Frommer's Review
Don't be daunted by the crowds around the cake counters -- and there will be crowds. For a real Italian experience, get past the mouthwatering array of excellent cakes and head to the a la carte restaurant section. The lunch and dinner menus feature authentic Italian cuisine, done very well. Or pop in for coffee and cake, or a gelato. If you can't get to Carlton, there's a cafe-style Brunetti City Square at Swanston Street and Flinders Lane in the city.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
