Have to be my favourite pub . The specials are the best value for money . Steak all day and into the night on a Tuesday and roast for $24 on a Sunday . Excellent service from our waiter “Darius” so professional and knowledgeable . I like to dine here every couple of months as I live on the Mornington Peninsula and this would have to be the best pub meal ever . So Thankyou I will be back .

A true Melbourne hospitality venue, Park Street Pasta goes above and beyond with their attention to detail, level of service and fantastic hand made pasta along with a menu filled with dishes from the homeland. With so much Italian on offer in Melbourne it is refreshing to find a venue that is able keep the menu and experience engaging whilst authentic. Stand out dishes for me would be the Kingfish, Tartare, King Prawn Pasta, Pistachio Brûlée and a dish of roast peppers and anchovy cream. Thanks team for a wonderful experience.
