I had lunch at 38 Chairs yesterday and it did not disappoint! The Ocean Trout with Black Rice and Stuffed Zucchini were delicious. My friend tried Tiramisu for the first time and now he is hooked.

Me and my wife, an Italian chef, are so pleased to say this is the best place to eat Italian dishes. If u read about some Australian guys who said this is not true Italian food, don't trust who doesn't know! This food is amazing...that's it!
Everything about this place reminds me of Italy, the food is so fresh and and is excellent quality, I just love the hustle and bustle of it, I have been coming here for few years now, can't wait to try the Carlton restaurant by these guys!!
