    “I recently dined at Casa Mariotti and it was an unforgettable experience! This family-run gem, straight from Rome to Melbourne, offers authentic Roman cuisine that’s simply to die for. The passion for food is evident in every dish, from the exquisite pastas to the delightful Roman delicacies. The warm, family atmosphere, with every member playing a part, makes you feel like part of the family. Highly recommend for an authentic taste of Rome!” The zucchini carbonara was delicious and also the Roman Supplì al telefono were outstanding. Great wine list and well crafted negroni, the owner is a fantastic host. Grazie mille!
