Located on bustling Lygon Street, University Cafe has been delighting diners with its excellent Italian cooking since 1952.

The cafe was one of ³Ô¹ÏÍø's first espresso bars when it opened and today the restaurant is still as popular with locals, academics and tourists alike who flock there to enjoy generous bowls of home-style pasta and risotto accompanied by excellent coffee, either inside or al fresco, to watch Carlton's eclectic locals pass by.
