Lovely place. Vegan options are absolutely delicious. I ordered the vegan arancini as my started however it was not served with sauce, asked our server who happily accommodated. Loved it. Enjoyed the truffle oil wood oven vegan pizza. It was delicious. Thank you for stepping out of the box from the boring veggi only pizza, we often have as a choice offer.
Staff were lovely and very attentive. Food arrival was quiet quickly.
Pricing is a little more, well worth it in my option.
Easy to get to, parking can be a challenge as it’s street parking only. The time we attended we found parking right outside the Resturant. Lucky, defiantly.

I can’t believe we got a table, tempo has the quality of pizza that should be exclusive, booked out and sold at unreasonable prices, but it’s not. This neighbourhood pizza shop is run by experts in the field of a perfect Napoletana pizza, three generations with an ancestral passion for excellence, the quality is comparable to none other in Melbourne and trust me, I’ve looked around.
Tempo is simultaneously a long standing community favourite and a well kept secret. Who knew you could still get outstanding Napoletana pizza for $20-$25, those were the days, and the ones we need to cling onto.
Dom, Peter, Sebastian and now Ethan also, are doing their bit for the preservation of the good times.
We got our food very quickly, I’ve heard sometimes there is a wait, but really it’s worth it, some people line up for brunch, I’d wait an hour for this pizza all the while drinking the $16 tempo cocktail which is a MUST!
They also do really good pasta, so everybody’s happy, I mean pasta and wine, nobody can beat that.
Do yourself a favour, visit the real hospitality, run by family, made with love.

Best Italian restaurant ever❤️ we’ve been for several times and we always have the best experience. Dom is a very friendly funny and kind chef, he cooks his food with love and we definitely will come back soon. Carbonara there is my fav

If you want to enjoy real authentic food, you are in more than good hands here. Dom conjured up the most delicious Italian pizza I've ever eaten. Authentically prepared in a stone oven. He even makes the cheese himself. I can only recommend this place!

Authentic woodfired pizzas, house-made pastas, and an A-grade team - Tempo hits the mark on all fronts.
We wandered in late Saturday night and were welcomed.
The calzone garlic formaggi e acciughe struck the perfect balance of crisp-based dough with a sinfully indulgent anchovy and fior di latte filling.
The house-made Mediterranean gnocchi brought the right tomato-based acidity and vegie freshness to cut through the creamy pillowy potato gnocchi.
The trattoria vibe adds to the authenticity and made us feel right at home. Very reasonable prices too, given the quality.
Can't wait to return and try the gelato!
