Casual beachfront Italian meets the St Kilda foreshore, stripped of stiff formality and made for unhurried seaside dining. Ground-floor tables look right out over the bay as the afternoon rolls into dusk. Diners lean in over bowls of spaghetti tossed with crab, garlic, and chilli, or share charcoal-blistered octopus skewers beside plates of calamari marinara.

Out on the promenade, the energy stays effortlessly easygoing while the floor team keeps pace with everything from family coloring books to lingering afternoon spritzes.
