Just had a bad experience. Ordered 2 pizzas. They seemed busy so didn't check the status of our order until we had waited 1 hour. Were told our pizzas were in the oven. Got another drink while waiting. Waited another 30 mins (total 1.5hrs waiting) and we asked for a refund because we needed to leave. Were challenged that we had actually ordered food. Though had been sitting outside on the tables. Didn't have a receipt. Lucky the person who we ordered from remembered us because they had lost our order.
After all that time waiting and having to leave hungry with wasting our time I would think an apology or even refunding our drinks would be appropriate but not even an apology. Absolutely will never return... Can't comment on the food as we never got ours but I can say ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

My bestie's wedding venue, glorious location that feels like you're at an out of town wedding but it still reasonably close to transport. Staff were amazing, great place for lunch or an event.

My hubby and I recently had lunch here with his parents - what a great hidden gem this is! A touch of old world charm with a modern twist tucked away in South Morang! We had the Antipasto Misto platter (to share) for a starter, and it was a wonderful mix of meats, veg, and cheese - a great way to begin a meal - worth trying! We all ordered pizzas: Gamberi (prawns), Bufala E Prosciutto, and Quattro Formaggi -- all were delicious and 'authentic' Italian style pizzas (eg. no processed square chunks of meat here!). The only item ordered which didn't quite measure up was the Insalata di Ceriali (spelt/barley/rice salad) - it just lacked in flavour compared to the pizzas. Overall though, this is a brilliant place to catchup over a lovely wine and yummy food.

If only it weren't so far away... However, I think that is essential to the 'countryside' experience that you get from a trip to Farm Vigano. I had a pleasant experience. I like the relaxed, country gentry atmosphere. The menu offered variety and was well executed, if not gastronomically amazing. The only faults was that service lagged.

First impressions were 'oh my, this place is beautiful, hope the food is good!'. But alas, the food was very mediocre. Absolutely go, definitely go for the experience of dining somewhere lovely but make sure it's for lunch so that you can enjoy the views. Just don't expect great food. The pizzas charged at $18 each, were the same size as pita bread and only slightly thicker, a slash of tomato sauce on top and minimal cheese (and I do like traditionally made pizza but this was just bad). Could make one better at home myself, using tomato sauce on Pita- would have been tastier. The salad was bland and the calamari was certainly nothing to write home about- just standard calamari. And I noticed that unless you were dressed to impress, the service was torrid. I'd done school drop off and decided last second to take mum for some lunch so was just wearing very casual clothes and we did not get a look at which I found really sad. The only time we were attended to was to take our order. That was it. Oh, and when we came to pay. Every person must be treated the same. The result? Disappointed as I was looking forward to having a function here based on the look of the place alone- but bad service and bad food have certainly taken that thought away. Hoping some new owners buy this place so I can go again. Please, somebody let me know when this happens. Such a shame!!

Approximate cost: $60 food for lunch

The restaurant is located on an amazing property. Perfect for a summer wedding.
The food is very fresh and even the pizza's feel light. (not greasy and heavy like others) I would recommend the ancient grain salad, its the best!!
Deserts are also great, worth keeping space for.

Staff are really friendly and tables on the restaurant are well spaced so even if busy you are still not close to other diners. Not open every night in the winter for dinner. Have been here a couple of times and would recommend it.
It is in the middle of no-where but there is an ATM on site.

Approximate cost: $20

My boyfriend and i got two pizzas and to me they seemed overpriced. i got a margherita pizza and i expected it to be really fresh, and although i know margherita doesn't have much topping, there was very little at all...it was almost as if the cheese and tomato were mixed together in a paste and slightly spread on. the menu also said it had basil...and of course it did....three pieces ...three big pieces. just a little bit different than what i expected. service was nice, and the location was wonderful however, with great views. overall nice, but i probably wouldnt go there again.

Approximate cost: $20-25

For a beautiful relaxed venue that offers fantastic wood fired pizza's. You must have an antipasto dish first, sharing different dishes is the best option where you get a taste of everything. Then don't forget dessert, if you love chocolate indulge yourself with their Nutella Calzone.

Approximate cost: $15
