This âupmarketâ Italian restaurant is tucked away in a commercial precinct, not far from Brandon Park shopping centre.The best thing is: parking is not a problem! At least, not on the Saturday when we visited for a family birthday celebration.The white table cloths and napkins add a certain âje ne sais quoiâ to the place: as waiter extraordinarie, Nikolas, expertly rolls and folds your napkin during your absence from the table!Nikolas was so very patient with our table - especially a 90 year old mother who likes to make difficult for everyone these days!The menu is very different from ârun of the millâ Italian restaurants and is a little on the adventurous side. A case in point is the swordfish two of us ordered: it was rare in the middle. As someone who only has well done steak, hamburgers - and salmon - I was quite taken aback that it was not cooked through. Upon being informed this was how ppl like swordfish to be cooked - I said that I would have liked to have been asked how I would like it cooked. Nikolas agreed to take my comment on board. But, as a baby boomer Iâve been around a while(!) and have travelled quite a bit and have eaten at a lot of restaurants in Australia and overseas - and I have never encountered âmedium rareâ swordfish before. It also means the fish is quite âtoughâ to eat - but admittedly, this was a very thick, generous piece.Be warned: Sette Bello is no cheap Italian. Main courses cost around $38 - while steak was $46. The pasta dishes are only marginally cheaper. The sides are $9 each - but the French fries were the best Iâve tasted!Desserts are around $16 each - but I highly recommend the lemon ricotta-filled cannoli at $4.50 each. We ordered 2 between 4 ppl and had trouble finishing it although it was delicious.Coffee was great, too!The restaurant had a lovely ambience - and thatâs mainly because the wait staff are so welcome and obliging. This Saturday lunch time was very busy - with ppl coming at various times in the lunchtime period.

We have had the worst news this restaurant cancelled our Christmas lunch booking by email 3 days before Christmas . This was to be our first Christmas lunch without my mum and out in a restaurant . We have dined here intermittently over the years but will never go there again now. I don't understand how they could do that to us their customers . We could not get in anywhere at such late notice. I was very annoyed at their lack of customer service lack of care for their customers. We will never go back .
3. Big Mama's Pizza

I bought a pizza and a pasta, the pizza had minimal toppings for the expensive price, and was bland the base was undercooked and detracted from the taste, the pasta was reheated in a microwave and was not very nice my son said it was overpowered by the amount of garlic used.would l go again no I wouldnt

Visited twice and found service to be erratic, with 1 missed meal and 1 wrong meal, long service time. The food however was good, large servings and tasty. Popular cafe with outdoor and indoor seating. Would go again next visit to Melbourne.
