Cafe Andiamo - Melbourne

3.8 out of 5. <br/ <br/ This is an iconic Degraves Street cafe by now, I suppose. It’s well known and well regarded. It was mighty chilly mid morning in the Melbourne CBD, 6 degrees C with an evil breeze wafting in between the tall buildings. Coat, scarf and gloves weather. It was time to get refuge when I spotted Cafe Andiamo. It was lovely, warm and toasty inside. The compact cafe had a really nice buzz too. The coffee is very good here top class in fact and it warmed me up a treat and delighted my tastebuds. The menu looked good with the usual brekkie standards and numerous Italian style dishes. There’s plenty of choice here for everyone. The food coming out looked a little bit prosaic though but then again that might be me mistaking looks for substance. Service was quick, efficient and friendly. <br/ <br/ This is a good solid Melbourne cafe is my overall impression.

It’s delicious, but definitely not a real carbonara. <br/ I tried the linguine carbonara and the taste was really good, the pasta was “al dente”. But let just say it wasn’t a carbonara, there wasn’t even a black pepper in there. But for a pasta, it was good <br/

So many places to choose from on Degraves Street, and most have very similar menus. Andiamo won out as they had one table left outside, but it was a good choice regardless.We both chose the lamb salad, and it was simple yet delicious. Not enough dressing initially, but that was quickly put right with olive oil balsamic provided on the table.The house Shiraz garlic bread were also good

Amazing food. Prompt, friendly and helpful service. Server's recommendation for coffee was great my new favourite drink. Perfect place for a date. Will come back to try more dishes in the future. Dining area was slightly cramped but overall a great cafe/restaurant.

After a debacle at another cafe around the corner I saw this cafe and decided to give it a go. <br/ <br/ The cafe was absolutely buzzing, really busy but despite that I was served immediately. Thanks to the owners for their outstanding service. <br/ <br/ I ordered a strong skinny latte and I was charged $3.50 w no extra payment for an extra shot. Perfect. <br/ <br/ My coffee had a good froth, it wasn’t too hot so I could drink it straight away and the flavour was really nice. <br/ <br/ I didn’t have to wait long for my take away, maybe a minute.<br/ <br/ <br/ OMGosh this is my new favourite coffee shop in the city at the moment. This place is definitely worth a visit! Enjoy your weekend everyone :
