One of my favourite little bars and restaurants in St Kilda. They don't take reservations, so settle into the back bar (access via the side laneway) while waiting for a table. Italian-Australian food.

Perfect lunch spot on a warm sunny day. Service is so-so, food is basic, but who cares when lazing in a deck chair with sand b/n the toes. This section of beach is a dog-off-leash area. Mine loves it!
