Tono On Borsari

The food is very, very delicious! The taste is authentic of an Italian handmade food. The restaurant exceeded my expectations. It was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to in Melbourne. There are options for pastas, gnocchi, risottos, pizzas, steaks and etc. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere and staff are pleasant. I will definitely go back many times.

Honestly, I'm trying to find something nice to say about the food we ordered (can't speak for the other items on the menu) but after about 24 hours of reflection, I'm struggling. We ordered a small Hawaiian pizza, napoletana penne and a creamy mushroom fettuccine. Ok first off, though average, I'm glad we ordered the pizza because I couldn't eat much of anything else. The napoletana was super salty and penne overcooked. The creamy mushroom fettucine was the worst I've had in my life, and I've had a lot of al funghi pastas in my life. The sauce tasted like water with a dash of milk, raw garlic and cornstarch, and the fettuccine was thick and overcooked to the point where there were dints in the pasta. It looked like a kid had made it out of play dough tbh. To top it off, both of the pasta dishes came with a single leaf of spinach instead of basil, which was the cherry on top, really. 🍒 Sorry, but if you're gonna call yourself an Italian restaurant, please do better.

Very bad and awkward service and food was horrible.. marinara spaghetti tasted EXACTLY likepre-made sauce from can and pre-mixed seafood from woolies - not fresh at all. Spaghetti was so soft, way over-cooked... Steak was very tough and the sauce tasted like pre-made sauce. Definitely not going back again, especially for the expensive prices on the menu - you can get way better food on Lygon for your buck.

Just had a lovely spaghetti ragu with a glass of wine here, for the second time in as many weeks. The house made pasta was Al Dente & the ragu tasted amazingly good 👍 Topped off with a decent glass of red wine we were very happy. We found some of the other negative reviews on here quite amusing - perhaps they came for dinner at peak time and didn’t like the long wait? Late on Sunday night is the perfect time, plenty of tables, fast friendly service from a family restaurant that clearly loves what they do…

Veal prosciutto amd creams sauce 38 approx Past polling chicken cream spaghetti 25 Bottle of red cab sav 55 Food was ok Service wasn't as good as it should be, saw 2 to 3 people walk out while waiting for a waiter. Lighting is quite dark. Needs improvement overall and not impressed probably wouldn't come back.

STAY AWAY!!!!! Went here as it was the first place we saw and were starving! Wish we had have ignored the promise of ‘free fresh homemade garlic bread’,( which was obviously store bought frozen). If these people are Italian, they ought to be utterly ashamed of themselves!! The pasta was the WORSE I have ever had!! It tasted like those ready made pastas in the box, but worse if u can imagine!! The carbonara sauce tasted funky and was full of just bacon fat!i had 2 mouthfuls and honest to god, wanted to gag. Everything was wrong with it, it was like I was in that Kitchen nightmares show with Gordon Ramsey. They try to put any customers out front so it looks busy, u walk in and it’s dead and dead for a very good reason! The waiters r standing around doing nothing, just watching you stare at ur disgusting meal. I only leave reviews if a place is very good, or if it’s very bad! This place is just beyond bad! How do u make pasta soooo utterly disgusting! I will remember this dish for a long time to come. For all the wrong reasons. Never again will I go anywhere without reading reviews!
