Il Caminetto - Moonee Ponds

Apart from the fact that the manager is a Lazio supporter, I love the vibe, service and food. Especially the Roman style dishes. Forza Roma.

Il Caminetto is a local Moonee Ponds Italian eatery offering authentic and homemade dishes at a reasonable price. The menu has a huge variety of starters, mains, sides, desserts and even simpler options for kids.

Once upon a time, local pizza dining entailed a run to one of the chains (you know which ones) or the local takeaway store for a family-sized, greasy pizza. Pineapples and all. The food scene around Melbourne suburbia has since evolved quite a bit, and there are now several eateries which offer quality wood fired pizzas. I’ve always been a fan of the chewy bites and the gorgeous char imparted from a wood fired oven since my first bite at +39 Pizzeria however many years ago, so I’m quite stoked that I can now get my hands on a wood fired pizza without a trek into the city or beyond. Enter Il Caminetto in Moonee Ponds, a mere ten minutes drive from home.

Seeming Italian is not just about the accents… although it certainly helps. Il Caminetto is an authentic pizzeria and pasta bar on Pascoe Vale Road, Moonee Ponds. It is relaxed, but clean. Casual, but stylish. Great for kids, or couple wanting something romantic. Really it seems Il Caminetto ticks all the right boxes.

It’s Il Caminetto’s clear passion for food and great service, in a casual but welcoming setting, which is what makes it the new fave. Value for Money: 4/5. Verdict: The New Fave – put it as number 1 on the to do. The New Fave dined courtesy of Il Caminetto. Post Comments (Atom)
