Café Florentino, formerly known as the Grill, marks a return to the restaurant’s origins and the name under which it first opened in 1928. While honouring this legacy, Café Florentino stands as a distinct destination within the precinct.
Inspired by the great Tuscan trattorias and bistecca alla Fiorentina restaurants, wood-fired and charcoal flavours are at the heart of the experience, showcasing the best Australian meats and seafood. From house-made pasta to seasonal produce sourced from small-scale Victorian farms, the offering is generous yet considered. The result is a refined but relaxed dining experience, equally suited to quick or lingering business lunches, family nights out, and easy pre- or post-theatre dining.
