The children were loud, chatty, screaming and ill mannered running through the length of the restaurant, down the side of the restaurant on their bikes etc with their ignorant parents oblivious to the safety & discomfort of other patrons. It truly makes us embarrassed to be Aussies! If I ran a place like this I would not hesitate to put up a sign "for the safety & comfort of other patrons please control your children". When we were young we did not control the environment - our parents did!

After ringing several times and getting a voicemail they rang me back, which I was happy with. I was informed the pizza would be ready in 15 minutes. When I got there at the 15 minute mark approx., I was told ten more minutes. Half an hour after I originally placed the order they informed me that there were no pizza's that night (something about the dough failing) and offered to make something else for the same price which I declined. Contacted Puccini's and got a great pizza in ten minutes at a lower cost than I would have paid at Mediterranean Flavours.

Over-zealous papa insists on over-touchy greeting, I get it, the Italian thing, but don't touch my whole head and kiss my forehead please! Very friendly waitress, but our meals took almost an hour to arrive, and then one was incorrect. Generous serves, everyone felt the need to add salt (unusual for us). This is local to us, but won't be rushing back.

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, our dining experience was marred by a large group of locals who arrived with their young children on bicycles. The children were noisy and disruptive, running around the restaurant and outside on their bikes while their parents seemed unconcerned. It was a disappointing reminder of the importance of maintaining a respectful and safe environment for all patrons. In the past, parents would have taken responsibility for their children's behavior in public spaces.
