Appetito

Go here! Nice staff, fast service and delicious food. A good location and they have good hours. Toilets are clean. They had a delicious Special of appetizer, main and beverage. We were too full for dessert. There is nice indoor or outdoor seating. Try the ravioli and the sweet potato soup. The gnocchi is also delicious. Nice selection of wines and beer. Good dinner after the opera house. Loved it!

There is a great bar upstairs that had the same menu as the restaurant. Beautiful high ceilings and booth seats. You can order drinks from the bar and take them downstairs when you go to your table. The restaurant has a great ambiance too. The sandstone walls add to the old world feel. The pizza is woodfired, generous and served quickly. The pasta is very flavoursome. I had the lamb ragu which was rich a delicious. The creamy chicken pasta was good too, but the ragu was definitely my favourite. The dips and fresh woodfired dough is a great appetizer. Pasta mains start at $22 and go to about $34. Pizza is about the same. Mains are up to $48 per plate for steak and some seafood dishes. The service is very quick and the staff are very polite.

Friendly staff. Arrived on Australia Day without booking and they had amazing seats for the fireworks. Drinks arrived quickly so did the food. Tried the spatchcock it was yum, the seafood hot pot had fresh mussels and clams but the sauce was watery. The pasta was fresh as advertised. We had to evacuate due to a fire alarm and the restaurant offered to re-cook our meals. Since I wrote this review: the waiter asked if we would like our food to be remade we all declined but requested dessert menus. The waiter removed 2 plates and left one on the table. Then went to have conversations with the table next to us, took orders, recommended olives, served the food. All this while we were waiting for the menus. So we got up to pay and the cashier asked us how was the food, so explained the wait.. she argued and said “are you telling me this so that I take money off the bill?” We explained we are happy to pay the full amount however it was just feedback but the attitude was not required. They did wave the weekend surcharge. But not coming back again.

Tanks Chris for your kindness and lovely treatment. I ordered margarita and chicken pasta with mushrooms and it was fantastic (see the photos) Then I tried tiramisu and it was as perfect as the food. I was little bit greedy and ordered a cappuccino and was very good. All staff are very friendly and helpful. The price as you should expect in this location little high. Try TIRAMISU

The pizza was delicious. It tasted like butter maybe because they use butter instead of oil. The ice cream was "meh" given its price and and claim. They claimed that the ice creams are made daily! It didn't taste anything like that and there were ice particles in it. Unfortunately one of the waitresses was being harassed by some drunk old customers and apparently she thought that she should take the revenge on some other customers like me by being rude. That's not fair, that's not professional. Other waitresses were polite tho.

The Gluten Free pizza base was delicious and as I am a coeliac they cooked it in the regular oven and not in the wood-fired to be safer which was great. Cute classic Italian feel with the red & white check table cloths and an outdoor terrace. Friendly relaxed service. I'll be back to try the Gluten Free pasta!
