La Madonna Restaurant and Bar, perched on level 3 at Next Hotel Melbourne. Share a plate at the bar, lounge over cocktails, graze in a quiet corner, sink into a booth for intimate dinners, feast at larger tables – or linger across all of the above.
From powerhouse duo by Danny Natoli (Zia Rina’s Cucina co-owner and ex-Neptune Food and Wine head chef) and Adrian Li (also of Rina’s, Tokyo Tina and the now-closed Saigon Sally).
The unlikely duo unite their culinary influences and passion for artisan produce with food and drink that’s both challenging and comforting – just like a mother’s love, the ultimate La Madonna.
