Geppetto Trattoria
$$$$•Italian•4.7(268)Experience True Italian Soul Food at Geppetto Trattoria
Tucked just outside Melbourne’s CBD, right near the MCG, AAMI Park, and Rod Laver Arena, Geppetto Trattoria has been serving up hearty, home-style Italian since 1981. Run by father-son duo Nino and Adriano Cea, we keep things classic – think rich Osso Buco, silky Spaghetti Pescatora, and daily market-fresh seafood.
Whether you’re after a cosy dinner, a quick lunch, or a long catch-up over vino, our handmade pastas, risottos, and seasonal dishes hit the spot. Vegan? Gluten-free? We’ve got you covered – including a dedicated vegan menu.
We’re all about good food and good company. Book a table for two or bring the whole famiglia – and if you're planning a bigger event, ask us about our private dining and function options.Sher Singh East Melbourne
$$$$•Indian•4.5(52)Our Philosophy
Sher Singh is more than just a restaurant, it's a celebration of Indian culture and cuisine. we emphasises Indian historical cuisine and provides traditional North Indian delights by deriving influence from ancient Indian cooking methods and spice combination.
Our Cuisine
The taste and flavours of the north Indian dishes are influenced by the Mughal dynasty that ruled India for three centuries. Food was rich and cooked with aromatic spices, nuts, and dried fruits that time in India's history. Our cuisine preparation is time consuming and intricate, given the numbers of flavourful sauces and butter based curries, almost as if it was designed to make people want more food.
Our Atmosphere
At Sher singh, we believe that dining out should be a memorable experience. That's why we have created a warm and inviting atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of Indian culture. From the decor to the music, every element of our restaurant has been carefully curated.
