Tipico - Italian Restaurant

We came on a quite night, the service was great, food arrived on time (with kids meals prioritised as it should be) ; great italian restaurant and good wine selection.

Food is a joke and big disappointment. Certainly overcharged for awful food like this. So so so so damn salty. I couldn’t taste anything else but salt. It’s an insult to Italian food. Jesus. And the service is funny.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt unwelcome. The waiter should be the boss, giving people the impression that I can't laugh and I am proud, which makes people uncomfortable. This is the only restaurant I have been to that is impolite and not delicious.
It's terrible, the noodles are salty, the direct service is not good, and the service is average.

Had my birthday dinner on Thursday night. The manager called to confirm booking numbers and was so accommodating and overall lovely. The food was exquisite and I genuinely had the most amazing experience. Will 100% be going back and will become my new local place to dine. Highly recommend dining here. We also got the feed me option which was fantastic

Great food and cocktails. Focaccia was great with the whipped butter. Loved the squid ink pasta too and the barata.

The food was good, would go back for the dishes
Nice service but something is lacking

Overall, Tipico was good. Decor is nice and modern but felt intimate. Service was good and attentive. Food was good. What we ordered was cooked well and tasted good, just nothing really wowed us. The homemade focaccia with whipped butter was delicious though.

Superb food and service. Every mouthful of food is totally delicious. Beautiful food and surrounds

I was a little bit disappointed with this place after waiting for so long to visit.

We waited for about 10 minutes even though we had a reservation. This wasn’t too much of a big deal, but it’s worth noting.

We had the Tortelli and Risotto for mains. The sauce that went with the Tortelli was delicious and worked really well. But the pasta was quite underdone in places. Not so much that it was inedible, but a bit too chewy for my liking. And I say that as someone who generally prefers a bit more al dente. It is also worth noting that none of the Moreton Bugs were in the actual pasta, rather it was placed on top of it. The filling of the Tortelli comprised solely of stracciatella. Which tasted great, but due to the fact that it is so liquidy when melted, it all burst out as soon as I cut into the pasta, leaving me with half a Tortelli with no filling. If I wanted to ensure I got some cheese with the Tortelli, had to eat it all in one go, which was a little undignified due to the size of said Tortelli. The bugs themselves were good, but I felt the pieces could have been a bit larger.

The risotto, like the pasta, was a bit underdone in my opinion. And the overall taste of the dish wasn’t great. There was a strong, strange flavour that permeated the dish. I have a feeling this is one of those things were some people would love it and others would hate it. Unfortunately I’m in the latter. There was also some slightly grainy stuff spread throughout the risotto, like little bits of sand or something.

A tiramisu for dessert. Overall, it was ok. The flavour was nice but the texture wasn’t great. The marscapone was watery and you didn’t really get any bite from the ladyfingers.

The cocktails were great and the service was very friendly. I wouldn’t rule out coming back here, because I still get good vibes from this place, and I still believe they’re capable of doing good food. Unfortunately I just ordered the wrong thing and came on the wrong day.

5.5/10

A nice cozy Italian restaurant, good ambience. Stephanie is good host who’s helpful and cheerful, thank you!

The food is really good - oysters, kingfish entree, lovely pastas and one should not miss their awesome tiramisu.

Perfect Italian Dining experience
Recommend everything, but especially the espresso martini

Me and my friend went, had an amazing experience, great food, great cheese and was served with more cheese! Great service, honestly the service was better than most high end restaurants - the genuine nature of the staff, the friendliness, fully informative and having knowledge of the customer with immaculate accuracy was perfect. Definitely will be going back both for both the food and the service.

Absolutely delicious! The 4 course chefs menu exceeded our expectations. Some of the best ravioli and veal cutlets we have ever had. There’s wasn’t a dish we didn’t love, definitely will be back!

Amazing food, atmosphere and staff. Our favourite restaurant in Melbourne. Couldn't recommend this place any more.

So glad I found this little gem of a place! Had dinner here with my friends and we had an amazing experience! The staff were attentive, polite and knew their menu well as they were spot on with their recommendations. The atmosphere was lovely and we were seating close to the kitchen so we could also see the chefs preparing our dishes. Every dish that we had was delicious and I had one of the best mocktails (cause I was driving) I’ve had in awhile! There is also easy off street parking and we will definitely be back to try the other dishes we didn’t get to on the menu! Definitely recommend to book ahead too! Well done Tipico!

Went for a Christmas party, with a group of 10.
Service was fantastic, they were incredibly attentive and helped out with dietary requirements as we had the set menu.
Food was great, really enjoyed the cutlets, calamari and ragu.

Simply outstanding and a match for any renowned Italian restaurants Melbourne is famous for. Well done to Andrea and his team.

For entrees, we ordered, Ciabattine, Salumi Misti with Buffalo Mozzarella, Ostriche and Crudo. The warm pizza dough complemented the Salumi very well.

All of us went for the Tortelli for our mains - 6 large tortellini was surprisingly filling as the serve seemed small. The pasta was a little thick and a little chewy and the flavour was well balanced. A tasty dish. For a little spice, ask for some chilli in oil.

The charred Broccolini side dish was delicious.

Dessert was Crostata Al Limone - a lemon tart which the others enjoyed but I personally found it a little too sweet.

The G. M. C. P cocktail was deliciously refreshing.

Service was good and attentive.

Nice staff, got wrong order but was not charged for it. Some of the food great some not so great

One of my favourite Italian restaurants in Melbourne. The food, cocktails, service, ambiance always continue to impress. I will keep going here again and again. Love it!
