Food scene
Melbourne's home of Italian restaurants. my favourites are D.O.C for authentic Italian (D.O.C espresso for pasta on Lygon St, or the original for pizza around the corner on Faraday St), Agostino for a fancy meal, Tiamo for old school Italian or Johnnys Green Room for bar snacks with an amazing city view
