The theatre of food at Teatro is synonymous with a Italian marketplace. From delicious selection of Antipasti to Traditional Italian wood-fired pizza, and amazing Pasta dishes Teatro caters for all guests. Whether a quick dinner before a show at the arts centre, a wine or cocktail with the river view or a lunch before heading to the art gallery or the gardens of our beautiful city.
A fresh seasonal produce driven menu inspires our ever-changing Italian cuisine with plenty of vegetarian and Gluten Free options. The theatre itself remains constant, but the food and the menu are constantly evolving. Why not enjoy the stunning views of the Yarra River whilst indulging in some Chianti & dessert on Southbank Promenade.

    The music was initially too loud but then the music system broke so it was way better. We had an outstanding waitress and she was fabulous. Enjoyed the food and drinks very much

    Great location and a great place for a meal. The food is presented nicely and very tasty, not stunning but I don't think this is what the restaurant is positioning itself towards. Would dine again if in the area and after Italian but wouldn't necessarily single this one out if I was looking for an Italian meal

    Very noisy environment. Tables for 2 were too close together. Service was ok. Table was partially set when we were taken to be seated. No S&P or cutlery although other vacant set tables were fully set. This wasn't corrected until our entree arrived. While being seated the waitress asked if we wanted some water but it did not arrive. I requested again 15mins later when I could get the attention of another waiter. Only one menu was provided so I requested another. Staff not attentive enough, eg. filling up water glasses as they didn't leave a bottle on the table. I realise it's a busy time on a Saturday night (7.30pm) but needed more staff on deck to provide better service. Took 15+mins to clear our plates after both entree & main meals. Food was good, but at this price point, our expectation was for more flavoursome meals and very good service. Lastly, be prepared when presented with the EFTPOS terminal and the suggested tipping of minimum 5% (on top of 1% CC fee) with the waiter standing over you.. it just added to the less than positive experience.

    We had a lovely afternoon in the garden area. Sitting under trees on a warm day in Melbourne was perfect. We had intended to stay for lunch but spent the whole afternoon there. Left st 6pm. We nibbled all day with arancini, meat balls, calamari and pizza. There were repeats of these as the afternoon wore on. Everything was delicious. We complemented the food with aperol and lemonchelo sprits, great wine and finishing with gin and tonic. I would recommend this venue to everyone. A fabulous day was had by all

    Requested not to be at a high table in booking due to physical limitations of one diner. But waiter took us straight to a high table. Small meal sizes for the price, although flavour was good.

    The food was good and all at our table were happy. The restaurant was quite busy so there was a bit of noise but nothing that was too annoying.

    I was very disappointed with my experience. None of the notes I provided during the booking were acknowledged, and the overall service was quite poor. Thanks God food was good.

    Food never disappoints, absolutely delicious and perfect portion sizes. We sat outside which is great to capture the city and river views, and for people . Service staff were average, not rude but not present either
