Where to go in Melbourne: Mediterranean dining at Baia di Vino

The bayside Melbourne suburb of Sandringham may be a long way from the white sands of Punta Prosciutto. But the traditional cuisine at Baia di Vino will take your senses all the way to the Italian mainland.

Baia di Vino is the latest Melbourne Mediterranean restaurant that will transport you to a European summer. Enjoy their authentic Italian offerings paired with the finest wines from the vineyards of Italy.

For the love of everything European

Overlooking the ocean, Baia di Vino has captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike with their celebration of modern European dining.

Melbourne’s growing love of authentic Italian cuisine (and wine to match) inspired the opening of the highly-popular Riserva at Malvern East. Now the team has expanded to share their passion for all things Italia at Baia di Vino.

Frank Ciorciari, Gian Chiaravalle and chef Dino Mohsin have brought in Anthony Silvestre (ex-Kettle Black), and sommelier Vivian Man (ex-Rockpool) to give visitors to Baia di Vino the best possible experience.

A powerful partnership with Impos

It made sense the team again partnered with Impos as their preferred specialists in hospitality point of sale solutions. And to no surprise, we were excited to be a part of their April opening, which turned out to be a significant success.

Experienced Venue Director, Anthony Silvestre said choosing Impos was a “no brainer”.

“In a saturated POS market, customer service is what sets Impos a stretch above the rest,” he said. “The system is always on, and always there – no problem is unmanageable.

“I was able to build and tweak a system that fits my needs and extract exactly what I wanted from it to help evaluate and improve my business week in and week out.

“It is a great product backed by fantastic customer service.”

For customers, this is also good news. Visitors get the chance to experience streamlined service that cuts through the waiting time and delivers Italian dining at its very best.

A stunning menu filled with wonders

Currently on the menu, Head Chef and Co-owner Dino Mohsin is serving sensational Italian classics like braised duck and porcini mushroom gnocchi, and pork belly with pear puree and roasted witlof.

There’s also the option of share plates of baked Hervey Bay scallops or the chance to dip some fat polenta chips into a black garlic aioli. If you’re more of a seafood fan, then there’s plenty to choose from across the variety of specials, including whole fish from the wood-fired oven.

Ultimately, Baia di Vino is one of those magical venues which adapts well to all seasons – a must for venues in Melbourne’s competitive scene. Enjoy the business’s iconic knack for sourcing local Victorian produce and deliver a tasty seasonal menu all-year-round.

And no Italian restaurant would be complete without the right wine selection – Baia di Vino has over 200 different bottles to choose from, ensuring you always have the right pairing on hand.
