Cafe Corretto is an Italian restaurant located in the middle of Little Italy, an area of Melbourne renowned for its restaurants with Italian heritage. It was a Friday night and we were starving. Our craving for good food was further fueled by alcohol. Wandering the streets like a couple of hungry wolves, we stumbled upon this little cafe, Cafe Correto. The place looked great, and it felt Italian. You can tell that everything including the tables, chairs, lighting, and the decorations were carefully selected to set the mood of the restaurant unapologetically naff. It was 8pm and almost every 
table was full. The service here was quick and friendly. We were seated right away, and shortly after our orders were taken. The prices here are higher than your average takeaways. You can expect to pay from $15 - 35 (AUD) for a main dish.

We ordered clam fettuccine and shrimp risotto. The food portions were reasonable, not too stingy but also enough to satisfy even those that are starving (and missed their lunch!). It all tasted amazing. Probably the finest food I've tasted so far in Melbourne. Even though the place was packed full, our meals arrived in only 20 minutes too. I think besides being a bit pricey this place pushes all the right buttons for me, and I would love to come back here again.
