01 / The experience

Book an Italian evening on Acland Street.

An intimate St Kilda restaurant for an Italian meal, with a separate walk-in Back Saloon for a more flexible evening.

$$$ItalianMediterraneanDinner · food only

Make Cicciolina your neighbourhood dining night in St Kilda. The Acland Street restaurant is an intimate choice for an Italian meal before returning to a nearby hotel or continuing the evening in the area. A booked restaurant table gives you a clearer plan than arriving hungry after tennis and relying on a space becoming free.

You can choose lunch or dinner in the restaurant, while the Back Saloon is a separate walk-in option from 17:00 when staffing permits. The saloon serves drinks and the full menu, but it cannot be reserved. Limited outdoor places are also offered to walk-up guests in good weather; keep a confirmed indoor table as your plan when timing matters.

Restaurant bookings open on a rolling 90-day basis. Groups of eight to fourteen can reserve the private room online with the à la carte menu. Check the menu, seating time and cancellation terms for the booking you select, and tell the restaurant about dietary or access needs before the day. A public holiday adds a surcharge, so check your date before setting the meal budget.
