The food here is the best ever in Melbourne! It’s a family run business with a beautiful chef, Chef Domenico who carefully curates the menu and uses locally sourced and home grown ingredients in their food which amplifies the taste even better! The staff are lovely as well, especially JJ!

Lovely place. Vegan options are absolutely delicious. I ordered the vegan arancini as my started however it was not served with sauce, asked our server who happily accommodated. Loved it. Enjoyed the truffle oil wood oven vegan pizza. It was delicious. Thank you for stepping out of the box from the boring veggi only pizza, we often have as a choice offer. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Food arrival was quiet quickly. Pricing is a little more, well worth it in my option. Easy to get to, parking can be a challenge as it’s street parking only. The time we attended we found parking right outside the Resturant. Lucky, defiantly.

Five-Star Food Experience! From the first bite to the last, this was an unforgettable culinary experience. Every dish was beautifully presented, bursting with fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced in flavor. You can truly taste the care and passion that goes into every recipe. The standout for me was the pizza and pasta a masterpiece of texture, aroma, and taste that left me wanting more. Even the sides and sauces were meticulously crafted. Dessert was the perfect finale—rich, satisfying, and not overly sweet. Service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall pleasure of the meal. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just treating yourself, this place is a must-visit. A true gem in the food scene—I can’t wait to return!

I can’t believe we got a table, tempo has the quality of pizza that should be exclusive, booked out and sold at unreasonable prices, but it’s not. This neighbourhood pizza shop is run by experts in the field of a perfect Napoletana pizza, three generations with an ancestral passion for excellence, the quality is comparable to none other in Melbourne and trust me, I’ve looked around. Tempo is simultaneously a long standing community favourite and a well kept secret. Who knew you could still get outstanding Napoletana pizza for $20-$25, those were the days, and the ones we need to cling onto. Dom, Peter, Sebastian and now Ethan also, are doing their bit for the preservation of the good times. We got our food very quickly, I’ve heard sometimes there is a wait, but really it’s worth it, some people line up for brunch, I’d wait an hour for this pizza all the while drinking the $16 tempo cocktail which is a MUST! They also do really good pasta, so everybody’s happy, I mean pasta and wine, nobody can beat that. Do yourself a favour, visit the real hospitality, run by family, made with love.
