The servings are very generous but bland in taste. The waiting staff were fine but when I made a complaint, the manager was rude, and not interested in good customer service. Will not be returning

Great for big groups, Mosskito has lots of room and is a good location. We went on a 2 for 1 cocktail night which went down very well! Food was well priced and good size serves. The waitress did leave us alone for awhile when we'd finished eating which meant it took longer for us to get a second round of cocktails, but overall they were very attentive.

Funky place, tasty meals. The ambience is good. It's central being at Clifton Hill. Can be interesting getting a carpark but otherwise it's a reasonable place to meet up with friends. good old favourite foods - parma!

I agree about the parma, its big size and I recommend it if you are super hungry!

The meals here are MASSIVE!!! and delicious. I've had the calamari a couple of times and also the parma. It is a bit of a waste with food though as everyone seems to only eat half.. I'd definitely recommend it here.

Big fluffy pancakes, open souvlaki, whole baby snapper.. Some of my favourite meals. Oh, and breakfast until late afternoon with amazing scrambled eggs.. & cocktails! Regular diner, great for a date or group of friends. Can't rate it highly enough

I went to Mosskito for dinner last Saturday night. I don't look at the menu as I always have the famous Mosskito Parmigiana.
It is my favourite parmigiana from anywhere. They are enormous, taste good and did I say the best? The parma comes with salad and fries. In past experiences it has been served with chips, but it was served with fries on this occasion.
I have also had bigger parma's from Mosskito in the past.
The only real downside to Mosskito is there self-service of water. To become a complete restaurant, I believe they should serve their customers water rather than making the customer self-serve.

Its a great, big restaurant and very lively and bustling with patrons.

The lounge area is great to sit, back, relax with a bite to eat and drink and socialise and watch the tv big screens.

If you are super hungry, then this is the place to go, as the meals are HUGE SERVINGS.

Sure I like to get value for my money, but I wish the meal sizes would be a little smaller as its a struggle to finish my meal at times and I feel bad to leave it and waste food.

staff are okay, depending on the person, some staff are very friendly and efficient and some others seem disinterested.

Huge place with Huge meals! This is where you go for the Big Screen entertainment area. When the tennis or world cup is on and Australia for tennis or Italy for soccer are playing the atmosphere is fantastic. The food is sometimes hit and miss but it is really dependant on who's cooking and if they can keep up! You need to get a nice waitress too because some are just 'over it'.. Don't let simple things deteriorate your evening because it really is a good place to bring friends and 'hang out' .. prices are a tad high for my liking or I would be there more often but definitely a favourite for our crew.

Mosquito is a great restaurant with alot of potential. It is a huge venue which is always immaculately clean and looking fantastic. Staff are a bit sloppy and carefree but the food is always of huge proportions and always amazing. A tad over priced therefore i only go there on special occasions. The open chicken Souvlaki is my all time fave

Mosskito is a bit out of place in Clifton Hill, it's not really a local hangout and seems to be mostly frequented by big groups from the outer suburbs. The food is okay, nothing special but there is a lot of it. The place can be very noisy.

I'd say it's good for big groups - a night out with your netball team for example.

Booked a table for 12 on a Saturday night. When we arrived on time, they said there was no record of our booking, and that there was one table available, but we had to leave in 1 hour because it was reserved for another group.

We were not happy about this, but there were 12 of us there, so just sat down. We ordered our meals, which came promptly, but when we asked for extra tomato sauce, we were given a bowl of sauce that looked like it had been sitting in room temperature for several hours. It was dry and crusty on the edges, and it just did not look like fresh sauce. We asked the waitress to give us a new sauce, and we saw her walk to a waiter's bench by the kitchen, and use a wet chux to wipe down the edges. She came back and placed it back on our table. We then told her that we saw what she did, and she snapped back that it was busy so there's no time to get more sauce, they are all pre-made.

When we said we wanted to speak to the manager, she said he wasn't there, and walked off. She returned 10 minutes later with the bill, which we very reluctantly paid and needless to say, left no tip.

Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!

A lot of options on the menu with great descriptions, some of the food was a little too salty. Food service was great, drinks were sometimes difficult to get, great atmosphere but we were seated at the door so got a cold draft everytime someone went in or out.

We were seated quickly and offered drinks. There were plenty of waiting staff who gave us time to read the menus before taking our orders. The food came out quickly and almost all at once for a group of 10 (pretty good). And the serves were HUMUNGOUS!!! Certainly the quality of food was great; hot, tasty, well cooked and well presented. The only thing that I found unpleasant was the music - it just seemed to get louder as the evening wore on. We had to almost yell to hear each other at the end of the night.

Skip a meal before you come to Mosskito, because the serving sizes are huge. And the food & prices aren't too bad either. Its a pretty big place, with a few regions - a funky bar, open fireplace with lounge chairs and TV screens and then a dining area. Every time I have been here it's packed, but I think this is for a pretty good reason, as it's perfect for a group of friends. There is a large range of dishes, from Greek to Asian, pastas, pizzas and parmagianas and seemingly most things in between. Sometimes the service has been a little slow, but they do pretty well considering how busy it is.
