Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Bentleigh East

Lovely dining room and authentic Italian food and service. The whole table raved about their dishes. Good diverse menu. Drinks are pricey. Lovely friendly service. Definitely recommend. We will return for sure.

We had an early table at 5:45 upstairs. It’s a great room and we were sitting in the area between the kitchen and the bar which was quite narrow, but the staff were very attentive and watching always for anyone moving in that narrow section the restaurant had an amazing turnover of people. Which I would think was a testament to the good service and the good food lots of families having, a quick meal plus others who were grazing and enjoying the atmosphere. The fit out is really really wonderful. Everything was tiptop from the time we walked into the restaurant to the time we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was exemplary. we had oysters, fish and steak. The steak could’ve melted in my mouth like it was covered in butter, the oysters were incredible. The cheese platter was incredible. You know I have to say for a local restaurant. It’s a nine out of 10. We will be back at least 100 times thanks for looking after us Grazie.

Delicious food and attentive service. Different dining space options, a front room, fireside dining room and more casual outdoor space. You could easily have an intimate dinner for two or more casual catch up. We really enjoyed it.

Dining at Cucina & Co was an absolute delight from start to finish! This restaurant truly excels in delivering an authentic Italian culinary experience. The food is simply outstanding. Each dish is crafted with high quality ingredients, showcasing the rich and genuine flavours of Italy.

Eternally grateful that this is in our neighbourhood. Excellent pizzas, interesting wines by the glass, friendly and professional service, and remarkably keen prices (esp for Malvern). The tiramisu is delicious and a huge serve, so we share. We tend to book later in the evening as it can get noisy if big groups are in. Recommend booking as is super popular.
