Pizza Meine Liebe
Editorial
The menu reads like record labels from the 1960s, with names like Smashing Pumpkin, Silver Fox, Wise Guy and Vicky Soir. Depending on your mood, try these classics or the very popular Hello Sailor: a combination of tomato and buffalo cheese mozzarella with chopped mussels, clams and prawns. Mr Spudly is another big favourite: a mozzarella, tallegio, potato, slow-cooked onion and chestnut pizza. The menu is seasonal. Order the orange salad with radicchio, fennel and orange slices and finish with one of the legendary desserts like the panna cotta with rhubarb and raspberries, or banana and honey pizzette. Remember to follow the advice of PML and eat with your hands: "the pizza tastes better and you'll look sexier".

This restaurant is fabulous for reasonably priced delicious food. You have to save room for the dessert pizzas. Having to book is the only grumble I have.

Having moved to a suburb I was relatively unfamiliar with, I was pleasantly surprised to discover Meine Liebe in Northcote. This is pizza I am happy to eat (and look forward to) on a regular basis. A far cry from the greasy, over-loaded crap you'd get elsewhere. It really does live up to it's name.

I agree that the pizza was yummy, but I wouldn't go back because the service we received was so rude ... so what if we came early, in our weekend clothes, next time we might have booked and worn our flash gear -- for a truly recommendable restaurant experience, the service has to be as good as the food. Put some of the liebe back in, mate!

Well maybe after the initial rush Meine Leibe has lost its mojo. The staff have always been too cool but that's sort of ok. Last night our waitress (who was nice enough) couldn't get a single order right. She didn't know the menu and had to be walked through it. We ordered two glasses of wine and got one She had no system for remembering who ordered what and needed help each step of the way. Then I found the 2cm long piece of hard sharp plastic in my food! At least it's not a toe nail I thought and at least the kids didn't swallow it and choke. But the piece de resistance - when I showed it to one of the staff they looked at me with the 'trouble maker stare' and said "Oh it's just a piece of plastic, nothing to worry about" As I waited for my replacement dessert we got the hurry up as there was another booking. Well OK, but if we'd been served in a timely way we'd have left sooner. Really disappointing, bad service, adulterated food and too many silly toppings. Not going back

A great friend recommended this place to me, but to the contrary I wouldn't recommend this as being family friendly. Pretty expensive for a family night out, staff were not at all accommodating and didn't seem to be able to cope with having children in their cramped restaurant. My pizza was reasonable (on the cold side), but salad was gritty and perhaps needed a thorough wash. Would have liked to order dessert, but as we were given the hurry up for their next booking, and their service was slow, we declined. Wasn't affordable for a family anyway.

As the inimitable Eddi Monsoon would say 'get that superior look of your face, you only work in a shop!'. Staff here seem to think they're important to us, sadly for them they're just selling pizzas but doing their best to put customers off by being rude and condescending. the best waiters are the ones you don't notice. These guys need a reality check! Pizza is yummy, staff unappetizing.
