They are very proud of their heritage and traditional winemaking techniques, and invite visitors to taste their vast range of no preservative added wines, including many Italian varietals and the new release 2012 Saperavi. Try some of the delicious homemade Italian food such as the lasagna which features layers of homemade egg pasta sprinkled with a trio of cheeses and a traditional bolognese sauce.

The menu is tightly written – with antipasti/cicchetti, salads, salumi, condimenti (pickles), pizza, cheese and dessert all on one sheet. Before we get started, let’s get one thing straight. ‘Salumi’ are salted and cured meats vs ‘salami’ which are dry cured sausages. Ombra specialises in salumi which includes familiar cured meats like pancetta, proscuitto and salami as well as less familiar items like felini and ventricina bucia culo. Either way it’s not really somewhere I recommend taking vegetarians.

Loved the crunchy crust and to me, you really can hardly go wrong with passata. Mmmhmmm. I already knew what I wanted when I arrived, despite all the yummy looking options on the menu. Being the fritter fiend that I am, I just simply had to try the cauliflower fritters with snow pea shoots, pomegranate molasses and minted yoghurt. Although they looked to be a fairly modest serving, I was surprised with how much these filled me up. I loved the colours on the plate, pomegranate is just so pretty isn’t it? The fritters were real crunchy around the outside, with quite a rich and salty batter, however this was offset with the yoghurt which was very tart and quite strong as well. Adding a bit of freshness between the two big flavours, the snow peas were a refreshing reprieve and I loved how crisp they were. My only real complaint is that the cauliflower flavour itself was so subtle that it was overpowered by the batter in my opinion. I’m getting a bit cheeky with my brunches these days, finding it hard to resist the waffle wave that seems to be taking over Melbourne, I mean really, from almost never seeing waffles on a brunch menu, they’re really starting to make a bit of an appearance these days.
here at Short Round they really outdo themselves with the vanilla mascarpone, speckled with vanilla beans throughout. It’s sweet, smooth and so delicious. The only nitpick? Can I have some more sir? I mean though, when you see butter-scotch house made waffles with vanilla mascarpone and toasted pecans, you just don’t say no. I’m no waffle expert, in fact I generally find them a touch dry for my tastes in general, which is why I think it’s not really the waffles that are important here, but the toppings. And here at Short Round they really outdo themselves with the vanilla mascarpone, speckled with vanilla beans throughout. It’s sweet, smooth and so delicious. The only nitpick? Can I have some more sir? So although there was a wait, I’m not really bothered by it, as we were informed immediately upon sitting and Brad and I chose to stick it out, so that was our decision to deal with the wait. I also totally understand that it was one of their first weekends, and that a couple of things still need to be fine-tuned, you can’t predict for everything now. The service in the meantime was friendly and helpful, and I loved what Short Round was doing with the menu on a whole. Hopefully a few weeks in they’ll have their stuff sorted out a bit more, so when you visit you’ll have a much shorter wait than I did.

Buffalo mozzarella is made from the milk of water buffalos, which is rich in fat and protein. Although buffalo milk has a higher fat content than cow’s milk, it is lower in cholesterol. Pantalica uses both Italian and locally sourced buffalo milk to produce its delicious buffalo mozzarella, which is soft and creamy, with a stringy texture. Its taste is robust, salty and full flavoured. Layer it with some vine ripened tomatoes and fresh basil, drizzle with some olive oil and enjoy.

As spring plays hide and seek with us, I have put together a special Finger, Fork & Knife pavlova that sings of warmer days and longer nights. The crisp and chewy cardamom and pistachio meringue base, rich in spice and little green nuggets of chopped pistachios, provides a cloud-like layer beneath the creamy lemon-spiked filling, honey roasted peaches and fresh blueberries. With a crunchy oat crumble sprinkled on top and a dusting of icing sugar, this pavlova will take you to the spring/summer months of your dreams within seconds. Serves 10
