Il Tempo

Amidst the bustle of Melbourne CBD, Il Tempo traces its heartbeat back forty years to a quaint Italian town and a cosy family dining room. Today, Nonna’s cherished recipes bridge generations, anchoring a city kitchen devoted to honest, soulful flavours.

The menu showcases the classic spaghetti alla carbonara and rigatoni tossed with a slow-cooked lamb ragù. From the oven, margherita and prosciutto pizzas arrive vibrant with tomato, alongside a decadent funghi and tartufo topped with mushrooms, pork sausage, and truffle cream.

Enjoy crisp comfort in the form of arancini, or the creamy lightness of burrata served with cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, and crunchy focaccia. For dolci, diners can enjoy a traditional affogato or tiramisu, or opt for a modern twist: tiramisu layered with pistachio mascarpone and crumbed pistachios.

Il Tempo celebrates unhurried dining and the warmth of a home kitchen, reimagined for the city’s pace. It is a place where conversations linger, and the food tells the story, one faithful recipe at a time.
