Chiosco By Ormeggio

I celebrated my birthday here and was pleased with everything. Given the numbers of my booking we were forced to do the Sharing Feast menu and no one left the venue hungry. The variety of food, portions and attentive staff was impeccable. Thanks to the team for making the special occasion that extra special. Highly recommended for a long casual lunch with loved ones over great food and drinks by the water.

My 3 stars goes only to Staffs who were very hardworking and also the fish which had a great taste. But unforunately the food’s quality was not good at all , except than the fish of the day we ordered. The roast potato was almost burnt. The pasta was low quality with the smell of sea water. We had the view of kitchen and not the bay, although we had a booked table and unfortunately there was no option in the website to choose the table. To be honest the money we paid was not worth it and in comparing with some other good restaurants it sits somewhere down the row!

Not enough variety on menu. Steaks MP at $15 per kilo and only 1kg TBone steak available??!! What woman wants to eat that much, no other meat alternative. Paid $48 for about 100 grams of swordfish which was tender but tasteless. The whole experience is too expensive for what it was. For the prices the standards and options should have been a whole lot better. Unfortuanely can't recommend with so many other restaurants that are less expensive, with just as good views and staff that are more attentive... (just across the road).... sorry :( But the Espresso Martini was yum!)

We had lunch on Sunday at Chiosco. We had the grilled prawns which were a bit mushy and although it didn’t taste off, it didn’t taste entirely right either. We put it down to sometimes prawns can be a bit “fishy”. My partner had the oysters and the prawn risotto. He had an upset tummy all night and I felt nauseous all afternoon too. We have done our RAT tests and we don’t have Covid so we can only put it down to a lunch that wasn’t fresh especially pointing to the upset tummy incident. This is not the quality we know and expect of Chiosco. We have been there numerous times. Super disappointing.
