Tiamo, a classic Italian eatery located in Carlton, offers authentic and delicious Italian cuisine at an affordable price. The establishment boasts both indoor and outdoor seating areas with a cool interior design that exudes a casual and friendly atmosphere. While the service can be hit or miss, the food is consistently good, with vegetarian and vegan options available.
Some of the standout dishes include the truffle tortellini, mushroom pizza, and linguine al vongole. The wine list is impressive, with a Puglia Zinfandel blend being a steal at $31 for a 500ml carafe. For those who prefer cocktails or soft drinks, Tiamo has a decent selection to choose from.
Overall, Tiamo is a must-visit place for anyone looking for a true Italian dining experience in Melbourne. It may not have white starched tablecloths or candles, but it more than makes up for it with its authentic flavors and huge servings. Whether you're looking for a quick dinner before a movie at the Nova or a family gathering, Tiamo is the perfect spot.
Been coming here for years. With so much change in the hospitality industry it’s nice to see an original like this survive through all of the challenges businesses face. Ate here again tonight and wasn’t disappointed, traditional home style Italian menu. The staff are friendly and attentive. An authentic Lygon st experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Our meals were not hot and the service was lazy, we had to ask to order, for cutlery and for bread. And they were charging 10% surcharge for the weekend which we only found in small print at the bottom of one page on their menu. We have been going to Tiamos for 15 years and we went last night for my son’s birthday and unfortunately this time we will not be hurrying back.
