100% Please note: The reviews below are more than 12 months old. Member Review by GarySubmitted December, 2007 As good as I heard? I had heard that this was a place to get excellent food near Geelong, and so I booked our little group in to try it out.
It's not what you would expect in a very ordinary 'suburb of a regional centre' shopping strip- one of these glitzy-style urban bistros next door to the pizza place.
The food was exquisite: a tasting plate with vegetable frittata, chicken in filo and prawns in chili-tomato sauce that would equal any fine Italian restaurant in the big smoke. Mains like duck and belly pork that would beat places that charge nearly double what Cucina One12 charges. Desserts stood up well also.
The wine list includes some locals, and is shorter than it could be- though we found something to go with each course. And the coffee was okay for a regional area.
Then we get to the bizarre service; as though there was no idea of what it means to provide a 'dining experience'. Having to ask for the same thing more than once; having the wrong wine opened before it reached the table; and a table-manner less then 'food court' standards. And the clatter from the noisy pizza oven next door was pretty awful over the top of the piped music.
Would I go back? Yes, but not for the big 'three course outing.' Worth eating at, but not a big night out. Over the line for an eating recommendation.
