Rifo's Cafe Vic Park in Scoopon

We made a booking over the phone without any problems on Monday for last night and had no problems getting a table. We arrived at the cafe early and were shown to our seats. When the lady saw the scoopon on the table, she asked if we mentioned the scoopon when we called up. I said we didn't because I didn't know that we had to mention it. Anyway, she said she should be able to fit us in or something like that, not as rude as the Spaghi's incident but nevertheless, it wasn't a very friendly greeting to someone who had given her $49 without receiving anything (yet) in return.

The deal was definitely a winner. $49 for two entrees, two pizzas/pastas, bottle of wine (we opted for soft drinks), two gelatos and two coffees. 

The entree bruschetta was quite large for two people - four pieces of garlic bread with fetta cheese and diced tomatoes. You could almost be full just on that entree!  The pasta and pizza were great - too much for us. Ice cream was from Il Gelato and came in a little ice cream tub and the coffees were fantastic. The restaurant was full and I think Dennis Lillee was in the house that night as well. Tonight is your last night to redeem your Scoopon so you better run - if you can get a table!
