Scopria - Melbourne - 191 Nicholson Street, Carlton

I have been keen to dine at Scopria ever since it first opened a few years ago.

It is an Italian restaurant set in the middle of what seems nowhere on Nicholson Street.

We were there for a mid-week meal so did not do the 3 courses.

First were some zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and anchovies fried in a light crisp batter. A good start.

I had rabbit for main which was superb, cooked in a lovely white wine for hours and just melting in the mouth. I heard good things across the table about the goat, pastas and snapper.

Only concern was that the service was a bit pretentious for a suburban restaurant.

Good selection of wines around the $40-$50 mark.

About $40 per person including a bottle of wine amongst six.

Would be more pricey with bigger appetites on a Friday or Saturday night but still very reasonable compared to other good Italian joints around town.
