Charmingly rustic and authentically Italian, Nat’s Place lays claim to the best Italian cuisine and wood fired pizza in Bundoora. Tables laid with red and white checkered cloths and softly glowing candles greet you inside this smart-casual ristorante along with the sounds of Sinatra and the mouth-watering smells of baking bread. Attentive staff help keep the experience personalised and seasonal dishes are, in typical Italian fashion, generous in size and flavour. Among the options might be homemade fettuccine tossed with fresh mussels, calamari, tiger prawns and pippies in a garlic butter, white wine and napolitana sauce. Be sure to save room for tempting crepes and desserts such as housemade steamed chocolate pudding topped with rich chocolate fudge, ice-cream and whipped cream.
