Birichino Cucina & Pizzeria

Great southern Italian food Excellent pizzas Service is quick and friendly It's now are regular after movie venue

I went to Birichino last night. The restaurant was half emptty but we were given a really badly located small two seater table in a thoroughfare and were told we couldn't sit elsewhere. Then two women came in and were shown to a large four seater table. When we were served we were not offered any accompaniments. When the two wmen ordered the same thing they were given two accompaniments. I couldn't catch the waiters attention and had to go to the bar and ask for the accompaniments. During the night, the waiters were very attentive to the few customers who were there and were well known, but we were basically ignored. Clearly if you are not known to them, they don't put the effort in.. The main course of gnocchi ragu and tagliatelle pistachio were served tepid and lacked flavour. The tagliatelle was over cooked. The desserts were lovely. There is no excuse for bad service. Lift your game.

My wife and I went here looking for some delicious wood fired pizza and that is exactly what we got! The pizzas were absolutely yummy and the pizza bases were very fresh. The restaurant is a small little family run place with cosy seating. There are drinks available too and the staff is very friendly! I had the birichino pizza which is highly recommended!

This Italian restaurant is simply worth a visit with totally delicious food, friendly service, and a chef who will alter the menu to suit, if you have dietary restrictions. Medium priced meals.

All we do when we come to Melbourne is eat out and try different places every time. Melbourne is a plethora of fantastic food experiences and they are all very good as there is a lot of competition out there. Great Italian family atmosphere, great food and wine. Our table had a good view of the street traffic and pedestrians which provided some amusement. Kids well catered for. Happy to come back again for another visit.
