★★★★★“Bianchetto is one of those places that immediately wraps you in atmosphere — it feels like a secret you’ve just been let in on. We started here for pre-dinner drinks and it completely set the tone for the evening. The lighting is moody and elegant, the music was perfectly chosen, and the whole space has this effortlessly stylish energy without trying too hard. We ordered cocktails (expertly made — mine had a touch of citrus and something herbaceous that was so refreshing), plus some small bites — the olives were the perfect snack with our drinks, and the oysters were fresh, briny, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and made us feel like regulars — offering recommendations without pressure and genuinely creating a relaxed, welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place you could easily start the night or settle into for hours. Next time, we might even linger a little longer before heading to dinner — but the best part is, Mr Bianco is just next door.”

★★★★★“Tucked in Kew Bianco Bar is a softly lit, intimate space perfect for date night. The vibe is warm and inviting, with a menu inspired by Sicilian flavors, offering everything from small snacks to hearty mains. Some standout dishes you won’t want to miss: • The olives infused with cinnamon vermouth—a unique twist that adds warmth and depth. • The beef carpaccio, hands down one of the best we’ve ever had—beautifully seasoned with Mediterranean spices and topped with glazed nuts for that perfect crunch. • The duck gnocchi, rich and comforting, is a must-try from the entrée list. And for dessert lovers like me, don’t skip their signature tray-served tiramisu—it’s as indulgent as it sounds! Definitely coming back!!”

★★★★★“Moving to Melbourne from London we missed having a local cocktail bar that served up classic cocktails. We were so thrilled when we visited Bianchetto. And have since frequented and love being served by Marco who is an excellent mixologist. He will make you classic cocktails, but also mix up something to your taste. Honestly Bianchetto is top tier!”
