About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
Caffé Greco, Melbourne’s iconic dining institution and meeting place, is reopening after three decades in Oakleigh. Its origins trace back to the inspiring story of Nick Madalena, a Greek man who journeyed to Rome in 1760, founding the original Caffè Greco, which has since become a revered national institution in Italy, celebrated for over 260 years. This tale of migration and the pursuit of a better life is what motivated Nick Zampelis to establish a Melbourne branch of Caffé Greco, continuing a legacy of cultural exchange and community that spans centuries.

As Melbourne’s own Caffé Greco reopens, it draws from this rich heritage of bringing together diverse minds, continuing the tradition of being a cultural meeting point where patrons can not only enjoy fine coffee but also engage in the kind of conversation and creativity that defined its Roman predecessor.

    Service was great and restaurant vibe was great. Very loud so found ourselves speaking quite loudly all night. Some dishes were great and full of flavour but some of our mains were very salty and made the dish hard to finish. Cocktails and desserts are amazing 🤩 will definitely go back but in terms of overall experience, went in with high expectations and was a little let down by some of the main dishes we ordered tonight. Hopefully better next time.

    Excellent service and ambience. We ordered the meat platter although the quality of the food cannot be faulted I expected better presentation. It was not great value for money

    We were 15 of us, the whole group is not happy. 2 days before the reservation I received a text from the restaurant stating that we need to have a set menu which is ridiculous. According to them we all must have the same menu. When it comes to pay the bill, the cashier girl showed us attitudes because we spilt the bill. Never go there again.
