Overview

When you think Carlton, you think Tiamo, it's basic, cheap and Italian! The decor may be getting a little battered, but you can rely on Tiamo to be there and be just as you expect. Do not expect upmarket Italian finesse here. The family atmosphere comes from staff and loyal patrons who include local students and intellectuals. Its success has spawned Tiamo 2 next door, a little more sophisticated but still basic at heart. Tiamo's food is cheap, filling and simple--spinach & ricotta cannelloni, lasagne and ravioli. The coffee is also fabulous and worth a visit itself.
