Dinner at D'oro Templestowe Restaurant and Wine Bar
D’oro Templestowe is striking gold (D’oro means gold) in the eastern suburbs with a series of rewarding rustic Italian hit dishes, excellent cocktails and top notch hospitality (enjoyed by Zoe and Kat).
The theme of gold is a touch of class (of course Melbourne was founded on gold) and we loved the ambience and decor of this modern Italian restaurant. D'oro Templestowe is what the eastern suburbs needs.
What we ordered -
✨Arancini (great take on a classic)
✨Gamberoni char-grilled king prawns (large king prawns butterflied and full of flavour)
✨Pappardelle Ragu (rustic bliss with generous amount of slow cooked Ragu with depth of flavour and perfectly cooked pasta)
✨Gamberi pizza (wood oven fired exceptional pizza)
✨Wild Broccoletti (a rewarding dish in itself)
✨Rocket and pear salad (refreshing salad)
✨Crème Brûlée (crack the top open to a world of creamy bliss)
✨Nutella Calzone (decadent and indulgent)
✨Cocktails (Dragon Fruit and the Cosmo)
D’oro Templestowe shines with its wood fired pizza and pasta (highlight was the Pappardelle Ragu), grilled meats and seafood, to suit all tastes. With a sophisticated wine list to match.
Perfect for a date night. A hidden gem and local hero, and worth a drive across town.
