The Italian Chef

Located along bustling Chapel St in the heart of South Yarra's foodie precinct, Italian Chef, as its name suggests, proudly serves authentic Italian dishes.

The restaurant encapsulates the Italian style of dining, urging patrons to "Mangia! Mangia!" in an intimate gathering while cherishing a meal which honours classical Italian flavours and quality ingredients.

The menu uses the finest ingredients – taking into account availability and seasonal variations as well as tempt regulars with something new and interesting. 

To start the sfoglia di verdure is an absolute must-have. An enticing roll of melt-in-your-mouth homemade puff pastry encasing capsicum, onion, carrot and zucchini and finished with a luxurious cheese and truffle sauce. Simply yum!

For mains, the Anatra  Rosso was delicious. The slices of duck were cooked to perfection allowing the rich flavour of the duck to transpire. The sweet and sticky sherry sauce and fresh cherries provided the crowning element to this wonderful dish. 

The scallopina agli asparagi was similarly delicious. Beautifully tender, the veal had a melt in your mouth consistency. The Napoli sauce and masterful touch of mascarpone and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese added a delightful salinity to the dish

Our visit concluded on a sweet note with a dessert of chocolate fondant which was well made with a rich billowing chocolate centre and a slightly crisp cake exterior. This dessert would delight any chocolate lover.

Italian Chef combines friendly and affable staff, wonderful ambience and good food to deliver a memorable experience.
