Best TIRAMISU in Melbourne! Jackie is the best waiting staff in hospitality industry I've seen in a while. I love his creative Strawberry Spritz (not on menu)! Very caring, detail-oriented & willing to adapt to customer's need! ☆ Pros: - Highly recommend: extra Napoli sauce, Arancino Al Ragu $11, Cavatelli Al Ragu Di Agnello $47 - Arancino Ragu is legit authentic Sicilian style - First time in my life trying Cavatelli Lamb Shoulder Ragu, it is slowly braised for many hours. - Seafood pasta is fresh and has a strong prawn taste. ☆ Cons: Portion size is small and not filling. Foccacia is not the best.

Booked through first table and had a great time! The house made seafood pastas and tiramisu were a stand out and the service was super friendly!

We wanted to treat ourselves with a nice dinner on holiday! So we thought this would be a great option. We had a warm welcome and it was paired with an amazing aperol spritz (10/10). Unfortunately, after we mentioned that we booked through First table, one of the waiters had a complete vibe change - which was unusual as we've never experienced it before. This continued throughout the whole night and at the end he ignored us when we went to pay and just directed us to the eftpos machine. The other waiter was fortunately super hospitable but we did leave with a bitter taste lingering. Just kind of weird!

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were going to have a marvelous time at Quando Quando. Service was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. The menu is small but they definitely deliver. Every dish we ordered tasted very fresh and uses high quality ingredients. We started with burrata and arancini for entrees. We were not going to order the arancini but our waiter recommended it to us, and we were glad to have done so! For mains, we ordered parmigiana di melanzane, linguine allo scoglio and tagliolini porcini salsiccia. Everything was so delicious and the linguine allo scoglio is a must try. We ordered a tiramisu for dessert and it was just a perfect. I'm very glad to find this restaurant as Quando Quando is truly a hidden gem!
