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.

With many restaurants booked out this time of the year we decided to go to Pescare and fortunately they had a table for the 4 of us. The appetisers of bruschetta and mixed dips were nice although the dips could have had more taste. The bread though was very nice. I asked what fish they use for fish and chips. It happened to be flathead, my favourite for fish and chips. This happened to be an excellent choice. the hippies were good and the fish was cooked to perfection. Still moist on the inside and very tasty. The salad and chicken of our companions were also good and all the serves were generous. We choose an Italian Pinot Grigio with our meal and this was great, well worth the $ 40 we paid for it. Finally, the service could not be faulted. Very nice young people who worked hard to add to our great dining experience. We'll be happy to come back here. Parking though is hard to find on a busy Friday night in this area. So take your time.

We dined here in late May for dinner. My understanding is that there has been a few management issues just recently which has had an impact on the total experience at Fedeleâs.However the staff on the night were very friendly and helpful and the food was very good.There isnât a large menu but we didnât have any trouble finding something that we wanted to try. The duck was excellent and so were the pastas. We didnât try the desserts as we were too full!Ignore the previous bad reviews- the ongoing staff are really doing their best to make you want to return. We will.Thank you so much for your feedback, we are really glad that the change is noticeable. We are doing our best to return to the excellent levels of service which our guests were used to in past times. We look forward to see you again soon. Thank you, Jacqui.

I m not a european (french or italian ) but will testify the food is good for the prices they charge. We had pizza, schnitzel veal, chicken parmagina and seafood combo with staters or desserts and the bill is about $27 per head. restaurant was near full on sat and if it was mediocre or bad, the numbers of patrons do not support that .Overall , satisfied we did not have to go downtown for our italian food craving this evening As for service, if you donât intend to tip, it will not warrant any complaint! if you ard in the USA, you have to at the least 10-15% for the attentiveness and smiles you seek !
