Cugini's Fitzroy

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Cugini's. The antipasto platter was copious and the generous serving of osso bucco pasta was delicious. We finished with a lovely tiramisu. A great meal, with excellent service, and a real bargain with the Fork discount.

The quality of the pasta and of the pizza is top notch, it compares very well to the best places in Italy (I myself am Italian). The prices are good, in line with the Melbourne standard, and they become a bargain if you have a discount with The Fork. The portion size is good, a pasta dish or a pizza is enough to fill you (unless you are very very hungry, I guess). The restaurant is rustic, you should not come here looking for a fancy fine dining experience, but that is probably clear from the website and overall vibe of the place. I would be happy to come back!

We enjoyed our dinner at Cugini's. We started with the antipasto platter, which was such a generous serve that we didn't really need the other two courses. The pizza and pasta we ordered were also copious, so we decided we could not handle any dessert.

The food is just like mamas ! My parents came from Calabria , the pastas are authentic Italian flavors, the pizzas also are flavorsome, the pizza dough proved well, many places out there are not even close to these flavors keep up he good work ! we will be back, ciao

My friend and I came to Cugini’s for dinner on Wednesday night!We shared 2 gluten free pizzas and they were absolutely delicious - likely one of the best gf pizza bases I’ve had. Although probably could’ve had a little more cheese on top to secure the toppings.The staff were very friendly and venue looks very cute. We were very lucky to get the discount via the fork, but either way, I’d likely come back to try some of their other dishes!
