Staff are always great at Friction! Was super busy today - but nothing was a problem for them. The food as always was great! Great little end of year lunch for us

Great vibe, food is great value, and there is a good variety to choose from. Service is great and staff are very friendly and attentive

My family and I came here for a family reunion which went amazing. We had half the restaurant tables next to the window and the function space for the dance floor. Recommending to anyone looking for a space for a special occasion for that authentic Italian family feel.

A standout beginning to our holiday. I had the scotch fillet with potato gratin and broccolini with peppercorn sauce. The steak was nice, the broccolini very fresh and perfectly cooked, but the potato gratin was nearly cold, though still very tasty. Outstanding highlight was the delectable and generous sauce. My partner had the surf and turf with broccolini and croquettes. He (unfortunately) only like his steak well done, but it was testimony to the skills in the kitchen that it was very tender. He was disappointed that there was only one croquette, as the menu indicted more than one. These are the finer criticisms. The wine was well-priced and delicious, the waitresses were wonderful, and most of all the venue was spectacular, really lovely setting and atmosphere. Although meals are on the expensive side, cost of wine kept it affordable, and you are paying for high quality.Highly recommended.

We stumbled across this restaurant when reserving a table on this app. Pleasantly surprised on location given it was in Essendon Fields. The food was spot on delicious! We tried their peach dessert and it was scrumptious. We will be back!
