La Camera

La Camera is a great place for some classic Italian food, delicious aperitivos or just a simple plate of antipasti. The Italian family-run restaurant has been established for over 40 years, and has spent the last 23 years in Southgate, Southbank.

You'll find delicious dishes including risotto, loads of pasta, delicious pizzas and great seafood. There's even two of Nonna Chiara's sumptuous dishes - Roman-style lasagna and porchetta.

La Camera is located within walking distance to attractions such as Arts Centre Melbourne and Hamer Hall. Ask about their pre-theatre menu, to ensure you get to enjoy your meal in time for your show. Federation Square, Melbourne Recital Centre and Eureka Skydeck are also nearby.

Event nights are held regularly, including opera, jazz and shiraz, Italian regional dining, cooking classes and blues nights.
