What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Baia Di Vino receives widespread praise for its exceptional food, creative flavors, and beautiful presentation, with many highlighting the exquisite pasta dishes. The service is consistently lauded as attentive and professional, contributing to a delightful dining experience. While generally a hit, some diners note that servings can be small for the price, and on occasion, service may feel efficient rather than warm.
"One of the best Italian dining experiences we have after being in Melbourne for 7 months. The food was stunning and we asked twice from the staff to make sure the kitchen knew we loved it, Alia (spelling?) and Malvern (spelling) behind the bar made everything wonderful and listened when we said wait before mains. The beetroot and goat cheese ravioli is stunning. The stuffed zucchini flowers with the delicious smoked Italian cheese is heaven. The gnocchi is not to be missed as living with an Italian nothing competes with mums but this was bloody amazing! The special parpadelle with duck ragout was out of the world. Just go. Don’t question it just go: YUM"

Nice vibes, cosy atmosphere.
The food was really amazing! Creative flavours and beautiful presentations.
Loved their dessert as well.
Service was good.
Such a lovely bistro close to the beach!
Will definitely be back if I am around the neighbourhood."

"Best restaurant in Sandringham. Brilliant and attentive service, and beet products. As you see in the picture we shared the Paccieri pasta and the Barramundi and they served it in two plates. Very good wine selection too."
