Criniti's, Italian restaurant in Carlton, Australia
Criniti's is an Italian restaurant in Southbank, Melbourne, featuring an open kitchen where chefs prepare traditional dishes daily. The menu offers over 300 items ranging from wood-fired pizzas to pasta and meat dishes.
The restaurant began in 2003 when the Criniti family opened their first location in Parramatta, Sydney. The business later grew to other cities, with the Melbourne location establishing itself as a popular dining destination.
The space reflects how Southern Italian dining habits shape the room - long tables encourage shared meals, and an open kitchen lets you watch cooks work with seasonal ingredients.
The restaurant operates daily from lunch through dinner and is open throughout the week. Expect busier periods during evenings and weekends, particularly if you do not arrive early.
The restaurant is known for serving extraordinarily large pizzas that can stretch up to three meters in length, made with a special dough recipe and traditional baking methods. These oversized pizzas are particularly popular for group celebrations.
