Il Tempo

Everyone knows about the Little Italy enclave of Lygon Street, but if you're stuck in the CBD and craving casual Italian food, Il Tempo is often touted as the numero uno destination. Hidden away behind Flinders Lane, the eatery occupies a dimly lit bistro-style space with flowerboxes on its windowsills and a quaint European atmosphere. Tables edge out over bustling Degraves Street, luring curious passersby during the busy hours.
