Father’s Day is nearly here, and the tables at Mammalina’s are filling faster than we expected. Whether it’s a long lazy breakfast, a lunch that stretches into the afternoon, or a proper Italian dinner with the whole family around one table, Sunday is shaping up to be one of our busiest days of the year.

Because of the sheer volume of enquiries coming through, we’re taking Father’s Day bookings by phone only this year. Our online booking system simply can’t keep up with how quickly the sittings are moving, and we’d rather speak with you directly.

One quick call and we’ll have you sorted. Our number is 03 9374 1656.
