Nice food. Lovely restaurant. Would come back & recommend this restaurant to friends.
The restaurant was quite nice and the food was absolutely delicious. It was on the pricier end, considering the positions weren’t large. After half of an entre and one main meal, I wasn’t full. However, I would still come back for a special dinner because the food is worth it. The staff are nice but there is a lot of waiting for someone to approach you. Once we entered we waited for a little bit before being approached and weren’t sure of what to do, we also waited a while to order mains and then again to order dessert. However, the wait time for food was great, not long at all.
Lovely atmosphere, lovely wait staff and amazing food. I had the low fodmap vegan cannelloni and it was wonderful to eat such a delicious meal and still feel great afterwards!
Delicious and perfect for a vegan/non-vegan couple as we were both beyond satisfied. I’ll be dreaming about that pasta for the rest of my life
The Food and service was amazing! Would recommend to everyone!
Great that they cater for different preferences (meat, vegan, fodmap, gluten free).
Really good food and absolutely love that they have vegan and low Fodmap options. My friends and I had a wonderful night, thanks.
Good vegan options but lacking the rich flavour I usually expect from an Italian restaurant
Great service, warm restaurant and great vegan food !! thanks
We loved it. We will definitely come back very soon
Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The 26 dollar entree was stone cold when on the menu it said the bread would be warm, it tasted stale. The main dish was small and came out in a glass dish with napkins underneath it. Bad presentation. Extremely overpriced for what you get.
We had a lovely waitress. The food was excellent and the wine also
excellent service and food choices, noise levels and ventilation perhaps something to considerer especially when sitting 2nd level.
Best truffle pasta ever. Nothing else compares anywhere. Must try.
Lovely food, friendly service. Lots of choices for vegan husband.
We loved our whole experience. The food and vegan options are terrific! Lovely staff and great atmosphere.
Music was a little loud for conversation amongst a bigger group
Really nice, felt fancy. Spoiled only by my food arriving just as my partner had finished theirs. Would be good if meals could arrive at the same time. Table position also made it difficult to catch the attention of wait staff - although we did have an excellent crotch level view of other patrons. 😬
Food is excellent. They are always quick to bring out the meal but you do have a bit of a wait to first order and if you want desert. It’s worth it for the food!
The Vegan food menu is amazing. Basically all imported Italian wines.
Food is always good. Staff could be more friendlier though
Excellent food with stunning presentation. The vegan antipasti and main dishes were all delicious, and the service was lovely. We were well looked after. We will definitely be back.
Very slow service. The food was not good. We will not go back.
The food here is absolutely delicious, I was so disappointed to learn that they have discontinued the vegan arancini... Please bring it back!
Meals were good. Wasn’t notified about the sparkling water came with an extra cost when offered water though.
Everything was very nice, just a little pricey! Will be back for a special occasion dinner!
This is a great place - have been here a few times - but inmost recent visit, service experience was disappointing. Appears staff give preferential service to diners on the bar level - rather than the lower level near front windows. Waited an extraordinary long time between being seated - drink orders - meal orders, etc.. Couldn't get wait staff attention to get new drinks without leaving table and approaching bar or to hail them (which I hate doing). Then waited ,what seems like an eternity, to have plates cleared and dessert menus to arrive. Always love the food and ambience here - but service was not great this time round. Nevertheless, I'll still return as love the menu offering here and the pleasant atmosphere
Fantastic staff, fantastic food and fantasic cocktails. They offer the best vegan food in Australia. Vegan meatballs, calamari and lasagne a must haves.
Excellence. Presentation. Quality. An impressive place. My daughter has introduced me to vegan restaurants from Melbourne to New York. I vote this to be the best so far. No question.
The vegan menu at this restaurant is amazing! Would definitely recommend going here.
Excellency service excellent food. Ate from the vegan menu and left very satisfied.
Perfect meals as always. We love macaroni !! Thank you
Great, hidden spot in Clifton Hill. Amazing vegan options, and food is always 10/10!
Great menu options for non vegan and vegan families to have and equal choice on the menu.!
8 to dinner for Son’s birthday dinner. Most of us are vegetarian. Good atmosphere. Pasta was very salty. Staff really nice and service was great.
Over priced and not worth it! The food here used to be delicious however we won’t be going back after last experience. Garlic bread had way too much garlic, we couldn’t eat it. Even complained twice to staff and they still left it on the bill. Also had to pour our own wine. If you are going to charge these prices, there is a certain expectation of level of service which just wasn’t there. Very disapppinted.
Rose, the waitress was charming and obliging despite being busy. Macaroni is the first restaurant I’ve found that offers an entire vegan menu and separately a FODMAP menu. That’s impressive. We quite enjoyed the main courses. The mussels were good and the seafood stew a pleasure. I found my lamb shank provided me with a meagre meal for the price but it tasted very pleasant. The desserts were really disappointing. The pastry on the tart tasted like flour and water and the pannacotta was the worst we’ve had anywhere, being more like gelatin than cream. The chocolate and almond mousse was more successful. On the whole we did not find our meals particularly good value and the service was a little slow but we might come back to try other main courses and to see Rose again.
Amazing! Totally divine food, great service. Wonderful vegan menu. We will be back! Very highly recommended
Great Italian vegan menu. Lovely atmosphere with candles and mood lighting. We will definitely be back.
My daughter took me there for my 69th birthday as she knew I love Italian food and I have heard very good comments about the restaurant. It totally met my expectations.
