Italian
Located on Spring St, opposite the Treasury Gardens, between Collins St and Flinders Lane, there emerges a truly unique space – imagined, created, curated – that lies at the nexus of all the Di Stasio energies that have come before it. Cittá is a culmination of sorts, a vibrant dynamic next step along a continuum of a challenge and of notions Rinaldo has been grappling with all his life. This is not only a commercial venture – though of course, he has never retreated from this aspect – but is also a vehicle to express and bring together all the aspects of Italo-Australian history, culture, place and heritage. It is an opportunity too to bring a long-standing dream to further fruition, celebrating Rinaldo’s influence on the Australian hospitality, cultural and artistic landscape, through a renewed celebration of Melbourne and the CBD where it all began and of his beloved spiritual and familial home, Italy.

    The food and the service were impeccable. But, the hard concerted floors make it difficult to hear (the noise level was very high). Also some of the projections in the restaurant were a bit questionable… others great. Overall a fab experience…

    A great vibe in the restaurant but food wasn’t nearly as good as the st kilda venue. Staff were good once they sorted out the mix up with our table but it’s missing the finesse of the old days at Di Stasio.

    Surcharges of 20% on top of the weekend menu of 3 courses you are forced to have is a bit rich. Most customers are happy to go that way understanding it’s a weekend and guarantees a minimum spend but to then add a weekend surcharge as well seems like double dipping and a service charge of 10% for a party of 6 which is not a big group to service. Many other quality restaurants in the area only charge a weekend fee on Sunday and a few on groups of over 8. I love Citta as it’s my “local” and regularly go there with a friend for lunch or another couple for dinner. These fees will make me think twice. It does say it on the website but I must have missed it. Disappointing as I was introducing new friends to Citta and with whom we have dined at many memorable restaurants globally. I know firsthand that it’s been a tough few years in hospitality and more headwinds are ahead but I don’t think this is a smart way to treat your loyal customers.

    Waiters kept interpreting dinner asking how the food was, several different staff members- not ideal for romantic dinner. Table was too small. Food was average and way overpriced. Entres not too bad, but mains were awful. Originally we wanted to do a 3 course menu, decided very quickly after mains we weren't staying for dessert, but were charged anyway (even though dessert had not yet been ordered). Generally overpriced, food average, staff were too much. Ambiance was good though.

    Although the food was nice, it was of average quality in terms of flavours and presentation, so, for us clearly overpriced. The place is way too noisy. Staff was lovely but the “weekend surcharge” of 40$ is excessive. Unlike DiStasio Carlton, DiStasio Citta was a disappointment for us.

    A very well oiled machine, the knowledge of the wait staff and the quality of the food was better than expected. Sometimes a restaurant that has been trading for so many years gets a bit tired - not Di Stasi. Prices are regular Melbourne rates, which is always a surprise as SA doesn't mark up wines by that much in general. We went lower end and had the Di Stasio Chardonnay - a buttery wine from their Yarra Valley winery. Loved it!

    Absolutely wonderful food, I had the lamb shoulder and it was cooked to perfection. The chocolate mousse was also a highlight. A little bit pricey overall for lunch in my view but the service was excellent and so was the food.

    Good. Not Great. We ate dinner at Citta and it was not amazing I’ll be honest. The food was inconsistent depending on what we ordered. Oysters were very fresh but the octopus w red wine / chilli was nothing special. Fish of the day - swordfish - was overpowered with a butter base sauce. The lamb shoulder sauce too strong however the mushroom pasta and entree good. They seem to to vegetarian well. Service was not up to standard for the price. Water glasses left unfilled, not asked if we wanted more drinks (in most restaurants they ask you as soon as you finish your glass). We were left sitting with our empty main dishes too long. We had to ask for a second serving of bread. For $600 these things should not happen. Dessert was decent but small and nothing special. Unlikely to return and won’t recommend Citta. Will go back yo St Kilda which seems to be at the right standard for the price.
