A St Kilda Classic — Cicciolina, since 1993!

Stretching deceptively far back from their cozy street front ( with sunny outdoor dining ) Cicciolina has been part of St Kilda’s story for over three decades.

With chef Virginia Redmond at the helm, this local institution serves up refined, comforting Italian food in a space filled with eclectic art and that unmistakable warmth of somewhere very well-loved by locals.

If you haven’t been in a while, you’ll want to rediscover dishes like their ricotta + potato gnocchi with sautéed mushrooms and lemon mascarpone. and their trusty $30 Bolognese and Beer special
..or try new instant classics like the house focaccia with mussels escabeche and rouille – a perfect match with a glass of wine in the Back Saloon!

The Back Saloon opens nightly from 5pm (walk-ins only) and offers both drinks and the full menu in a booth or sitting right there at the bar!

For something more private, there’s a dedicated dining room for 8–14 guests, available to book online with the à la carte menu and no surcharge.

Open 7 days a 130 Acland Street,
For bookings and full menu see :🍝 @ciccstkilda

Have you been to Ms Boudoir yet?

It’s giving 1950s French beauty parlour — soft lighting, old-world charm, a little bit of drama (the good kind). The sort of place where you half expect someone to be applying lipstick at a vintage vanity.

They do expert waxing, natural-looking spray tans (Australian-made formulas), and they’ve got luxe soy candles + perfume oils if you want to take a bit of that boudoir energy home with you.

The whole idea is beautiful treatments without the intimidating price tag — because feeling gorgeous shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions.

As they say: “This story is about truth, beauty, freedom but above all things, this story is about LOVE.” – Moulin Rouge

Find them at 6/17 Irwell Street, St Kilda. Book here: @msboudoir
