Nestled amongst riverside treetops on Southgate’s mid level, La Camera boasts two balconies with stunning views over The Yarra River and iconic Flinders Street Station. The interior is adorned with vintage black-and-white photographs depicting the history of the family that has owned and operated the restaurant since it opened in 2000. La Camera Southgate offers an array of authentic Italian dishes including unique Roman-style pizzas, authentic Pappardelle Ox Cheek from Trastevere-Rome and by far the most delectable Tiramisu in town. The emphasis is on quality ingredients, and fresh seasonal produce.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
La Camera Southgate delights with "excellent food and service" in a picturesque riverside setting. Renowned for its "consistently good" Italian cuisine and friendly staff, it's a favorite for pre-theatre dining and special occasions. While some find the ambiance noisy, the "lovely environment" and memorable meals make it a must-visit.

    Have been going to La Camera for many years before/after a performance at the Art Centre precinct and they are 'always' reliable for great food/drinks and excellent service. Their meal sizes are substantial (not like many other restaurants in the precinct who's main course portions are absolute minimal ) and the menu has considerable options. We appreciate that they accommodate our table preferences either inside or outside to enjoy the lovely ambience looking over the city and river. Best restaurant in the Arts Centre Precinct for sure 🙂 We will be back !! Cheers. Brent and Evan.

    The Food and Service excellent. Reasonable prices for the quality. The pizza delusion. Nice views of the Yarra but the restaurant itself could do with a bit of a freshen up.

    The quality of the food was excellent, service was fantastic. Our waitress was very attentive and courteous. Considering it was Christmas Day, some Christmas decorations would have improved the ambience, some bon bons on the tables etc would have made it a more festive atmosphere. If it wasn't Christmas Day, I'd say it was excellent in all respects.
