Grossi Florentino Melbourne

Grossi Florentino sits on Bourke Street, a five-minute walk from the Regent Theatre. The venue holds two hats from the Australia Good Food Guide and earned the 2024 award for the best regional wine list outside of its home region.

The room runs smart and elegant, leaning into a traditional, classic Italian register that feels purposefully distinct from the experimental bistros currently crowding nearby Collins Street. While the neighborhood is full of fast-moving, casual spots, this is the place to choose for a deliberate pace. It is more formal than the bustling eateries toward Federation Square, making it the right venue when you want the meal to be the night’s singular focus rather than a quick stop before a show.
