This is a great local restaurant with a good range of meal options and a large wine list.We had the oysters to start, which were delicious, followed by the octopus and prawn sliders, both of which were great.For mains, we both had the veal cotoletta, and again, these tasted amazing plus the charred broccoloni.For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu and the bombe Alaska, and both were to die for.We've eaten here twice prior, but this time in May 2023 was by far the best.We ate our food with a bottle of French pilot noir.My only issue with this restaurant is that they need to crank up the heating as its cold!Staff are all friendly and helpful.Otherwise, everything is amazing, and I can't wait to return!

Great food and very good service. Mentioned to waiter that we intended to share mains and they were brought out over two courses already split to share, great work!Wine list is totally foreign wines so brush up on your Nebbiollo prior to visiting.

Been here with friends and it was an absolute blissful experience!The food was simply great, we ordered a bit of everything and then shared it (only got pics of entrees as we literally devoured the mains). There was not one single dish that wasn't full of flavour, yet delicate.As many before me I can't take the beetroot ravioli out of my mind, shame the portion size is not tailored to my preference, but fair enough.Besides this, waiting time was very reasonable, and I was really impressed with the service, finally professional and passionate people who know their stuff (I asked a few detailed questions about menu items and they knew it thoroughly).Also got treats with beautiful Italian wine. Not to mention the bread...omg I think I want to come back already!

First time eating here and it was delicious! The venue is small, intimate and very cosy while at the same time being open and modern. We had a late booking 8:30pm, and on arrival there was a sweet elderly couple at are table that we had to wait for. We didn’t mind as the staff were lovely and gave us a chance to see some of the dishes that were coming out. We were then offered drinks and soon after that our table was ready.The starters we had were delicious, fresh and you could tell the ingredients they use are of high quality. The burrata was beyond! The pasta dishes are stand out, flavoursome, fresh and one of the first places I’ve not needed extra seasoning! We were very spoilt by the staff (because we waited for our table to be ready) they gave us the most delicious dessert to share and an equally lovely digestive drink after that. And a shout out to the staff especially the head waiter!Thanks for a wonderful evening of food, wine and laughter. Bellissimo!

Riserva Wine in Malvern East, Victoria, Australia is an Italian restaurant that will take your taste buds on a journey. The dishes are crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the ambiance is cozy and elegant. Don't miss the tender and succulent twice-cooked octopus with a crispy exterior, accompanied by a delicious salsa verde. The smoky grilled prawns with creamy aioli sauce are a highlight, and the beef tartare is an adventure for the palate. The gnocchi in creamy tomato sauce is a comforting delight. Finally, the heavenly tiramisu is a perfect ending to the meal. Indulge in the exceptional food and atmosphere at Riserva Wine.

The food did not stack up to the reviews on my visit early Dec last month & I picked this restaurant based on this. Service was excellent. Nice interior but place is a tad noisy as tables are close to each other. Zucchini flower was good but my gnocchi crabmeat (from tin) was too briny. The carrots with tamarind & kewpie squirts did not blend. Desserts were not bad. All up - for $400+ for 4 of us incl a glass of vino each - I have had better elsewhere. We did leave a handsome tip for the service.

Great food and a variety of wine list! The staff (Ms Sisilia) was very kind and guided us with lovely attitude. We’re happy to spend time here to celebrate our holiday. Amazing!

Lovely restaurant and by far one of my favourites in the area. The space is a perfect balance of contemporary and old-school Italian with food to match.Pastas are a standout - particular the prawn special I had on my most recent visit - but starters are good too. I do wish the zucchini flowers were less fried and more filled but the anchovy on top was a nice touch. Cocktails are also good with lots of variety.
