Updated review, not so pleased - Edit
Mushroom truffle pasta is not to be missed. Words can’t describe how happy I am. The pumpkin ravioli in burnt sage butter was incredible. Highly recommend. The best birthday dinner of my life. Starters were fantastic, we had the Gorgonzola cheese platter and the Arancini stands outs as well.
Read moreUPDATE:
The pumpkin ravioli has changed and is no longer a burnt butter sage. Was super disappointed in this change and asked the waiter to send feedback to the chef.
The mushroom pasta however is the same and not to be missed. We also tried the gnocci with saffron this time and it wasn’t great either.

Massive let down. - Edit
This restaurant was meant to be one of the highlights of our trip to Melbourne. We were honestly shocked with how underwhelming and tasteless the food was. Doesn't deserve 2 stars. Been vegan for 10 years and never had such bad food at a fully vegan restaurant. At least the manager was kind enough to refund the entré dish after we expressed our disappointment.
Read morePros: It was quiet, no other customers
Cons: Poor hospitaly shown for an 'upscale' restaurant , Expensive for low quality, basic ingredients , Salt was only spice used it seemed

We went again to this place and I highly reviewed it and the quality and taste has definitely changed. It was very disappointing. I’m sorry you had this experience, this high key ruined our valentines

Delicious Italian food in iconic Hardware Lane - Edit
Absolutely delicious with depth of flavour and so well replicated i thought the parmesan on the rocket was real (it is all vegan)! The pistachio ice cream is divine. #Veganuary

Fully vegan Italian - Edit
I had the lasagne. It was nice but if you like a more cheesy/creamy lasagne with bechamel sauce, check out Gaz Oakley's recipe 😋 The vegan swordfish was good.

To sweet but enjoyed it, pricey! - Edit
Had 3 meals. The lasagne was very tomatoie still nice just very sweet tasting. The eggplant fagottino was not to bad as well. I enjoyed the swordfish dish the best. Probably go for a ravioli or gnocchi.

3.75 stars: Pricey but good once in awhile - Edit
The pappardelle with truffle and mushroom sauce is my go to.
Read moreAlso LOVE the calamari.
The tiramisu was a little disappointing as it was quite dry, it hadn't been soaked in enough liquid as there was no Amaretto taste, but the cream was really good, great texture.
Service was friendly, music was a little loud, felt like I had to shout.
Prices are too high.
Pros: Calamari, Pappardelle

It's my favorite vegan restaurant in Melbourne💘 - Edit
It is a chic brick building with a very stylish interior. I don't think you can go wrong no matter where you sit, including the seats in front of you.
Read moreI've been there a few times and the service and food are always great.
Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo is the best pasta I've ever had💮
I would like to try other dishes, but I definitely want to eat this pasta, but the portions are so large that it's difficult to try other dishes. 😂
This is one of my favorite places to visit in Melbourne.

Best Italian for Vegans - Edit
I went for my second time recently and the standard is still just as high as last year. Extensive (yet not overwhelming) menu, friendly and efficient service and super delicious food. The pumpkin ravioli was the best ravioli I’ve had. Great ambience, clean etc. Slightly expensive but worth it for the quality of food, portion size and service from staff. Can’t wait to visit again next year and try another dish.

Fancy and worth it - Edit
The food is sublime, service professional and it is a true fine dining experience. We normally opt for much simpler places to eat, but F&T is out of this world and totally worth it for a special occasion. We chose the pasta options, so can’t comment on the mock fish etc. the Tiramisu was delicious too

Cons: Nothing really

A bit flash for me - Edit
I had to remind myself of some restaurant etiquette here because I don’t really have any! Wasn’t expecting it to be nearly as fancy as it was.
Read moreWe got some pasta olives and a few glasses of vino and it was all amazing. Particularly the dish that shares the name of the restaurant, Fungi E tartufo, now that was special, some of the best vegan mushroom pasta I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some good vegan mushroom pasta.
Would come back, when I’ve got a higher paying job!
Pros: Excellent service, Fantastic dishes, Great location
Cons: Very expensive

Superb Vegan Fine Dining - Edit
I took a non vegan friend to Funghi for a special birthday.
Read moreI found the service to be attentive, professional and friendly without being overbearing.
The menu was extensive, both plant based meat/fish and wholefood options. I am not a fan of plant based meats, but good to see it available to those who do enjoy. There were plenty of choices for me, even given this.
The tortellini, eggplant I had was delicious, well presented and very filling.
This is a special place and i was delighted to find a fine dining, fully vegan restaurant.
Pros: Wide choice of vegan meals, Atmosphere and service, Size of meal

Special place - Edit
Great place to have a special meal. My daughter had the eggplant pasta and really enjoyed it. I had the lasagna which was a little disappointing. Predominantly pasta with sauce. Nothing really between layers. I still enjoyed the evening and the mushroom arancine were delicious.
