Review Anchovy Bandit - Prospect

We hadn't been to Anchovy Bandit since it first opened but had good memories of the food so after a movie at Palace Nova Prospect we headed here for dinner. The staff are fantastic- it was really busy but they were all smiles and really prompt with their service. Great food! We tried several entrees and a pasta but no pizzas (but they looked really good so I think we'll be back to try one!). Plenty of wines by the glass which was handy.

Their cocktails are THE BEST! 😍😍 I also have to say that I’ve rarely met such amazing and committed wait staff - the two girls who served us yesterday were FABULOUS!! 🥰🌈 The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that I don’t believe there are enough good vegetarian food options 😊😊

You know when food is so simple, yet inspiring & makes you want to go home and to recreate it! This is the place. How they even make pickled squash & fennel taste out of this world! Highly recommend the feed me banquet! Can’t wait to go back.

Covid times: only doing outdoor dining and takeaway food - we can still eat out safely 🙂. Dinner at @anchovybanditbar - been meaning to come here for ages, and we are very glad we made it! The food was amazing, and the service was great too. . Blue Swimmer Crab: crème fraîche, roe, toast. Wow this snack dish was delicious! The roast was soooooo good 🤤🤤🤤, and worked so well with the crab! . Spencer Gulf Prawn Sando: garlic, chilli butter. The chilli butter sauce was quite spicy, and gave this dish a really nice kick! Yummy 😋😋. . Grilled nectarines: wow I really loved this dish! The nectarines were very sweet, with just a tiny bit of tartness. Yummy 🤤🤤. . Scallops and cucumber: this dish has an amazing presentation. The scallops were sliced and placed in between slices of cucumber. Very fresh flavours! . Casarecce: pork sausage, kimchi, chinese broccoli. I didn't know what to expect for this dish, but we wanted to try it anyway, and we are certainly glad we did! The kimchi wasn't overpowering in any way, and just added nice bold flavours. . Woodfired Cabbage: mushroom xo, parmigiano. Loved this cabbage! So smokey and full of yummy flavours 😋😋. Can't believe they can make cabbage taste so good 😅😅. . Yoghurt sorbet: caramelised white choc, cherries, basil, crostoli. Very nice flavours for this dessert dish. Great combination of ingredients that all worked really well together. Can't complain at all!

6 stars ⭐️ this place is a total vibe. We had the 5 course feed me, and were astounded! Cocktails are delicious too! The staff are amazing, so attentive and friendly! Great service!

Taste was okay. Size was smaller for this price. Better options available out there taste was just okay not as i was expecting. Less cheese in my opinion. Wish there pizza was as tasty as their fancy names though.

Anchovy is always a pleasant dining experiencing with consistently good food and friendly service. Always book a table as the place is busy! Apart from awesome pizza, anchovy pumps out a mean pasta! I’m happy with the incredible bread and salumi for starters - so good!

I haven't been back since 2020 and so much has changed!! the starters were my favourite and their Bandito Pinot Noir was a hit. We sat outside and the weather was perfect but forgot how loud prospect road can be sometimes. We really enjoyed the stracciatella and peach salad, the pappardelle was a let down which is so sad because it looked fab on teh gram. a-lot of the pappardelle were stuck together so we were eating layers of pasta and there was a little too much lemon juice. The customer service was great but felt a little pushed at times for main to come. But overall, i am always keen to go back as their pizza is always good!!
