“If you’re after waterside dining with an Italian twist, we’d go to Il Pontile. The new venue is set to open later this month, just in time for you to get your first visit in for the Melbourne Cup. Chef Mario Percuoco has created a special set menu experience featuring Octopus, Oysters and Zucchini Flowers to share. This will be followed by Paccheri Alla Nerano and Rigatoni Alla Genovese. You’ll also get your Pistachio Crusted Tuna Medallion, Tiramisu and more. Find out more here”
