The theatre of food at Teatro is synonymous with a Italian marketplace. From delicious selection of Antipasti to Traditional Italian wood-fired pizza, and amazing Pasta dishes Teatro caters for all guests. Whether a quick dinner before a show at the arts centre, a wine or cocktail with the river view or a lunch before heading to the art gallery or the gardens of our beautiful city.
A fresh seasonal produce driven menu inspires our ever-changing Italian cuisine with plenty of vegetarian and Gluten Free options. The theatre itself remains constant, but the food and the menu are constantly evolving. Why not enjoy the stunning views of the Yarra River whilst indulging in some Chianti & dessert on Southbank Promenade.

Teatro is my favourite Melbourne restaurant, especially pre theatre or show. When you sit at the counter you can see your dinner cooked in front of you. The service is excellent, attentive and not intrusive. The menu is not too big so they serve the food they know they do well.

Lunch after a concert at Hamer Hall and perfect weather to sit outside...a beautiful ambiance indeed. I had a pasta....great sauce but not spectacular. My friend had a combination of eggplant and arrancini and she was very happy too. Sweets were to die for especially the Tiramisu. Very good coffee too. Will return.

I’ve been here once before and quite enjoyed it so thought I’d take another friend here. Their menu was much smaller tonight and weren’t serving pizzas for some reason so we had to pick something else from the menu which was rather limited. Our waiter was hovering for an uncomfortable amount of time so we felt forced to order our mains and I’ve got to say, I was less than impressed with what I received. I ordered the pumpkin ravioli with prawns which was $44 and the flavours did not only clash but the pasta was bland and did not taste freshly made. This restaurant is definitely aimed at tourists who will pay a high price for mediocre food, just to eat with a view of the Yarra. I’m more than disappointed this time and won’t be coming here again.
