Myself and my partner were visiting from Melbourne and found this beauty tucked away. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Some of the best Italian food Ive had in a long time! Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was really buzzing on a Friday night. We will be dreaming of the Mordeo lasagna all the way in Melbourne!

We were hosted by Mordeo for our office Melbourne Cup event and we can safely say that we could not be happier with our choice. From the moment we made the online booking onwards everything was perfect. The setting was fun and upscale, the food was amazing, the service impeccable. Our team had a great afternoon at Mordeo and we will definitely book this venue for future events.

My friend and I both LOVED our Friday dinner at Mordeo! We each had entree / main / dessert + a cocktail, and our expectations were exceeded on entrees and mains. We had :
- the melted cheese + the chorizo croquettes for entrees
- the steak of the day with smoked potatoe mash (OMG that's my discovery of they month, it was incredible!!!) and the mushroom raviolis (I could go back just for this baby!) for mains
- creme brulee + chocolate cake for desserts.
Desserts were really tasty. Loved the creaminess of the creme brulee, and the mascarpone cream was great with the chocolate cake.

The place is nice and it is a mix between inside and outside. There are 2 different areas, one which is more casual for drinks and another one more designed for the restaurant. The food was quite disappointed in terms of taste even if quantities were really ok. The waiters were nice but wrongly answered our questions on the meals.
