Venetian Heritage in the Heart of the CBD
The story of Da Guido 365 is grounded in real European history. Drawing its inspiration and recipes directly from the original, highly acclaimed Da Guido restaurant just outside Venice, the Melbourne dining room operates with an unwavering commitment to quality:
Made Fresh Daily: The kitchen team rolls and cuts their signature fresh pasta by hand every single day, preserving techniques passed down through generations.
Fresh & Seasonal Produce: The menu balances prime imported Italian specialty items with the absolute best seasonal produce Victoria has to offer.
Authentic Wood-Fired Craft: Alongside hand-rolled pasta, their authentic wood-fired pizzas feature light, airy dough stretched thin and cooked to crisp perfection.
What to Savour on a Progressive Itinerary
Whether your private group is stopping by for a long lunch or an ambient evening dinner, the menu offers a masterclass in clean, traditional Italian flavours:
Handmade Pasta Excellence: From rich wagyu beef ravioli tossed gently in refined butter and rosemary to classic Spaghettoni alla Carbonara with crispy guanciale, every pasta dish showcases flawless texture.
Wood-Fired Pizza Favourites: The signature white-base pizzas pair creamy buffalo mozzarella with earthy porcini mushrooms, pancetta, and a luxurious touch of truffle cream.
Warm, Rustic Ambience: The exposed brick walls, timber accents, and soft lighting make it an ideal sanctuary for lively group conversations over shared dishes.
