"Loved the panacotta"

"The pizza here has always been consistently good. But to our surprise, the desserts were excellent too! Do yourself a favour..and leave some room for a dessert..or two."

"A delightful sit in experience. Our waiter was very attentive despite the fact it was a very busy Monday night. Ravioli, pizza, meatballs, pasta and desserts were all very much enjoyed and appreciated. Highly recommended."

"We got the Badabing. It was cooked perfectly. Fries were deliciously seasoned. Friendly staff and great service. The place gets really loud, the tables too close to one another and difficult to hear."

"Had a really good takeaway puttanesca pizza. Took about 10 minutes from order to delivery. Very well-made thin crust pizza."

"Incredibly well done simple Italian food! Could have easily enjoyed every thing on the menu. Had some good wines as well!"

"Super tasty gluten free pizza with vegan cheese! Hard to nail, and they did it. Had the salami, they aren’t stingy with the salami! Loved the calamari as well. Super tender not chewy at all, tasty as and the aioli plus lemon go so well with it…. And it’s gluten free! The chilli oil which is home made was soooo good too. Would defs come back"

"Best pizza in Melbourne"

"I first visited Ladro when they opened 15 years ago and they had the best pizzas in Melbourne. On my return 15 years later they are still going strong! Good pizza and pasta menu with gluten free options on the pizza. Good drinks menu and friendly service. Pizzas are woodfired traditional and very thin base. Simple toppings with good flavour. There are better pizzas around now, but you still won't be disappointed here"

"Recently organized a conference dinner for 70 people at Ladro On Gertrude. Wanted to say a big thank you to the team. The food was excellent and plentiful, various dietary requirements were met, the staff were friendly and efficient, everyone was happy."
