About Mister Margherita Italian Restaurant South Melbourne

This cozy Park Street spot pairs thin, blistered-crust pizzas and rich bowls of pasta with genuine neighbourhood warmth. Steps from the tram, owner Sam works the dining room while the kitchen sends out crisp pies topped with salty pancetta or garlic-seared prawns. Regulars lean into the al dente carbonara alongside cheesy focaccia, lingering over a glass of wine during the early evening pour before sharing a slice of sticky date pudding.

  • Hands-On Hospitality: Owner Sam actively greets tables and oversees the floor, creating an unpretentious neighbourhood feel.
  • Crisp Thin-Crust Dough: Pizzas emerge with a light, crisp crust, complemented by a dedicated gluten-free base option.
  • Early Evening Happy Hour: Between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, early diners can pair rich pastas with discounted glasses of wine.
