This restaurant has been in Thornbury a good 10 years or so and was the first fine dining restaurant in the area. We were a large group and shared entrees comprising of Brushetta Mista, Salt & Pepper Calamari, fried whitebait, Arancinis, Polpettine, and the Sausage and mushrooms. They were all good and highly recommend the Sausage and Mushrooms and the Arancini. For mains I ordered the special ‘Spaghetti al Nero’ which is basically Spaghetti infused with Squid Ink with saffron and seafood, absolutely a delicious meal. I tried the Seafood Soup Special that someone else ordered and it was also very good. The service was also excellent as the staff are very knowledgeable.
A cacophony of confusion with a side of ignorance.
The only saving grace for this venue would be its location. Otherwise I’d be shocked to find out how it is still in business!
Service is somehow rushed, casual, confusing and somewhat lacking attention. The venue is fitted well, but obvious attempts to hide things leave a tacky feel. Food is not worth rushing back for. The flavours okay, but again the meal fell short and was lacking attention.
The problem with (what appears to be) owner/management is they are unable to take on feedback and evolve the business with the market. I sincerely hope this one can, as it has the elements for success!
Third time to Baldovino, but most likely our last, very disappointed.
Main meal – fish with half a potato, a handful of lettuce with half a tomato and 2 olives. Stingy!
Next time serve your customers at least a whole potato and a whole tomato!!
Shame
Squid ink and seafood pasta with infused Safron
Ridiculously good
And the portion size is huge and entre is a main in anyone’s language.
Outstanding home styled food and can’t wait to try the sword fish.
And let me say the sword fish was yumm too
Rich well cooked and delicious
This is southern Italian cooking in Melbourne
Fantastic upmarket family italian restaurant, very authentic with everything explained to you by the attentive staff who are mostly family too. Lovely decor, delicious food and welcoming staff. !
The chef is from Sicily and cooks every dish from scratch. Have eaten here 5 times and have only only great experiences. They know and love food and it shows. Tiramisu a must.
My husband and I have eaten at Baldovino’s many times so we decided to have my mothers 70th Bday lunch in the upstairs function room. We were welcomed by friendly staff and seated upstairs in a beautiful room. We had decided on the set menu and were very pleased with the great selection of entre’s that we were given. Everything was delicious and there was more than enough. There were 5 or 6 mains to choose from and I had the fish of the day and was very happy with my selection. Overall the food was good and my mum enjoyed herself which was the main thing. Thank you and we will be visiting again.
