• Greek • Ocean Grove

Booked 10 times today

A family friendly, modern Greek restaurant. Catering to dietaries, large bookings or private functions, as well as takeaway options. It is so natural for the Greeks to be drawn to hospitality roles that there is even a word with deep historical significance to describe it. ‘philoxenia’ ~ translating to ‘friend of a stranger’ (philos: friend and xenia: stranger). It is accepted as synonymous with hospitality, a willingness to share hospitality generously, and is even suggested to be part of the Greek DNA. When you dine at KALA you are no longer a stranger. You become part of the family. Kali Orexi!

• Italian • Barwon Heads

Booked 29 times today

We Italians like to say that a gesture is worth 1000 words. When our hands aren’t in use, creating or experimenting with canvas and brushes, marble and chisel, pan and pot, we mould air with our fingers. CHE VUOI which translates to ‘what do you want’ is often an involuntary gesture, something we can’t help doing… Like sharing our love for Nonna’s rustic family dishes, fresh homemade pastas, artisan wood fire pizzas and great wines in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. We would be humbled to see you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Ciao & Buon Appetito…

Always a great night and very much enjoyed The food is of a high standard, staff lovely. A bigger space would be good and it can get quite noisy. If you haven’t been you should.

Quite tasty food with good value. Two members of our party did not get their meal, when they queried what was happening, it was discovered the order had not gone through to the kitchen. They were very apologetic and offered two desserts and two drinks as compensation. This offer was accepted, and all was good.

Had a wonderful lunch with friends at this gorgeous winery. Dining is casual and menu is basic but really tasty. Great value, great fun. Wine is really good and for all you Gin drinkers their distillery is brilliant. A great spot for kids as well. Lots of room to run around safely outside.
