It permanently Closed down in July 2018- sorry to see it go. The veggie pizza was the best. Staff friendly too. It’s now KTown- a franchise of Korea bbq House
A decent restaurant. Nice pizza. Although I have only had takeaway. It was nice. I think it would be better if I ate in. I think that if I eat it again it might taste better.
Good food. Probably one of the best pizzas in Haberfield. Not the best though. It was still good though. Although I expected it to be better. Although though it was good
Great food, honest service. Seriously the best Italian food I've had out for a very long time. Will be trying to come back again to try the other food on the menu.
It offers the traditional Italian favourite pastas (Lasagne, Cannelloni, Gnocchi, Boscaiola are just some) and both Pizza Rose (tomato based) and Bianche (white-based) with crowd-pleaser toppings as well as specialty combinations such as the Fiori D'oro (zucchini flower, olives, anchovies and bocconcini) and Toscana (Salame, Porcini, Mixed musrooms, parmesan and mozzarrella).
When we walked in, and Linda says ‘OMG! This place looks fancy’. Indeed it did.
We ordered two pizzas (Ai Salumi and some potato pizza) and pasta with prawns, avocado, mushrooms in pink sauce. We also ordered dessert with Nutella Calzone and Ricotta Cake. For me, the highlight was the pasta. The fettucine was made perfectly! I could’ve finished the plate by itself and not had any pizza. Woodfire pizza was also really good. Definitely better than Dominos or Pizza Hut even though it’s like three times the price. Not a fan of the Nutella Calzone. It was a bit like a pide with nutella in it. Could’ve went for another piece of ricotta cake though.
Inside was a little cooler and quieter but still had a bright and welcoming atmosphere and lovely sense of space.
On arrival we noticed that the space is quite large, bright and busy. We are seated quickly, but then had to wait some time before anybody came to take our order. The menu offers many of the usual suspects - breads, antipasti, pasta, pizza and a few meat dishes. We chose to go for an entree each as well as a couple of pizzas to share. Squeak ordered the Bocconcini di ricotta & spinaci . We weren't entirely sure what this translated to, but Squeak likes ricotta and spinach - so
Always great. I've been coming here for the last 10 years (back when it was at a different location) and this place never disappoints. Have had great waiters, great food, and a happy stomach every time.
The goloso pizza is by far my favourite.
More hits than misses.. Honestly, found that the pastas were mediocre (and extremely small servings - they look more like entree sizes) but the pizzas are absolutely delicious. one of the best pizzas that i've had, the base is just outstanding. the majority of the desserts are also home made, had the special that isn't on the menu (passionfruit cheesecake) and BEST CHEESECAKE EVER. it was just so light, fluffy and not too sweet, just perfect.
would go back for the pizza and the desserts, but would give pasta a miss.
Was there for dinner tonite amazing food my favourite zucchini flowers highly recommended to dine there great and funny waiter named stephano
Worth a visit. The other reviews pretty much sum it up. Good food, good service. The owner came out to have chat with our table, which is a rare and appreciated thing these days. Great place.
Tasty, tasty Italian. A regular destination whenever the feeling for Italian strikes, their pizza's and pasta's have never let me down. I often see italian families having get together's here, which goes to show how good the food is.
The head waiter and owner have always given a warm welcome and their staff provide great service.
If you're a fan of true Italian wood fired pizza and fresh pasta, this place is definitely worth a try.
My top picks: Toscana Pizza, Margarita Pizza with added pepperoni, and the Spaghetti Marina. If you're feeling adventurous, order the Chilli Crab with added spaghetti.
TIP: To spice things up, ask for chilli oil to dip the pizza crusts in!
BYO is available too.
Great food. - Typical Haberfield Italian. Just like all of the great Haberfield Italian restaurants, this place is packed, they are usually frantically busy and the food is great. We waited AGES for our pizza because they do a roaring take away trade. But the Pizza rocked! As I said in another review, go in peak periods and expect to wait, try to complain and they won't hear you over the din of the customers, many of whom are happy for you to leave cause they want your table! Service was actually pretty good on the night we went
Amazing Pizza. This place has got a few tough acts to follow. That whole strip in Haberfield is very good, but Haberfield post takes the cake. The staff are friendly, it's always packed, and the food is the most consistent of all the Haberfield pizzerias. I love it!

Il Goloso - Bellisimo!. Born and bred in this great city I've had some amazing culinary experiences throughout my lifetime but I have never felt compelled to write a review on a foodie website up until now. After our experience at Il Goloso this weekend I couldn't wait to show my gratitude to the owners of this restaurant, Tony and his wife by posting this review. Basically my husband and I were eager to find a lovely Italian restaurant in our area in which to have our daughter's christening lunch. We were excited at the prospect of trying a range of Italian restaurants and deciding which would be the nicest for our daughter's Christening. Il Goloso was the second place we tried and we were pretty much decided after our first course, fried calamari with an aioli. Basically everything we'd chosen was so incredibly tasty we knew we couldn't go wrong with this place as the choice for our function.
Well we were glad we did because we couldn't have chosen a better place. The food was absolutely delicious and abundant (and that's an understatement!). The calamari fritti cooked to perfection, the pasta platters, al dente and the meat dishes very tender and tasty. Many of our guests were Sicilian and commented on how delicious the food was but my parents, the ultimate food critics, were raving about it. We were also so well looked after by Tony and he couldn't do enough to ensure that our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Being from an Italian background myself, many of my relatives brought sweets and cakes. Tony was lovely enough to put these on platters, plate them up on separate plates and then at the end individually wrap pieces of the iced fruit cake for the guests to take home. I just couldn't believe this generosity. I was also so grateful that he was happy to allow the children to sit on a completely separate table to do drawing and play with their iPads etc.. Nothing at all was too much to ask. I just couldn't believe it. So it is with huge pleasure that I write this review and say that if you are looking for a lovely personalised family restaurant for your function or a nice place to go with your family or friends for honest to goodness homely Italian cooking and hospitality you can't go wrong with Il Goloso - especially if half your family is Italian! Thank you so much Il Goloso, you made our special day.
Nothing spectacular. Pretty standard. Not amazing but it does the job. Pizza was a little on the soggy side, I got a supreme, and the pasta had a good sauce and tasted good, but not the usual BLOW YOUR TASTE BUDS OUT OF THE PARK kind of deliciousness that usually goes with a lot of jabber field restaurants.
Won't be back but it wasn't bad at all.
Great Italian feel. This restuarant is what you would expect of an Italian place nice fresh food, ol skool Italian music. good service from friendly Italian staff, whether i go with my family or friends this place has yet to let me down - love dining here
Great pizza and pasta. We have been coming here for 5+ years now. We tend to book for Friday and Saturday dinner before 7-30pm as when the place is full it can be very noisy and service slow. Pizzas and pasta are great - fresh ingredients. Good value.
I was invited by a friend via a groupon voucher tonight. Expecting the usual bad service that normally comes along with these I didn't have the highest of expectations - boy was I proven wrong. We were seated next to the pizza making station which was great as we saw the freshness of the ingredients being prepared from the freshly shaved proscitutto to the pizza dough it was great. Food was so good, seriously the best Italian iv eaten out ever. Service was nothing short of friendly and warm although I was there mid week so can't say how it goes on the weekend. If your looking for a full belly that's worth very penny seriously consider this place. I will definitely be back
Could not wait to leave this review - the best Groupon I have ever purchased. The atmosphere in the restaraunt is of a small family pizzeria, warm and comfortable. Myself and my friend were greeted and seated by the owner who was courteous and warm. The waitstaff recommended our dishes for us, and the food left us breathless. The entrees were aromatic and succulent - the garlic prawns were cooked to perfection, and even the garlic bread was out of the world. We have already decided that we're coming back before the mains came out - and that sealed the deal. We got a pasta and a pizza to share. The pasta was home made, and rich but succulent, and the pizza was generously dressed with prosciutto that must have been just sliced - yum!!!! We couldn't finish the pizza which was promptly packed for us and the waiter was out to bid us goodbye.
We are defenately going back - Il Galoso set a new standard in Italian food for me.
Bit of a mix up with our reservation, but it was sorted without a fuss. The menu has a good variety, but not so much that it's bewildering. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, they completely made the experience. The food is good, not exactly to my personal taste, but there was nothing I could fault about it. All in all it was pleasant and fuss free night, and we left feeling satisfied and well looked after.
Good food and friendly staff.. Very nice outside area with tomatoes and Italian herbs growing.. 2 metre's antipasto plate worth ordering
Great service & great food. The wait staff are always friendly & up for a laugh & Tony (the owner) is a very accommodating host. We have always enjoyed the food here & have been going since the old place.
Had my 50th Birthday dinner here & everyone was amazed at the fantastic food even accommodating for my Gluten Free & Vegan friends. My friends saying they were so impressed with the food & atmosphere they'd be back!
The Alfresco area is fantastic in summer & great for long boozy lunches. Highly recommended!
This has to be one of my favourite pizza/pasta restaurants. The decor is modest but the food is spectacular. They do pizza in the traditional way, thin crust, carefully selected ingredients and not too much to overwhelm the whole pizza. I always order the antipasti and a pasta - also simple and delicious. These guys really know what they're doing.
one of the best restaurants in Sydney. Very delicious pizza n pasta. The staff were really nice. It was amazing to see the whole staff members singing happy birthday to a little girl while bringing out the cake.
