Have been visiting this extraordinary cafe/restaurant for many years. It is just a wonder never to be missed. Noisy sometimes but not offensive, great food always and copious quantities, beautiful owners and staff and, if you haven't met the maitre'd Kenny, your life experience is lacking. This is the real, maybe "old", style of Italian nosh. Thank heavens it is being preserved - from the ravages of the new order where wholesomeness has been thrown away for novelty. Of all the places that I a bachelor frequent, this has to be the place that anyone can call home. Arrive alone you may but you will have to try hard not to be caught up in the buzz that makes Jolly so special.
I lived in Leichhardt for years and Jolly’s is easily one of my favourite go-tos. So great for a casual no-fuss great bowl of delicious pasta!! The service is amazing, all the staff are so so friendly and if you’re a regular, they definitely treat you well! My absolute favourite is the spaghetti bella vista!!! Ive had this time and time again! Tied second would be the gorgonzola (which i substitute the gnocci for spaghetti) and the crab pasta when its on the specials board! AWESOME PLACE!
The staff are Asian, but their food is served in generous amounts, and the service is friendly. Gnocchi is melt in the mouth, Pollo marsala is creamy and generous with the chicken.
