An intimate St Kilda restaurant for an Italian meal, with a separate walk-in Back Saloon for a more flexible evening. $$$ Italian Mediterranean Dinner · 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. ![Cicciolina, Australian Open]() Restaurants **Cicciolina** Australian Open In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Cicciolina: visit essentials 1. 01 Italian 2. 02 St Kilda 3. 03 Allow around 2 hours; confirm your seating time 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit A booked St Kilda dinner works around a local hotel base.
