City Restaurants: Where To Eat In Melbourne's CBD (Central Business District)

What is it? A hand-made pasta bar in the CBD without the long queues

Why go there? Lello flies under the radar, so you can get your fill of vincigrassi (their signature lasagne enriched with sweetbreads and brains), chestnut casarecce or the gut-busting, carb-on-carb culurgiones (a Sardinian potato-filled pasta) without having to stand in line. How refreshing. Don't worry, they don't just serve pasta. Dishes like their barbecued calamari and a poached and fried artichoke served with a thickened egg and lemon sauce punch just as hard as their pasta counterparts.
