Cosentino - Carlton

Even though the restaurant was really busy, they were still able to find us a table quickly. We were in a rush and they were very accommodating and fast with our service. The Caesar salad was delicious and the prices were reasonable. We had a great experience overall.

This is a restaurant trying hard to be Italian but in my opinion failing significantly.Dinner was an extremely disappointing experience which began with none of the wines listed on the menu being available, we had to contend with their range of three wines. The food was certainly below par, with no prosciutto available for any pizza, trying to convince me that ham was the same thing! Also, the grilled calamari was limp, tasteless looking very much pan cooked. When questioned about this, it was denied feed back (criticism) was not appreciated. As it turns out they are Spanish people trying to compete with the Italians on Lygon Street and doing it poorly... I suggested they cook Spanish food as they may find success. Don't waste your money.

Save your money find somewhere else to dine wines available are low quality steak is under cooked pasta is poorly prepared tasteless unreceptive to criticism still insist on charging premium Rating 2/ 10 . . woulda been better to go to the corner fish n chips shop !!

Friendly service and generous sized servings, but that is where the positives end. Very average, out of a packet flavour and the pizza had that frozen pizza base flavour, though the topping amount was generous.

The service was extremely slow, our table was not even fully set. The salad was limp and lacked seasoning, as did most of the other dishes. To make matters worse, they were out of ingredients to prepare several items on their menu, severely limiting our options. This restaurant is in need of a new chef and better management.
