Busy, noisy, super friendly vibe. The food is always terrific. Choose any pasta with any sauce. Crepes are a fun ending. Service and staff are the best. Love it. Every month.

The staff we rude, the food was terrible the taste and texture was dolimos level of awful, and my friend and I were hovered around the whole time by staff as we are.

The menu (charmingly written on blackboards around the restaurant) offers a wide range of Italian favorites. There's a genuine energy and warmth on the inside, and you get the feeling that everyone is having a terrific time, no matter where they're seated or what they've ordered. It is a Melbourne institution and long may it continue.

: Never knew about this hidden gem in the city before. Such a cute and small family Italian restaurant with authentic pastas and dishes.

️: We got the big pasta platter so we could try a bit of everything. My favorite had to be the Carbonara spaghetti, so tasty I don’t even know how to explain A definite MUST ORDER!

It is a small place but it is worth making a booking there. Excellent casalingo cooking with plenty of pasta dishes and it has a good, old school Italian appearance.

Good service and tasty food. Enjoyed the padta option with nice chilli kick in Aglio E Oglio pasta. Tiramisu was enjoyable and of decent serving portion

Gone for lunch here a few times with work friends and always had a great meal. The pastas are always fantastic and it's always a great experience. Just be prepared for the staff as the can be a bit short with you

Authentic Italian, with everything on the menu that you would expect. Generous servings, in a casual noisy bustling atmosphere. Don't expect to while away to many hours in there at lunch, they move everyone on at the end of each session. By the way it is BYO.
Would recommend.

I have eaten here so many times and I fail to find any reason why I won't come back for more. Great friendly service, quick and bloody tasty food. Wine in a tumbler is champion. Thanks guys.
I would add a picture, but to be honest, I'm always too busy eating

You don't come here for a gourmet meal. You come here to enjoy well executed homely Italian meal in shoulder to shoulder dining at lunchtime with business colleagues. The great part is its BYO - so you can bring something treasured from the cellar to share with mates. Shades of Bill n Tony's or No Names in Sydney 40 years ago. Long may it be successful.

One of my favourites in Melb. No frills Italian that is oh so good. Casual vibe yet still a special atmosphere.
Good value, BYO, Gluten Free options available, and the staff are great.

Such a great classic spot in Melbourne. Really yummy pasta, quick and affordable. The service is the simple, no bullsh*t attitude, which is kind of endearing and refreshing. Great for a quick office lunch or late feed with accompanying vino tinto.

The Waiters Restaraunt is one of those hidden gems in Melbourne that everyone needs to try once. I think Pelligrini's (also great) over shadows The Waiters which is great as it keeps it a bit lesser known.

If you go, be sure to try the lasagne. Delish!

Very rude service, unwelcoming for a group of 5 of us. Confused to how people found their dining experience here enjoyable. If you like to order food without knowing how much it is and enjoy 5 green beans and 1 potato with your Parma then this is the place for you!

Great food and oh.how popular! I love how part of it's history is on the wall with an article about the siege by a gunman back in the 1970's. Cops just bring down his Mum and it is all over! Love it!

No frills service, cheap wine and tasty homestyle meals. Cheerful atmosphere. Left content after a meal of Saltimbocca and Sangiovese
