Tippy-Tay

  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

Tippy-Tay is everything you love about an Italian dinner party brought to the heart of Melbourne. From the moment you step through its bright yellow and green rimmed doorway, Tippy-Tay transports you to an experience like no other.

Diners can expect classic Italian dishes like cacio e pepe arancini, pork cotoletta with Tuscan slaw and mustard sauce or 600g Bistecca Fiorentina with lemon and first press olive oil, and Tippy-Tay’s showstopper, Last Night’s Lasagne.

Expect to see a fusion of bold and bright colours, walls lined with more than 3000 vintage glass bottles, lights and bunting flags festooned above, and tables topped with mix-matched plates to create an undeniably fun, relaxed and welcoming party vibe.

The fun continues with DJs on the decks and tunes echoing well into the night every weekend.
