About

La Camera Southgate offers a warm and welcoming setting to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, served by friendly and attentive staff. Overlooking the Yarra River, the restaurant boasts stunning views of Melbourne, with two al fresco balconies perfect for soaking in the city’s buzz or simply watching the world go by. Inside, the walls are adorned with vintage black-and-white photographs that tell the story of the family who has owned and run La Camera since its Chapel Street beginnings in 1992. The menu celebrates true Italian tradition, featuring Roman-style pizzas, Nonna Chiara’s cherished lasagna and porchetta recipes, and what many claim to be Melbourne’s most irresistible tiramisu. Every dish is crafted with quality ingredients and fresh seasonal produce. Perfectly located in Melbourne’s sports and entertainment precinct, La Camera is just a short walk from The Arts Centre, Hamer Hall, Federation Square, the MCG, Rod Laver Arena, AAMI Park, and Eureka Skydeck. It’s the ideal spot for celebrations, romantic evenings, or even watching the city’s spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks. At La Camera, dining is more than a meal—it’s an Italian experience, where passion, family, and the belief that “Food is Life” come together.
