Rossini Bistro Pizza & Pasta

A true Malvern institution. Family-run, unapologetically traditional, and pouring out serious trattoria charm. Glenferrie Road’s dedicated carb-loaders consider this cozy dining room an absolute fixture for a reason—the kitchen doesn't mess around. Massive, generous bowls of pasta hit the table perfectly al dente, while the pizzas boast a brilliantly light, fluffy base with that ideal crispy edge. Think towering lasagna, rich cheese gnocchi, and the signature Rossini pie. It’s fully licensed, but brilliantly BYO-friendly for those bringing a special vintage. Snag a table in the back for a moody, private feast. Grab a glass of red, dig into those notoriously hefty portions, and soak up the warm, bustling hospitality. Mangia bene.
