This is one of the best Italian restaurant I went in my life,and I am Italian so I know what I am talking about. The venue is perfect. Even though it was quite cold outside, inside was very comfortable to sit,very warm and cozy.
The focaccia bread is the most authentic Italian focaccia bread I ever had in Sydney.
It was the first time I tried Fiorentina and I was not disappointed. The steak was just finger-licking good, and the potatoes,oh my god...I wish I can cook them like that!The dessert was such a beautiful blend of flavours,it was the perfect cherry on top of an amazing dinner!
They have an huge wine list and,most important thing,you can put truffle in any dish on the menu.It is like a dream come true.
We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary and I am looking forward to spend my birthday this coming Saturday.
And to top it all off, all the staff was really helpful, patient and courteous. A really perfect package if you want to spend a good night,with good food in a really lovely place!
We went for our wedding anniversary on a recommendation from a friend and we weren’t disappointed, the ambiance of the place was incredible, the service was brilliant and the food was amazing!! The handmade pastas are delicious, the lamb Raghu was mouth watering. I cannot cannot wait to book again.
Pleasantly served...authentic handmade pasta...definitely the lamb ragù was delicious and grilled vegetables and finished with traditional tiramisu and creme brûlée....recommend you try...and their coffee is excellent!! Well done guys!!
So delicious, so authentic, and really fast delivery. Their ragu tagliatelle is second to none! They don't do that thing so many Italian restaurants in Australia are guilty of doing which is making all their sauces with condensed tomato paste and an overdose of herbs. This is just right.
Serving up traditional Italian food from the regional area of Emilia-Romagna, a visit to this Bronte Road restaurant is like a trip to Italy, without the jetlag. Emilia-Romagna – the area up the top of the boot – is known for its fresh produce, strong flavours and homemade pasta – and that’s what you can expect from Osteria Riva. No pizza.
I recommend the antipasto plate, which comes in two sizes. It sets the tone with a pile of Italian cured meats and cheeses that are of the highest and freshest quality.
Very traditional Italian dishes featuring many handmade pastas.
The crab and artichoke pasta was spot on.
Lots of fine Italian wines to choose from served with efficiency and care.
Perfecttttttttttt dishes with truffleeeeeeeeeeeeee! that's allllllllllllllllllllllllll ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(omg why have to write at least 140 wordssss)
Nice and cozy restaurant. It's a lovely place to catch up with friend in a cold evening. Their food was lovely, simple but flavourful. Staff was really friendly, made you feel very comfortable.
Was recommended this place by an Italian friend saying that the pasta here is just as good as what he had back in Italy, if not better than some, and definitely one of the best in Sydney.
Been back here three times since and the food and service never disappoints. I can't quite remember the names of the dishes I had each time but they were all amazing. The Entrees, Mains and Desserts were all good, along with their daily specials. The portions are great at reasonable prices.
Theres almost always street parking out front around dinner time so it's quite convenient. Though make sure you always book, or arrive just as they open otherwise there's a good chance they'll be booked out for the entire evening and waiting won't even be an option. Learnt that the hard way. ಠ_ಠ
Very good Italian restaurant. The entrees were delicious although small portions of the antipasto platter but I think plenty for 4. The pasta dishes were outstanding and very generous portions which we were all happy with because we thought after the entrees we'd recieve small mains. A bit pricey but had a lovely experience overall.
This tiny, adorable restaurant is everything you would expect from a genuine Italian trattoria/osteria. Good food, warm atmosphere, the limited number of tables help to create that nice buzzy environment without the noise that sometime big crowdy restaurant have. It's the perfect place to go if you wanna surprise your woman with a truly romantic experience. Can't wait to be back!
Traditional italian food
So many memorable dishes
It has been a long time since we've eaten italian this good
Wonderful atmosphere and service
Good wine list too
Definitely recommend for date night or dinner with family/friends - should book as it gets very full
Fantastic staff, incredible food and lovely decor. Vegan options weren't on the menu but the staff were very happy to change things up which was great. Would highly recommend!
Really loved this place tonight. I only take off one star because I think the prawns were frozen not fresh Australian prawns. The service could have also been improved with more staff. But otherwise the staff are lovely. Our pasta was cooked perfectly and entree was delicious. I’m not sure why there are so many criticisms about the portion sizes they are huge!! Thanks
Such a gem in Bondi Junction! The wagyu sirloin is amazing and incredible! It's cooked perfectly, crispy outside and it's just like melting in your mouth🤤🤤 Tiramisu is another must-try👍🏻
It is such a beautiful, charming restaurant and the food is absolutely delicious. Mario and the owner were so friendly and helpful ensuring we were happy at all times! Thank you! Highly recommended! 😃
What another amazing night here! We’ve been 3 times now and each time gets better and better! They even got me a candle on my almond pana cotta for my birthday! Such lovely staff (even nicer if you speak in Italian to them), and such quick and easy service. Great wine, great atmosphere - it feels the most like Italy in Australia I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve lived in Italy for 10 months). Can’t wait to come back 🤤 xx
