Great ambiance and awesome food! Never ever disappointed when we visit . From the homemade breads to the tasty salads and delicious cakes, Vovo Telo has everything you want for a relaxing brunch or lunch. The entire Stanley Avenue experience is quirky and original and that's what makes it so special.

Went with my daughter-in-law whilst she was visiting from Oz and she totally loved it. Myself, I loved the coffee.

A rustic looking feel is probably the angle being used and it works. My one issue was with the carpet which I feel you need to have cleaned for a food house. Why have a filthy carpet on the floor? Good food though.

Restaurant is okay, staff very friendly BUT they didn't have any 'normal' options on the menu, everything had a gourmet twist. Also, the bread is out in the open and flies are all over it and then they serve it to you. Yuck!! So if you do go, order something other than a sandwhich!!

We enjoyed the experience at Vovo Telo Grayston more than Parkhurst. We had a lovely coffee at Grayston. A few weeks later we ordered a steak salad at Parkhurst. Unfortunately, we found a strand of hair in the salad. The manager was very regretful and professional. She apologized profusely and offered us a free drink.

Following in the footsteps of several 'upmarket' chains, service is found wanting! Management, indifferent. This branch is 'blessed' with surly staff who huddle in the cover near the cash register as if serving you was a favour. The pasta is far from homemade and had a reboiled quality-revolting. Rather stick to the artisanal loaves, take them away and enjoy at... More

Good breads and great pizzas - when you are in the parkhurst or milpark areas pop in, as they aren't too fancy.
