Reviews Summary

Piza e Vino Melville is highly praised for its exceptional pizzas, boasting crispy thin crusts and fresh, flavorful toppings. Diners frequently commend the warm hospitality, friendly and attentive staff, and the charming, intimate atmosphere of the old building setting. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some guests note potential noise from a nearby highway during daytime dining.

"Lovely that this restaurant is not in a shopping centre. Beautiful old house with garden dining. John, our waiter, was efficient and friendly but not overbearing, and the manager (Gavin) was friendly and accommodating going the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our visit."

"Really cute Italian restaurant. The decor created a homey and welcoming feeling. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I don't think I've ever had a hot chocolate where I got to pour the melted chocolate into the milk. I had a pizza and it was incredible. The prices were not too bad either. They had a very interesting sign in the bathroom explaining what they do with their food waste. It was great to see that it doesn't just get thrown away. Highly recommend this restaurant."

Elizabeth Carr

Piza e Vino has become one of my go-to places in recent times..."
