Established in 1996, Italy 1 has maintained a firm focus on serving high quality Italian food that takes advantage of the freshest and seasonal produce available. Darren Venn completed his chef apprenticeship at Italy 1 in the late 1990s, then in 2006, he took on the role of Executive Chef at the Camberwell venue.
The Italy 1 menu is produce driven and Darren's passion for Italian cuisine is one that has endured. Menu changes occur seasonally, but several staple dishes always remain, like the very popular linguine marinara. Italy 1 also has an extensive Italian wine list which showcases some of the best Italian varieties.

With Risotto this good, I’m not sure why they serve anything else.
Had the scallop entrée and it was really delicious. The textures were really great with the soft scallop and the crispy bits on top. Calamari was nice, nothing to write home about.
The risotto though was delectable. Excellent balance of creaminess and a tinge of spice. The seafood tasted very fresh too and proportion was even.
Will definitely return to try the duck risotto 👌🏼

Good food, good ambience, very good for large groups.. My suggestion would to be to take a look at the menu before going, otherwise you would most probably end up with quite a bit of queries.. (maybe i am not too familiar with Italian cuisine /menu). Tip.. If you are going for the fish of the day, do remember to order sides along with it, as the dish itself will have a rather small piece of barramnundi. Staff: friendly and courteous.. Was fun to interact with them.. Overall.. An excellent restaurant!
