Italian Chef is a new Italian place in South Yarra on Chapel st. They have just opened last year and they have featured in a few Italian festivals and Gusto Italiano event. This event is a special one celebrating all things Italian. Now you cannot not have wine when you are having a meal. So of course we order wine there.
Tuesday nights is when they have their $13 pizza nights which their pizzas are huge. But it wasn't very busy on Tuesday night at 6:30pm when we came. So there was not much of a reason to book. The service was a bit slow but friendly and the cellar room downstairs was really intimate. They have a lot of wines on offer.
And because it is truffle season here in Melbourne we had to have the truffle pizza which is normally $25 because truffle is expensive here. The truffle tastes a lot like mushrooms and the flavour was really subtle. This was really great with the red wine that we had. Red wine is good for a cold winter's night and it is great with all sorts of pizza.
The pizza was a thin crust one and it was lukewarm. Luckily there was no meat on this.
For dessert I had their homemade Italian ice cream which was nice and creamy. As the Italians would say "Who would say no to dessert"" we did not.
Rating: 13/20- can't complain unless we had to pay full price for the pizza. The other table's meals looked good and they brought out complimentary canapes for the other table with their drinks and I came within the Happy hour of 4pm-7pm.
