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…

It was definitely amazing
The gnocchi with Bolognese was delicious and the salad with pinenuts and a pizza with artichokes and desert was delicious. I recommend everything to everyone.

Our experience this time was disappointing. The food (pasta) was bland. We had 3 drinks brought to our table that we didn’t order and despite saying this and the waiters walking away with those drinks, they still appeared on our bill at the end of the night.
They were removed but they shouldn’t have been on there because the waiters should have addressed this with the bar staff.

Food was good, service tried hard but felt frantic. Host was rude and disinterested. The waiter announced that early bookings weren’t allowed to have more than one course- never heard of that in all my years of dining! And certainly wasn’t part of the booking process. Overall disappointing experience.

As always we had a fabulous meal at Che Vuoi celebrating a family birthday. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff are next level friendly and nothing is too much bother. We actually do not go anywhere else for a family celebration - it's that great. See you there!!

Had a party of 9 people and a pup in the outdoor marquee for dinner on a Thursday night. We had great service and the food did not disappoint. Will gladly go again.

Food was exceptional and compared to other Barwon Heads options this was the pick for us for both value and flavour. Meals were filling and full of flavour and the desert was awesome. This was our second visit and we will return many more times.
We ate the seafood ravioli, the mushroom pasta and the desert pizza with nutella which were all very good. Previously we have had the pizza and other pastas which were also very good.
I recommend this restaurant.
