Why it's worth checking out
Vaporetto Bar & Eatery sits on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, one of Melbourne's well-heeled inner-eastern suburbs, tucked behind the historic Lido cinema. A long-running Italian restaurant and bar, it's built a loyal following on a busy strip lined with shops, cafes and the nearby train station.
The appeal is that combination of warm, generous Italian cooking and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — ideal for a meal before or after a film at the Lido, a catch-up over a glass of wine, or a casual dinner out. In an area with plenty of dining options, longevity and a steady following speak to a venue that delivers consistently.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark with locals. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Glenferrie Road spot fills up on weekends and around cinema sessions, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're pairing dinner with a movie or heading out with a group.
