Vaporetto Bar & Eatery

Fantastic service. I always sit at the bar and have some great chats with the friendly and entertaining staff. Cocktails are highly recommended. Food is also amazing!

Beautiful food and superior service. Highly recommended.
Anecdote: the table on the edge of the mezzanine has a splendid view on the kitchen. Very good show and fantastic display of skills and professionalism.

Nice service. Their Aperol Spritz has a little twist which I enjoyed.
Their pasta dishes, of good size and cooked to perfection.
Booking is essential if you want a bit of time and enjoy deserts.

Vaporetto is by far my favourite place in Hawthorn (and in the top for Melbourne). The food and cocktails are sensational, having tried many things on the menu I've always enjoyed everything I've had. The vibe and style is excellent. But most of all the service is absolutely impeccable, unfaltering, helpful but not pushy and above and beyond. Recently the staff gave us a limoncello on the house for something teeny tiny we thought was hilarious but they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and taken care of. If you haven't been yet you are doing yourself a disservice!

I'm a local and myself and members of my family have been coming to Vaporetto over the last few years. I had a birthday meal there last night and we all thouroughly enjoyed it. Vapaoretto never dissapoints.

The food is so expensive, if you're a serious foodie then I suppose it is a must.the only reason I give it 3 stars is because my Nanna loves the place.

For the rest of us non-foodies, the flavour combinations can feel a bit alienating when reading the menu, and feel underwhelming when eaten.

I was under the assumption that the crazy combination of flavours would produce more flavour than it did.

I wouldn't say it's traditional Italian food. But it's got some Italian roots.

For what it's worth I am slightly biased because I seriously hate anything that seems "hipster" so take what I say with a grain of salt.

This place was so busy when we went, but the staff were SO attentive and so friendly, you'd hardly know that the poor things were run off their feet! The food was divine, cocktails were different and exciting, and the decor was lovely. It was pricey, but definitely worth it.
