“ The atmosphere of this restaurant was beautiful and cozy! The staff were so nice and welcoming. Every dish we ordered was delicious, aromatic and presented beautifully. Absolutely in LOVE with the food!!! The tiramisu was also really tasty! ”
“ Went for a birthday celebration and we had the 5 course dinner with matching wines. What a breath of fresh air this place is , tables where a sensible size giving plenty of space, ambience was pleasant, no competing to have a conversation with other diners, excellent service and extremely knowledgeable staff in both the wines and the menu. Very accommodating on dietary requirements. The food was delicious, very well presented, the seafood pasta and lamb dish were a standout. Only down would be the Tiramisu, I personally enjoyed it as it was light and not as heavy as most but those dining with me felt it didn’t hit the mark as a Tiramisu . Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back to further explore their menu. ”
“ Absolutely incredible dining experience! We were warmly greeted by staff who looked after every step of the dinner. Food was simply amazing! Creative in flavours and playing that I’ve never seen before in Melbourne! Worth every dollar we spent there, definitely a must try dinner spot for groups or dates! ”
“ My partner & I had walked past this venue multiple times, both agreeing that we must visit at least once, which we finally did and it was nothing less than perfection. The venue was beautifully designed, the food was delicious & the waiter we had was amazing. Highly recommend this place. My partner & I went as to celebrate one year since we met and because it was an anniversary, our waiter gifted us an amazing passito wine each. A must go place in my books, we will be back for sure. ”

Everything tonight is perfect! I will come again! Grazie！ ”
“ A Lovely Experience at Foglia di Fico: My partner and I were exploring the area, and the interior of Foglia di Fico immediately caught our attention. While the tables are set relatively close to one another, the lighting, walls, and overall décor create a warm, cozy, and private atmosphere. It’s a space that has been thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail. I made a reservation for our anniversary, and even though we arrived a few minutes earlier than planned, we were greeted warmly and our table was already prepared. To start, we ordered the arancini and tomino as antipasti, both of which were delightful. The portions were just right, and the flavors and textures were truly enjoyable. However, I must highlight the “cappellacci neri di mare,” which was an absolutely amazing dish. The pasta, filled with delicious crab, was complemented by an incredibly flavorful base that was perfectly balanced with seafood. The prawns, with their subtle smoky flavor and grilled texture, added a wonderful depth to the dish, making every bite even more enjoyable. This pasta is both inventive and creative, it’s not your typical frutti di mare pasta, it’s even better. The waitstaff was attentive and offered excellent wine recommendations, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. To top off the experience, they surprised us with a “passito” to celebrate our anniversary, making our romantic dinner just perfect. Thank you so much, Foglia di Fico. We look forward to returning soon. ”
