La disfida has to be hands down one of my favourite Italian restaurants that I’ve tried so far! Ordered the zucchini flowers which were generously filled with goats cheese and deep fried with a thin crispy batter. The Gorgonzola gnocchi melted in the mouth and was very creamy and cheese (I recommend sharing this dish as it can get quite heavy and repetitive the more bites you have). The tartufa pizza is a must!!! Very strong truffle flavour so you have to be a truffle lover and because there are very few ingredients you can really taste each ingredient! Bookings not available for parties of less than 5 which sucks and it can get quite busy on the weekends so sometimes service isn’t the best as well.
When I have had garlic pizzas at other pizza restaurants, they have a white base so I was surprised that this one had a tomato base and I really enjoyed it.
I don't know if other people agree with me, but after eating the pizza called LA MOTTA I thought I would be thirsty, but the strange thing is that I didn't

Best pizza I have ever had in my entire life! Perfect thin wood fired base and not overloaded toppings, the house wine is also great. Highly recommend!!
A wonderful experience.
Delicious tuna and anchovies thin crust pizza, the zucchini flower stuffed with goats cheese and nuts entree was amazing...this was finished off with a creamy tiramisu (which we were delighted to discover didn’t have alcohol in it).
Great service and cosy atmosphere was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!
One of the best pizza restaurants in Sydney. The restaurant has a really cool vibe. Would recommend any of the pizzas. The creme brûlée and panna cotta dessert specials are also really good!
Nice amount of toppings on the pizza. The base was thin and crispy but the middle of the pizza got a bit soggy at the end. Ossobuca was super tender and not too heavy. Very enticing flavours that keep you wanting more. constantly changing specials that give you reason to come back :)
I loved this place when I first came here a few years ago, and I’m pleased to say that nothing has changed. Simple, pleasant, and cosy - a little piece of Italy in the inner west. Needless to say, the food is great. No fuss, and attentive service. Cent’anni!
Read so many reviews before taking my man out for his birthday here and it did not disappoint!! We ordered calamari and fried zucchini, rigatoni with lamb, cheese prosciutto and truffle pizza and the usual tiramisu for dessert. The calamari was a great starter and the fried zucchini was surprisingly nice and sweet. The lamb was so tender and went well with the rigatoni. We weren’t a fan of the truffle so it kind of ruined the pizza. Otherwise still nice. And the tiramisu was unique- super creamy and very strong coffee flavour. Overall this place had great customer service and is very family friendly! A bit on the expensive side but it was worth it.
One of the best pizza I ever had, remember to drizzle chilli oil on the side. Gnocchi bolognese was smooth. Lightning fast service. Gnocchi came out in 10min, pizza in 15 min. Yes love this restaurant, perfecto! Small portion for gnocchi though. Compared to the experience I had earlier today, this restaurant is a completely a different level. Thanks for making me feel better for serviing me with such good food and experience. Restaurant was full house too!
THE best ! Traditional vibes, delicious food and good wines what more could you want? The best in Haberfield and beyond, definitely check it out. It is quite busy so be prepared to wait a bit
Great food and exceptional service! My partner and I were impressed with their service, it was a 5 star from when we got there till the end. They offered us to keep our papas cake we bought next door in their fridge, asked if wanted bread for the gnocchi sauce and provided ice cubes with tap water - very attentive and kind gesture of them. Food was very nice too. La Disfida has become my no.1 local Italian restaurant.
Fantastic Italian food and fast service 👏👏 I’m so happy I was finally able to try La Disfida! Without a table booking for a Saturday night, we would’ve been turned away again as it was quite packed. We arrived 15 minutes earlier than our booking time but our table was ready and we were quickly seated.
We ordered the tartufa pizza which was a smashing combination of cheese, mushroom, prosciutto and truffle! The gnocchi dish featured soft pillowy pasta bathed in intense cheesey goodness. Finally, the mussel spaghetti is not to be forgotten as it was bursting with flavour- the marinara sauce clung well to every strand of pasta and mussel meat. A glass of chilled white wine paired nicely with these dishes. Although we didn’t end up staying for dessert, I would’ve liked to try their tiramisu.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to others and be more than happy to come back to try more :)

Absolutely phenomenal dinner experience.
Food was insanely tasty, arguably the best tomato sauce I’ve ever tried on a pizza, and the softest, most perfectly made gnocchi, just melts in your mouth!
And the rhubarb pannacotta was sublime!!!
Great service, great atmosphere, everything was superb. Thanks for the dinner.

We haven't been here for almost 20 years and it lived up to our memory. Excellent pizza, warm and speedy service, bustling family atmosphere. You can now make reservations which helps keeps things orderly and easier for families. Best pizza!
Get your pizza and pasta fix from this fantastic local gem! Great food, quick service, and a top spot. Wood fired pizzas with a thin base, packed with flavor and a delicious tomato base. Be sure to book as this place can get quite busy all week long.
Really great pizzas. There was an awesome vibe at this place. The food was honest and tasty, the pizzas thin and toppings well distributed. Would recommend
The food here is just exquisite. The timings limitations on weekends for upstairs is strict 1.5 hours which the warn you about in advance. I can't fault it the service bu staff was so good
We had the ravioli Special with truffle 4 cheese pizza, zucchini flowers and eggplant involtini. I had a whisky based negroni. Can't wait to go back
