  • To University Cafe 
Renowned for its good Italian home-cooking, the Universita is a long-established and very popular restaurant on the Lygon Street strip. Downstairs you can enjoy a great coffee and a fabulous bowl of pasta or risotto while watching the parade of locals, tourists and academics go by. Upstairs is a cosier, relaxed atmosphere where you can dine on traditional Italian favourites. The fact that Universita remains one of Melbourne's most frequented Italian restaurants speaks volumes.

    Long standing & deserving of it's well received position within the Lygon Street dining fraternity, The University Cafe offers good coffee's, traditional food, friendly service & decent prices. It can't have survived this long without doing a thing or two right & I reckon The University Cafe does most of it well!

    The Universita Cafe offers a great range of Italian food. I have dined here several times, and have never been disappointed. If you are after a quick coffee and meal, eat downstairs. However, if you want a more relaxed meal, upstairs is the place to be. The food is fabulous, and even the entrees are often large enough to satisfy someone's hunger.

    Great restaurant that we often go to of we are around and about the city and surrounds. The food is always very high quality and well priced. The coffee there is one of the best in Melbourne and the staff are always very friendly. Great place for tourists to visit as well, just sitting back and taking in the best of Melbourne.
