfortunately when I asked for it gluten free this meant they brought it out without any kind of bread substitute meaning it was just to be eaten with a spoon. I thought this was a little sad when we were paying $25 for a side dish just for it to come out minus one of the main components of the dish. As much of a cheese lover I am, eating it with a spoon like soup wasn’t quite the intention of ordering. My partner had the aranchios though, which he loved, the sauce was well balanced and delicious! Super unfortunate given the restaurant itself is super cute.

Went last night with the wife for a quick bite after work. Great atmosphere, we did not had a booking but the waitress was so nice and educated to let us seat in a second. We order the arancini and the burrata. The arancini were nice maybe need just an extra sauce at the bottom, burrata was nice as well but the pesto sauce was super well done. After we order a pizza Parmigiana was delicious and tasty. Thank you very much for the hospitality.
