About Us
Rich coffee coloured wood, large graphic pieces of local artwork, dark green leather, amber lighting, white linen
and large sun-filled front windows, make up the interior of Bar Corvina. While out on the pavement rests an abundance
of seating, including a couple of long, narrow, steel framed communal benches. Combined these features create a
dining space that is both sophisticated and homely. Old world charm with a modern edge. A place that reflects the
seductive, shimmering personality of St. Kilda.
 And then there's the service. Warm, efficient, capable, willing, knowledgeable and genuine. All fitting ways to describe
Corvina's waiting staff. From a coffee with friends to a formal work lunch, Corvina's staff ensure you are looked after.
Any questions will be happily addressed, from an elaboration on a dish to a recommendation on a wine. They're a great
bunch of people with varied interests and backgrounds, who all share the same dedication to service.
While the allure of Corvina is a mixture of the above factors, there is one final, ingredient that really sets Corvina
apart. The wine. On Corvina's 12 page wine list, you'll find everything from Barbera to Zinfandel, Semillon to Soave.
Wines from Italy, America, Germany, New Zealand, France and Australia all feature. There are also at least 20 wines
available by the glass. The list is constantly changing, as new wines come and old ones go. Some favourites remain,
but you'll always find something new and exciting. Prices are lower than average and range from $25 to $2000 a bottle.
While there are many premium, aged wines on the list, there's also a great variety of wine for under $50. Corvina's staff
will happily discuss the wine list, and if needed recommend a wine to suit your meal and price range. The list is
deliberately set-up to be user friendly, with detailed descriptions accompanying many of the wines and varieties.
In a street and suburb famous for its restaurants and cafes, Corvina takes its place with ease. It's the place to go
to when you want fabulous food, fantastic wine and dazzling service in a sultry, welcoming environment. Or it's the place
to go when you want great coffee - decaf, soy, double decaf soy - informal, friendly service and sunny outdoor seating.
Or it's the place to go when you want to kick back with a hearty breakfast, perfect Bloody Marys and quick, efficient
service.
Corvina is the place to go.
