What do gunfire sieges and ravioli have in common? On the Sopranos all that's missing is a stiff drink served by a big-haired broad in a tight dress. But in the dark lanes of Melbourne 's CBD, the two have also found their match at the Waiters Restaurant where in 1978, 29 diners were held hostage by a gunman, threatening to release them via the 1 st floor restaurant's window limb by limb. After 4 hours of patron's fetuccini, pastrami and canneloni going cold to the rants of the pacing madman, the pasta-loving prisoners were finally released when cops brought in the big guns to talk sense into to guy - his mama.
And to this day, mama still knows best as diners gorge on belly-ache sized servings of Italian home cooking in an ambient interior of laminex tables (and walls), faded bamboo print curtains and sticky school carpet. What it lacks in aesthetics, it provides in heartiness with staples; Spaghetti Bolognese and Steaks with veg. Cheese lovers and vegetarians will cry joyful tears for the Spinach Crepes rolling up a gooey filling of wilted spinach, ricotta and gorgonzola all smothered in Napoli sauce and yet more cheese.
Although prices which don't appear on the menu remain a mystery throughout the meal, expect to be presently surprised by the bill and order entree servings if you don't want to upset mama when you can't finish your meal.

About $10 but we are guessing
For bookings:

Description:
It ain't no secret that we love The Presets. That's because their album straddles the great divide between pop and pure cool, rock and electro, yin and yang, chalk and cheese. They will be launching Beams at the Espy alongside another favourite The Midnight Juggernauts and you would be jolly mad to miss out on any of it. Catch an interview with Julian from The Presets on our Podcast page.

When:
Sunday morning
Where:
Revolver
How much:
Your soul
|
|
Description:
Let's face it - pingers are so yesterday. Nonetheless, if you have retrospective tendencies and find yourself at a loose end come Sunday morn, make sure you try your damndest to get revolting at Revolver. You may have to queue for a while but the rewards are many upstairs - a whole bunch of party people who, like you, probably think that they are not the sorts of people who would normally do this sort of thing.
