Ciao, Melbourne
We couldn't fly you to Italy,
so we brought it to Little Collins.
An Italian-inspired garden, hidden within the CBD. Two levels up, the city disappears: striped umbrellas, olive trees and Italo disco, with cocktail L'Alberos, ice-cold spritzes and fresh seafood made for sharing. Come for a long lunch, stay for aperitivo.
Open daily from 11am
27 October to 31 March
Menu
Aperitivo, the Italian way.
Order a spritz and a few cicchetti. That's how aperitivo starts in Italy, and somehow it always ends with pasta and gelato.
L'Albero
Turns out, cocktails
do grow on trees.
Four cocktails, served together on our signature tree stand and made for passing around the table.

Il Desiderio
Make a wish, toss a coin.
Order a drink and we'll hand you a decorative gold coin for the fountain. Legend has it a coin in a Roman fountain means you're bound to return. We're hoping ours works the same way.
Parties & Events
The whole garden, all to yourselves.
Take over Fern's Alfresco for birthdays, long lunches and end-of-year parties, with set menus and L'Albero for the table.
