The food was yummy, service quite good. Although it was a Monday night, there was a moderate crowd and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We had a great evening!

Three courses were great. The ravioli was thick and rubbery. It went back to the kitchen and returned fractionally better. A good Italian restaurant should not serve pasta of that quality. Better to remove it from the menu if it’s not up to scratch.

Botticelli's is consistently great. The menu is full of choice, the daily pasta deals are terrific value and the service is always attentive and friendly. Whether we order from the specials board, the pasta deals or a la carte, we are sure to get a beautifully cooked and presented meal.

Nice restaurant with good decor and ambiance. We sat outside, which was pleasant although chairs were a bit tatty. Service good. Food average...too much oil on the brushetta. Nothing special about seafood.

Excellent food as always with beautiful wine. We tried both of the Italian reds and both were lovely. The carbonara is the best you'll get anywhere in Melbourne. Service was great.

Over priced, poor quality of ingredients and meals were not cooked as per the description on the menu. Paid $19 for 2 tiny pieces of bruschetta, the bread was stale and there was only 1 cherry tomato cut in half. I ordered the pasta marinara for main with oil and garlic. The seafood was over cooked and rubbery and there was about 2cm of butter on the bottom of my plate. I sent it back. My husband ordered the duck ravioli with sage and red wine sauce. No flavour whatsoever of duck, again the sauce was completely different to what was on the menu, no sage or wine, just lots of cream. I had been to this restaurant a year ago and it was brilliant, has definitely been sold or the chef has left.

Beautiful venue and yummy food. Sadly there was not enough staff on and they where stressed out and rude. Also the wrong meal was brought to me and instead of an apology I was doubled questioned what I ordered and made feel bad and told it's going to take forever for the dish I ordered to be made. Put a dampener on my partner and I date night.

A great atmosphere on NYE. Excellent food. Service was a bit slow, but understandable, as the restaurant was full. Very handy to the local cinema, so we could stay until just time to leave for the movie. Highly recommended.

The service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and most obliging. We had the lunch special which was very adequate and delicious. Trendy ambience. It was very noisy which made smooth conversation difficult.

After 4 people being squashed onto a table for 2 we asked to be moved to a larger table. Fingers all over lip of glass when pouring water. Food came out all seperately no offer of a discount or even an apology. Totally disappointed have been half a dozen times before but last night staff untrained and unprofessional. Wont be back

A disappointing experience with food and service below expectations. I would not recommend this restaurant to persons who would expect good quality Italian food. A very limited menu with too much emphasis on pasta and cheap ingredients.

Great food at very good prices and terrific service. The lunchtime special is great value with two levels, both including a glass of house wine. Attentive but not intrusive service and it doesn't matter whether you are dining at lunchtime or for dinner - the quality and value is the same.

We found the food and service at Botticelli excellent. The decor was lovely and the lighting was just right. I always love candles on a table - they really add to the atmosphere. The four of us had a great experience and would definitely go again.

The food was very good and the portions were excellent. Service was also very good. The lighting and ambiance was also very good, the down point was the lack of sound deadening. The venue is very noisy as the waiter had problems hearing us as well. The room could do with some sound absorbing material on the walls, other than that I really enjoyed the experience.
