Zanini Pizzeria - St Kilda East

My wife and I went here for dinner as we have been to the other venue in Elwood and wanted to see if there was much of a different. It's a nice building and the waiter was enthusiastic and very helpful. Pizza is very good here, however we felt the polenta chips were overpriced at $15 dollars and the a la carte food was just ok. It's an open kitchen and one of the chefs stood there stuffing his face with pizza the entire team we were there. It's not a great look and you would think a chef might think twice with an open kitchen but obviously not. Pizza is better than Elwood, but Elwood is better on the non pizza items. Worth a visit. We had the margherita and porcini which were both nice.

Real italian food!

Great food for all the family and friendly service

We waited an hour after entree to be moved to a different table so they could fit in more people into the already squishy room and without any explanation as to where our food was. We felt like we had been forgotten about which was a little bit disappointing. Food was good however would not come me back.

Great food and wine. Wonderful rustic Italian pizzas and pastas and salads. Beautiful! Were a little understaffed at busy time which made it hard for some people to order drinks and food but overall experience was great for us as we went slightly earlier than the crowds.

Nice Italian staff. Hand made rustic wood fired pizza. Great desserts and drinks.

The service was really good considering there was only 2 staff on to do everything and the restaurant was full! We were a little disappointed in the pizza mains.....really need to have the sauce and toppings right to the crust. My fish was nice but expensive.

Delicious food and really generous servings. I really loved the bufalotta pizza and the chocolate mousse was divine.

The service was efficient , the waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was authentic , delicious and the portions generous. Zanini Pizzeria is a real gem !

Great ????

Great Italian food, great service - incredibly authentic and great sized portions. Will be back. We were welcomed in and the table was ready - service was great and meals were super tasty.

best Italian food in melbourne..

Loved coming here!!! Waiter was attentive and food was delicious!

Excellent. Grazie.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great food and great service. I'll be back!

Food was nice and service good, if a little overstretched. Main issue I have with the venue is it is so noisy! Something is off with the acoustics. They made a good Aperol spritz!

Enjoyed our dinner in Zanini. One of the best pizza around, including gluten free option. They also have tap Italian beer, which was quite good.

Real Italian Food

We all thought the food was absolutely fantastic. Everything from the salami board to palenta chips and the main course of pizzas and pastas. Service was a bit slow as I think there was only 1 main server for the tables, but he was trying his best running from table to table. Well done!

High quality, delicious food and fairly priced - great work Team Zanini!
