Very crap! Service was poor missed out on one of our meals. Nearly had to throw a glass at someone to get a second drink, but just gave up in the end, paid and went home. Really poor service and food. Would not recommend.

I won't be going back anytime soon unfortunately. Pathetic potion sizes on the pumpkin ravioli. We were told they didn't have enough to make a main and an entree so we ended up requesting just one main. What came out was a sad excuse for a main. They justified it by stating it was "expensive to make" ... If that's the case maybe state on your menu it's one quarter the size of other mains. I'd hate to think what you got with the entree. Forgot one meal and drink for another person. Others had cold meals. Very average and nothing like the tosolini's I've been to in the past. Service was average and

Average food mixed with average service. Some meals came out cold, some didn't come out at all. Serving sizes are pretty pathetic. Garlic bread half burnt. Main sizes that wouldn't even fill a child up.

Tasteless, overpriced and average service.
Ordered the selection of breads to share for entre which was average.
Had a seafood risotto for main which was tasteless and unseasoned. Had to request salt and pepper to be brought to the table to give some taste to my meal. Seafood was overcooked in the risotto. The prawns and Calamari was rubbery and the fish (2 very small pieces) was dry. Minimal seafood for a seafood risotto.
Did finish with dessert which was large servings and reasonable cost. Would only return for a dessert after eating a more pleasant meal elsewhere.

After reading the other reviews on here I was under the impression I was going to have a terrible dinner, or only the people that had a bad time bothered to post a review.. First impressions were good, my girlfriend and I were greeted by a happy staff member and then served by an even more pleasant waiter.. I ordered a campari spritz with my Spaghetti alla Marinara and a moment later the bar tender was at my table personally asking me how I wanted my spritz!, sweet white or prosecco etc.. i turned out to be one of the best I've ever had, spot on to what I've had in Italy. The Marinara was great

Went with a group from work, service was slow, food was ordinary and way over priced for what we got. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I went Tosolini's this morning as was rewarded the "best breakfast" in Canberra... must say I was extremely disappointed!! First of all they do not have any single piece of fruit on the menu, how comes the best breakfast does not include any kind of fruits? Second, the green tea was a very small pot and not good at all. I ordered brown toast with jam and they charged me the jam separately, unbelievable!! first place where they charged me the jam separately... and the toast was not cheap at all, crazy ehh?? Finally, when I went to pay, they do not accept credit card transactions under 20 AUD and
