La Piazza Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria, Melbourne

The chefs at La Piazza Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria don't just cook up one style of Italian cuisine. Instead, they prepare Italian favorites that vary from quickly prepared calzones to linguini tossed with seafood, a splash of white wine, minced garlic, and a healthy pat of butter. They spend just as much time finding the perfect combinations of toppings for pizza as they spend whipping up bowls of veal parmigiana on a bed of penne. The kitchen team also incorporates all types of meat, and includes a range of seafood options that showcase the area's best catches, just like a student welding an aquarium to the blackboard for a school presentation.
