It’s lovely that we were greeted twice by two separate wait staff who were very friendly, but then it took time to get their attention to order. Food was amazing but with items the delicious Betel Leaf with Prawn, we really needed some wipes to clean sticky fingers. We did our best with napkins, but as an entree I felt sticky for the remainder of the meal. Awesome restaurant and there was a lovely American girl, should have got her name, but she was the hostess that I would like to see in my organisation, where I working on guest experience standards. I will be back!

An iconic Melbourne restaurant, Geppetto’s did not fail to provide excellent service, amazing food and great value. Highly recommend for authentic Italian fare.

From the time we entered, the owner Paris and his staff made us feel welcome. I loved the new look in the place, far more modern and appealing than my last visit some years ago under other owners. I did not like the experience back then but the experience this time under Paris's management is outstanding. Prompt service with a smile and the food was excellent. This is coming from an Australian of Greek heritage. I highly recommend it. Thank-you Paris and to your team. Paris even can outside when we left to thank us and wish us a nice day.
