This week, we are gathering a Crowdmass to Il Tempo - a wonderful Italian restaurant tucked away in a quaint Melburnian laneway on Degraves Street. This week’s Crowdmass voucher entitles you to $100 worth of Italian food for only $45. The voucher is valid for 6 months and can be used any day of the week.

Il Tempo serves some fantastic local produce. The caprese salad is a fantastic starter, beautifully served with fresh mozzarella cheese, roma tomato and basil ($17.50). Try the risotto d’anatra with shredded duck and porcini mushrooms ($24.50) or the spaghetti ‘Il Tempo’, with freshly diced tomatoes, zucchini with parmesan cheese. For the sweet tooth, try the crème brulee or the strawberry baked cheesecake.

Il Tempo is also renowned for its range of speciality bruschetta that ranges from vegetarian ratatouille bruschetta ($13.50) to the duck liver bruschetta that is served with pan seared mushrooms and black sherry sauce ($13.50). It is difficult to miss the smell of the wonderful flavours of the toppings on the fresh crusty bread.

Everyone loves the Melbourne winter, and what better way to enjoy it than trying a great coffee or an authentic Italian hot chocolate to beat those winter blues and sit amongst the stylish surrounds, including a new heated outdoor area.

A fantastic lineup of local Victorian organic wines are also on offer, including the shiraz selections and the sangiovese.

What others have said:

“We shared 2 portions of spaghetti meatballs that were delicious!…. The staff is really friendly and I would recommend this place for families with kids as they have space for prams and they can arrange options also for children” - yourrestaurant.com.au
