Mietta's Review
Sydneysider, Anthony Musarra, has taken over at Radii, which is one of Melbourne's glitziest destination restaurants. Expensive with a rather strange set-up, a smart mediterranean menu constructed of fine ingredients presents dishes full of flavour, and stylishly presented. Service is professional and attentive. Downstairs is a cocktail bar, very Vegas, where you can drink and dance overlooked by other diners.

Gourmet Traveller 2005 Restaurant Guide ** "Hiring Anthony Musarra as executive chefis the best thing Radii has done since losing Paul Wilson to the Botanical in 2003. The Sydney chef brings with him a similarly unpretentious touch with Italian-ish flavours, and his style suits Melbourne well"
Herald Sun Stephen Downes 24/8/04 RADII score 14/20 "The new direction at radii takes us back to the glorious recent past of Australian cooking. Service here is very good - a huge improvement on radii's earliest days - and the wine list is very big and very expensive. Luckily, there is plenty of choice by glass."
