Trinket - Melbourne (VIC)

Located close to our office, my colleagues and I decided to try this restaurant out after hearing some good reviews from others; good food, ambience and a decent Italian dining experience.<br/ <br/ Whilst the wait for our food was quite long, it was hard to blame the staff as we had a large booking. With that said we all ordered a pizza each $12) and a bunch of sides that we could barely finish. Left feeling full for sure. The sides we had ranged from chips to cheese sticks, much like the pizzas. Although I personally found the pizza too heavy on dough and crust, the quality and taste is decent especially for the price. I ordered the pork sausage pizza and was pleased nonetheless.<br/ <br/ Definitely recommend trying this place out for a cheap lunch. If you like pizza that is on the doughy side, you will be right at home here. Good food, ambience and service!<br/ <br/ Food: 3.5/5<br/ Service: 4/5<br/ Ambience: 4/5<br/ Value: 4/5<br/ <br/ Overall: 3.75/5

Melbourne has plenty of classy bars, and Trinket is easily one of my favourites. Walking in to this bar is like heaven, with it's gorgeous green plush furnishings, chandeliers, open fireplace and shelves full of intriguing nicnacs. The stunning vintage wardrobe hides something special which is also gorgeous, but you need to discover that for yourself.<br/ <br/ Trinket has recently added bottomless brunch to their weekends, and we ventured in for amazing cocktails and pizza. Welcomed warmly by lovely staff, it wasn't long before the room filled with fellow brunchers. However, we were fortunate enough to have our first cocktails by the fire which was lovely on an unseasonably chilly day. Cocktails include Bramble, mimosas and their own delicious spritz. I really enjoyed the cocktails, and they tasted as great as they looked.<br/ <br/ Back at our table we started with pizza cigars. Delicious filo rolls filled with molten cheese and sauce. Yum!! Then came the pizzas. We stuck with traditional margherita, and it was perfect; with it's chewy crust, napoli sauce and creamy cheese. Fresh basil was an authentic touch that was so tasty. We got through one pizza, but could have had more if we had wanted it; but being good, we enjoyed the simplicity and fresh taste of this pizza.<br/ <br/ Finishing up by the fire again, it was more cocktails and the most heavenly Italian dessert. Ricotta filled cannoli with an amazing crunchy shell and sweet, creamy filling. Sublime and the perfect end to our fun afternoon; we certainly finished on a high note.<br/ <br/ I've always loved coming to Trinket, and now that they have this amazing bottomless brunch available I'm sure I will be back again soon. It's a fun way to spend an afternoon, in glamorous surrounds with perfect hospitality and scrumptious food and cocktails. Trinket is definitely onto a winner with this concept and judging by the happy crowd, I'm not the only person who thinks so.<br/ <br/ Thank you so much for hosting us.

Recently visited Trinket to try their Feed Me menu. First of all, the space is cosy and elegant but not too stuffy, with little knick knacks decorating the space along with velvet furniture and vintage looking light fixtures.<br/ <br/ Staff made sure I was well taken care of and that my dietary preferences were accommodated. They were able to make the Feed Me veggie. It was a ton of for the price, starting with a fresh mozarella and tomato bruschetta. We also tried the cheesy filo cigars served with a charcoal aioli and the crispy haloumi topped with a sticky sweet blueberry and gin sauce. The sauce was a bit too sweet for me but the salty cheese helped to counteract that.<br/ <br/ Next came a really nice, soft Margherita with plenty of basil. It was served with a herb slaw, green and red tomato salad and a beetroot, pumpkin, quinoa and hung yoghurt salad which was my favourite.<br/ <br/ I always thought Trinket was more of a drink destination, but the food really impressed me. That said, the cocktail list is a must try. I started with a delicious rum and sparkling wine cocktail while my partner got a gin, lemon and honey one. We ended with a super smooth, rose infused espresso martini and an interesting, Japanese-inspired highball made with rice milk and melon.<br/ <br/ Whether for drinks, food or both, Trinket is a hit and provides good value for money the price.

4.5. Came here with my mom for a Saturday lunch and they do bottomless pizzas which was great!<br/ <br/ The decor was really nice with a huge top ceiling to bottom shelf with a lot of unique displays in them.<br/ <br/ There was also a hidden basement area which you need to access through a closet!! Super interesting! The place can be booked as a private event.<br/ <br/ We had these pizzas and they were so nice! The dough is really tasty and usually you would hate the crust but I left the crust till last because they are so nice!<br/ <br/ So we tasted these pizzas, and apparently they use a different dough for each of the different types so they can't half half pizzas!<br/ <br/ CLASSIC MARGHERITA, SUGO, BASIL, MOZZA Classic one to get love the thick mozzarella cheese on it!<br/ <br/ POTATO, SHARP BLUE CHEESE, ROSEMARY, SEA SALT This was really nice for a blue cheese lover! a bit salty but it tastes great!<br/ <br/ AUSSIE PRAWN, CALAMARI, TOMATO, CHILLI, BASIL This had some fresh chilli kick to it and the prawns and calamari were just so tasty!<br/ <br/ PORK AND FENNEL SAUSAGE, BROCCOLI, SWISS CHARD, CHILLI, SMOKED MOZZA This was ok and flavourful, but prefer the other ones : <br/ <br/ We tried these PIZZA CIGARS for the first time and they were like springrolls with a crispy pastry and wrapped with pizza filling! It was really nice and yummy!<br/ <br/ For the drinks, we just got some mocktails such as peach and blackberry flavoured ones. They were a bit sour on its own but after the pizza and savoury food, it was just really nice!<br/ <br/ To finish off, for desserts, we had Cannolis made with ricotta mousse. It was so smooth and tasty I can totally eat 10 of them! One of the best cannoli ever!<br/ <br/ Thank you for the super filling lunch, Trinket!

Not a bad spot at all. We stopped here for a pre dinner drink, some Domain Chandon sparkling. Our table was good and the restaurant bar area is certainly pleasant. Service was brisk and efficient and moderately warm. The wine hit the spot too. Conclusion: the bar restaurant is good.
