About Fratellino

Fratellino turns out crisp, non-oily wood-fired pizzas with generous toppings right off the tram line on Malvern Road. Regulars flock to this bustling South Yarra staple for thin-crusted pies—like the pork sausage Salsicce e Funghi—pulled straight from the open flame. You can BYO your favourite bottle of wine for minimal corkage, pair it with tender calamari or fresh pasta, and settle into the energetic room.

  • Wood-fired thin crusts: Crisp, thin bases baked in an open wood-fired oven without excess oil, loaded with balanced toppings.
  • BYO wine friendly: Diners can bring their own wine to pair with pizzas and pasta at an affordable corkage rate.
  • Casual group dining: Generous pasta plates, fresh salads, and shareable pizzas suited for easy group catch-ups.
