Lamarro's Hotel

Beautiful hotel, atmosphere was very nice, and the service was great. Food was beautiful, although I didn't really fancy the King Grilled Prawn Spaghettini. I feel it lacked flavour. The twice cooked octopus and the veal schnitzel are a must. The schnitzel was huge !!! Would definitely recommend this place and am looking forward to visiting again.

We came for Wednesday dinner service and it was busy! The waiter told us they can sit us in but the table must be cleared within the hour for other bookings which shows how popular this place is. The food offering is mainly Italian dishes and steaks with few asian twists. We ordered the salumi Board, linguine and beef burger. Except for the burger which is only average, the other two dishes are great. Especially the linguine as the sauce doesn't taste like your traditional Italian pasta. Price is definitely higher than your typical pub pricing. Food - 8 Service - 9 Vibe - 7 Price - $$$

Not your average Melbourne's pub ... Impressively restored old pub ... from the minute you walked in ... you can feel the warmth and grace in modernly restoring this old pub ... dominant white marble bar, dark timber ... yes, don't worry, Gents, there are plenty of faltscreen TVs with sports on ... even on a Thursday night ... no rowdy crowd, just a pleasant ambience and good vibes. The menu complements this modernly restored gastro-pub ... not your typical pub menu ... I'm not a salad person (sorry Mami), but I did enjoy that Red & Yellow beetroot salad, with presentation to match👌 more importantly, their famed schnitzel ... not to my liking, but generously served $44.00 ... 4/5 ... my perfectly cooked medium-rare 300 gms scotch was good $56.00, and the most impressive was their pepper sauce ... that was divine! Thank you Chef ... Drink wise ... a book FULL of alcoholic drinks ... I started with the O'Leary's Riesling ... and if I didn't have to drive, I could surely enjoy a few more of that Voyager Estate Cab Sauvignon ... went down well with my scotch fillet ... Just don't wear Fred Perry dark blue shirt when dining here 😊 ... you could be mistakenly taken as one of the wait-team ... they look smart, vibrant, attentive, and very pleasant, kudos to the team. Thank you and I'm sure we'll be back ...

I attended in a group and we had booked to sit outside, not knowing that it would be a cold and rainy night in Dec. The staff were great and couldn't do enough for us. I had prawn linguine which was delicious. I received 3x very large prawns with this dish. These were yum and enormous! The others in the group enjoyed their meals and we all had a good experience. It is a lovely spot to sit outside and enjoy beautiful South Melbourne.

Very nice! The free bread came warm and tasted amazing. Not sure if that's just my love of bread, but I think it was great. I don't normally like scallops, but the scallop entree was amazing. All the flavours complimented each other and it was delicious. The sourdough crostini was a little odd, but that's just because I'm not a fan of anchovies. The goats cheese did cut through that strength so it was alright. I ordered the steak for the main and it was perfect for me. I wish there was a mushroom sauce, but I can't complain too much over the Diane sauce. Some complimenting salad would have looked better on the plate, but overall it was great! I should have ordered the pudding for dessert. It was delicious! The brandy snap basket with ice cream/sorbet was still great, just not as good as the taste I had of the pudding! Service was also amazing. Very attentive and friendly!

The BEST spot in South Melbourne! 🥇 Lamaro’s is the best - a great fit out and such yummy food! I have been here many many times and always gets the veal schnitzel and scallops - they are the best I’ve had in Melbourne 😍 Lamaro’s is a great dinner spot because you can have a delicious dinner then move into their bar area for drinks and fun after. The owner Paul Dimattina is so lovely and welcomes guests personally. Definitely one of my top spots in Melbourne and will be back soon! 🍺🥂
