Review Ventuno

Justine W

Top spot..casual but sophisticated. Love that you can opt for a simple pizza meal or live it up with lots of other plates. Peaceful location set away from hustle and bustle...

Came across this lovely place and sat down for a cappuccino and deconstructed mango cheesecake very impressed very nice decor great waterfront position friendly staff definitely come back for a full meal with friends

Natalie Davies

Absolutely delicious food and cocktails! I had the snapper and it was very good. Staff are friendly and attentive and the venue is not too loud which made it easy to converse with our large table. Also shout out for the non-gendered bathroom options this restaurant has provided!

Faraz Olfat

Friendly staff, good ambiance, quality food and drinks ! Specially their Negroni, using quality gin with antica formula vermouth ! FULL OF FLAVOUR for such and easy 3 ingredients cocktails! Their fries were also perfect 😍

I highly recommend Ventuno their pumpkin pesto ravioli is amazing as well as their pizzas. The views are also incredible and the service was too.

David Crombie

Dennis Tritaris

We come to this venue again and again and again the last 14 years and we always love the food and wine. But most of all we love the way the team treat us with attention to detail and enthusiasm. Thank you!

Gianmarco Fochetti

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant I have tried here in Australia in two years, beautiful risotto AI funghi porcini e spaghetti alla pescatora, great and kind Italian staff and Italian chef. Beautiful and relaxing location , especially during sunny days .

Tom Fitzgerald

We had a beautiful lunch. The Italian dishes we could not fault. The service was first class and the view was very nice looking over Walsh Bay. I would suggest if a sunny day to book at table outside so you can enjoy the views. Recommended

Monica Chirillo

Very good service and very very good food! The pizza is the best I've had in a long time

Caroline Leon

Staff, food and service are excellent. Great place for a large group

Kanak Pandit

Loved the food, ambience and the service. They have lovely collection of wine too! Just perfect place for every occasion

Michelle Haerewa

Love Ventuno - fabulous Italian food and wine and the view over Walsh Bay is spectacular

Peter Akiki

This is one the best italian places in Sydney. Great traditional thick crusted pizza with a thin base and incredible toppings. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the meat sauce was perfectly balanced. The antipasto platter was great to share and the meatballs were to die for. Highly recommend this place with excellent location and great customer service. Great for a romantic dinner or afternoon lunch.

Caroline Begg

Having travelled extensively I was astonished by the level of rudeness shown to us and our overseas visitor at this restaurant.This woman SHOULD NOT be working in hospitality, perhaps the ATO would suit her better. Food average, overpriced. An exceptionally poor experience indeed.

Janie

Felt so cheated by the $6 wood fire bread which looked like some normal looking bread given as complimentary at any Italian restaurants - picture attached! At the end of our experience, the server (some european guy) had the audacity to asked us if we wanted our change (of $30!) which we found it so unprofessional! Never coming back and never recommending this to friends. Appalled until today!

Anil Thomas

Great place for pre show dinner before the Wharf Review. Fast friendly service. Venue is well sheltered from wind and rain. Food is good. Extensive wine list.

Elaina

Food was actually really good, so was service. A tad pricey but decent portions and you definitely leave feeling satisfied. I ordered the ragu and the sauce was delicious, my significant other ordered pizza and both were good !! The "mixed" gelato lacked variety though, interior was nice and had a good view of the harbour, overall a nice experience:)

PM76

What an amazing location, beautiful atmosphere, good service but unfortunately the food was a very big fail. The antipasto was nice, meatball-rice balls and calamari. Very tender calamari and beautiful rice balls. The gnocchi were terrible, very gluggy not a nice texture at all. The fish of the day was the biggest disappointment, a piece of Barramundi plonked on some steamed beans, broccoli and Kale. This is something we would make at home, not a restaurant dish at all. Completely flavourless, not even salted. The Cavatelli with sausage was the best dish at the table out of our group of 6, very tasty and cooked really well. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant or return as I don’t think the food is at all up to scratch.

Osvaldo Roviglio

PESSIMA ESPERIENZA!! DA EVITARE!!!! Sono andato domenica sera 24/06/2018 e non c'era tanta gente. Ho ordinato una Melanzana ripiena per antipasto e per secondo un controfiletto di 250g di manzo. La melanzana era pessima ma soprattutto durissima e quindi inmangiabile e quando glielo detto al cameriere (che doveva essere il manager o il proprietario), non mi ha neanche calcolato, ne mi ha dato una spiegazione. Il controfiletto era secco, stracotto e non era per niente 250g e le patate erano crude. Servizio per niente professionale. L'unica cosa buona era il vino che era un Da Vinci Rosso di Montalcino. Sconsiglio vivamente questo ristorante. ESPERIENZA TERRIBLE!!!

WesternSyd Foodie

Good place for Italian at the rocks.. got the platter and cocktail both were delicious. Plenty of parking on main road and place is next to water. Mood lighting at night.

Showmethefoodie

Great food, fast service under pressure from the theatre goers. Beautiful outlook situated right on the wharves on the harbour at Walsh bay. Will be back for sure

Chicca Fumagalli

I’ve been in this place more than 2 years ago and that time I was a bit disappointed, I expected more from this restaurant. On my review I was complaining about my pizza: tasty but extra thin, like a leaf; and cheese didn't even cover the whole base. I was also complaining about the service. Besides that, the atmosphere was and it is lovely there. Saturday we were sitting close to the water and there were also fireworks and full moon, very romantic. We had gnocchi and I was pleasurably surprise to find pizza with fries. It’s a type of pizza usually sold on the north of Italy and Sardinia, I’ve never found it in other Sydney restaurants. I was curious to know why they have it on the menu and I found out that actually the owner is from Sardinia. I had a lovely dinner, definitely better than the first time, and even the service was so much better.

Conveniently located a short walk from the Sydney Theatre Company, we were lucky to be accepted as walk-ins on a Saturday night! Seated outside, our table was treated to a pretty view of twinkling lights across the harbor :) My favourite dish was the Polenta Chips with melted parmigiano cheese. Soft, salty, cheesy and utterly moorish! Yum! Our mains of Spaghetti Marinara and Seafood Pizza were also delicious. Unfortunately the Calamari Ragu (with gluten free pasta) was a bit of a miss with no Calamari to be seen! Overall, tasty Italian with a pretty view at reasonable prices! Also a great location for pre-theatre dining.

Alana Gatley

I attended this restaurant with my husband and parents, enjoying their Sydney Festival Feasts menu after a show on a Sunday night. We each received an Aperol Spritz and choice of antipasti then a pizza shared between two. It was the perfect amount of food and the range of pizzas and antipasti on the menu were fantastic. We were all impressed with the prompt service too. A lovely evening on the water.

Will Eat Yum

Had a Xmas function here. Wonderful relaxing area but also felt secluded and away from the hussle and bussle of the cbd. Service was friendly and relaxed. Some of the pizza was really good though some like the garlic one was a bit dry. Would like to try for just a normal sit down.

Taehoon Kim

I went to there with my friend Food was perfect but The service was too bad Counter he is really too bad ,He spoken Italians , I couldn't understand I felt racism I will never go there

SunilJain

Positives: Awesome Location (Walsh Bay ) Waterfront seating option. Above Average Italian Food. Great Service. It was walking distance from Pier 1 Hotel where I was staying. Negatives: Because of Theater nearby – you cannot just walk in on most evenings. Reservation is highly recommended. Crowded .. Being vegetarian – I started with Caprese Salad. Just one word to describe -Awesome. For main course I ordered Crudaiola Pizza – thin crust – well done – diced tomatoes , rocket leaves & buffalo mozzarella . I must say that pizza was one of the good ones I have had across the globe. With Chilled Pure Blond Beer too accompany – it was a great dining experience, especially after a long and tiring workday. After Dinner – the fact that I have to just stroll to my hotel room nearby was just pure bliss. Summary – Must try. I am surely going there once again whenever I visit Sydney again.

Gareth Hamill

Service here is outstanding so the management must have a great attitude and its filtered down. Food was above average and the location is killer. I will come back here again and again. Ok it's a little bit pricier but it's Walsh Bay and the locale is worth it in my opinion. Come here one Saturday or Sunday afternoon with friends and you'll never forget it.

✨Fabulous✨In✨Dubai✨

Great location, okay service but the food is nothing to write home about. Went on a weekday for lunch and we selected a number of dishes. The biggest disappointment would have to be the burrata dish which came hardly containing any burrata - in fact there was more proscuitto than burrata so I dont quite know why they even bother mentioning the burrata. I expected a nice ball of beautiful burrata and all I got was a spoonful of the cream inside the burrata sprinkled on top of the proscuitto. As for everything else - nothing too spectacular - the seafood pasta lacked flavour and the pizza was just ordinary. I will not be rushing back.

Greedygreedyguts

Italian by the harbour but nothing stand out or distinctive. I came here for a work function. While the food was okay there wasn't enough of it. For about $40 I had three slices of pizza, one arancini and a few tiny pieces of calamari. The pizza varied from dry to soggy. I left hungry. Staff were quite rude in shooing us away from around the bar because we were in the way, particularly the muscular shaved head man who seemed to be the manager. The menu was expensive for what you get and there are plenty of far better restaurants in Sydney.

Tony Stubbs

Was looking for a quick and easy meal with the kids but forgot about the pre-theatre crowd and with no booking things were looking grim. Staff were great as they saw I had 2 young kids and rearranged bookings to give us a table in prime position in the restaurant looking out towards the water. Pizzas ordered and delivered within 5 mins , kids happy and full and we were out within 35mins and I managed to have a glass of red as well. Staff were great and pizzas were tasty and hit the spot. Definitely be back next time if staying in this part of Sydney🍕

Candice S

Excellent service, beautiful waterfront setting and lovely food that won't break the bank. Nice for a special occasion or romantic lunch, Ventuno is a lesser known Italian gem in the city. I would also head here for a pre-theatre meal. The spinach gnocchi, marinara pasta and pizzas are particularly good; as is the arancini (or "polpette" on this menu). In terms of impact on the old wallet, we spent $210 between 5 of us, which included 3 shared entrees, 5 mains, a salad, and the biggest bottle of San Pellegrino I've ever seen.

Paula Mitchell

Really amazing and tasting food! I had the pescatori and was delicious and my husband had the shot pasta and the meat was extremely soft. Tip:If you not going to theatre come after 7:30pm... 😃

Audrey Svoboda

I dined here with my boyfriend one Saturday evening, and happily ordered the prosciutto pizza, spaghetti pescatora & nutella pizza for dessert. The food here is amazing, we had a bit of wine to go with the food as well. The pizza was just bliss, very topping-heavy with a crispy crust, the seafood spaghetti was a hit as well, and then I died when the nutella pizza was served on the table. I absolutely love nutella and have tried many nutella pizza's before.. This one was a stand out! Great place to go for dinner, we dined outside as it was just on the wharf, but I'm sure during cold winter days its probably best to book a cosy table indoors. (visited on 7/04/15)

We have been to Ventuno’s three or four times now and have never been disappointed. Ventuno is great for large groups – we recommend the Banquet menu and they have 3-4 different banquet options ranging from $45-$70 per person.

The star though was actually pizza! I thought I’d tried enough pizza that I couldn’t be really surprised, but my eyes popped at this gorgeous flavour heaven. The porcini mushrooms make this dish and I think they may have soaked up a little truffle oil which made them even better!

All You Do Is Eat

Let me give it to you straight. It was so freaking good. The pancetta was crispy and had a beautiful smokey flavour to it. The cheese was soft and so tasty, and the balsamic paired with it perfectly. The roasted tomatoes were also delicious. Another tick in the positive column was the size of this entree. It was so generous. There were not one, but two decent sized balls of burrata. That meant one each instead of having to cut in half and share! There was also plenty of pancetta and tomatoes to go around.

Nestled into one of Walsh Bay’s iconic wharfs, Ventuno is a peaceful, alfresco Italian eatery removed from the concrete jungle of the neighbouring CBD. With stunning views of the harbour, it is the perfect venue for a long, lazy lunch filled with authentic food, great wine and boutique beers. Ventuno is only a hop, skip and trot away from the famous Circular Quay, a tourist trap known for the demise of piggy banks. But just around the corner from this tourist hot spot, you can find Ventuno which is a secret gem loved by locals and a rare place where you can enjoy a fantastic meal on the water’s front without the crazy price tag. The atmosphere and service are relaxed thanks to the friendly staff and an abundance of outdoor dining where you can watch the world and boats go by. They can accommodate large groups, private functions, romantic dinners or a place for people to enjoy a d

Miss Feathers

We had a quick pre-theatre dinner at Ventuno, which offers antipasti, pizza, pasta, fine Italian wines and boutique Italian Beers. We ordered a bottle of wine, an I nsalata mista Italian a, mixed salad with balsamic dressing, tomato, mozzarella, tuna, braised onion ($13), Contadina, Mozzarella, eggplant, prosciutto di San Daniele, rocket ($26) and Golosa , tomato, mozzarella, ham, mixed porcini mushroom, parmesan, truffle oil ($25). The Executie Chef is Roberto Taffuri and he knows his stuff. The pizza crusts are thin, the toppings delicious and the salad, again simple and fresh, but also perfect. The Golosa was extremely moorish, especially with the dash of truffle oil, adding depth to the porcinis on the pizza. There are fantastic views of the rich people's yachts moored in front of their amazing pier locale and of the harbour. A perfect place to go with a large group or for a more romantic dinner with water views. I've been here quick a few times before and will definitely be back a

The interior of Ventuno is much like its food, simple and chic. It is painted almost all black, with dark furniture offset by

entre Lunch with work colleagues was a fun affair at Ventuno. The mixed entre above was delicious, my favourite was the very 'home style' meat balls. Mains was a combination of vegetarian and meat pizzas. The venue was stunning as was the service and weat

Buggles And Squeak

Squeak and I have been haunting the Walsh Bay area now for some years, and in that time have seen a number of restaurants open (and close). It is, no doubt, a prime spot due to the fact that it really is the hub of the Sydney Theatre Company's productions

Markherron

Rip off!!. Very disappointed. Ordered children's pasta Waitress didn't ask the children what gelato & drink they wanted (part if the meal)so they didn't have any and were charged $18 per child for a tiny portion of pasta! Husband ordered large cap that didn't come and then was told very rudely they don't do large and waited 10 more mins for a regular. Asked for tap water & they brought bottled still water that we didn't ask for. Then had the hide to charge a &30 service fee for very poor service. Atrocious!! NB NOTE: check menu carefully and also hidden costs in bill. Will never go back. Hard nosed staff with attitude.

Pgalettis

NOISY!!!. Have been to Ventuno, Walsh Bay, before and always found it very noisy and with the same menu. The menu hasn't changed in over 12 months. Go somewhere else if you are in a group less than 6 people. You have to shout to hear yourself speak. The service is also very ordinary with the waitress speaking little English and not understanding. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Chris Owen

Spaghetti Pescatore a Big Hit W Hubby. A quirky cocktail, a nice even hand with the calimari and delicious pescatore saw hubby happy. My meatballs were rich and flavour filled and the pumpkin risotto endlessly satisfying. Wait staff know their stuff and a great location. Happy customers

Delicious and homely Italian meal, fantastic staff. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Ventuno - and being a foodie from Melbourne as well as coming from an Italian background, the bar is set high! The restaurant has a beautiful decor and a really lovely, soft atmosphere. We ordered the rosemary pizza (very moreish and simple) and the penne ragu (delicious, comforting, classic ingredients that I'm used to eating at my nonna's dinner table). Aside from the delicious meal, the service was very good. I'd like to send a huge thank you to one male staff member in particular (I'm unsure of name, sorry!) who went out of his way to help me after I left my wallet behind in the restaurant. I didn't realise I'd lost it until hours later upon arriving back at my hotel. The conceriege called the Ventuno for me - this particular staff member had found my wallet and was already busy trying to track me down! Despite the fact it was late and the restaurant was already closed up, he was kind enough to stay behind and wait until we caught a cab back to the restaurant to retrieve it, where he was waiting out the front for me, wallet in hand! Thank you again for a lovely meal, and more so, for going out of your way to be so kind. What a nice restaurant and fantastic staff!

Kristin.m.yo

My special diet was not a problem at all.. My thanks to Ashley, the chef and the other staff that helped me out on Saturday night with a special meal for my medical diet. They made it so easy and no fuss. Plus it looked and tasted great. Very impressive service.

Aliceathome

Great food - dodgy service. Food was amazing! The pizza and the tappas style entree were fabulous. The service on the other hand was slow, waiter not understanding what we needed, forgot to bring water and failed to take our dessert order for 25 minutes. Food was great - hoping we had a dud waiter. Will eat there again for the food but service needs to be improved!

Jeanne Yu

Service could be improved. Came here for a team christmas lunch. service was extremely slow, with our meal taking over an hour to serve entrees, another 30minutes for one pasta and another 45 minutes for the pizza. in terms of value, at $50 a head we received fairly mediocre food. we received one rice ball each, one beef ball, like 3 calamari, 1 slice of rosemary pizza, shared one pasta, and then shared 4 pizzas (this is between 7 people). our table didnt even finish the food because we had lost our appetite from waiting. not recommended.

Giomar

Great service and food. Enjoyed my experience and look forward to going again

Fine Italian dining at its best. What a great find! Ventuno is without a doubt one of the best modern Italian restaurants in Sydney. Great location, a tasteful decor of maritime industrial history, excellent food and the best service. I suspect if we had a boat we could moor it at the wharf marina right next to the pier outside. Our small family group started with Leggera Di Mare, the ideal seafood starter dish for this beautiful waterside location. Then, the melt in the mouth Caserecce con Pesce, a light seafood pasta. The wine selection featuring various Italian regional wines was sensational. Normally we prefer quality Australian or NZ wines but we had the 2012 Andrea Oberto, Barbera d'Alba and instantly transported to the sweet vineyards of NW Italy. The kids menu has a good selection of pizza and pastas, it comes reasonably priced and includes a drink

Jayne Jackson

An ok pizza. Had a very nice meal. I had the vegetarian pizza and my partner had the margarita pizza.. Was much better than your local pizza delivery place but was expecting it to be a bit more special than it was. Service was a bit distracted. Not good enough to get me back through the door again if there was another option available to try.

LazyCityGirl

Why is the service so bad?. It is a nice venue with decent to good food (pizza was great but pasta too bland). overall good food. but service was just quite bad. had to wait ages for something to happen. it is a shame really. i would have enjoyed the food so much more if the service weren't so terrible. :(

Sebastian

Just found the restaurant by coincidence whilst at Vivid. The food was good, but I found the service quite pushy and uncomfortable. I personally felt as if the only thing they are interested in is to make money quick and then kick you out. I go out quite often in Sydney, but that is definitely not a place to go.

Alberto

Good: the food. Very good Italian food, pizza +++. Bad: the service. Been left a few times waiting for the bill when the waiters were busy cleaning. And I appreciate that vivid is on tonight, but cannot tell me that it's fully booked, 1000 persons, and the restaurant is empty, half table available! Thumb down!

Hobart

The good: This is authentic.... The good: This is authentic Italian. They are owned and run by Italians and the food/drink is spot on for the country. Lovely, lovely food and drink. Beer was from Sardinia, prawns PROPERLY de-veined and twisted, flavours delightful. Staff friendly. Price - not too bad for a Sydney wharf side restaurant. Walk if coming from Circular Quay like a step back in time - The Old charm of The Rocks then off beaten track through cobbled path past Victorian pubs. Also not too far - about 15 mins from Circular Quay. The bad: They stuffed up the bill - added a few things we didn't have. Thoroughly recommended if in Sydney, best done starting with a few beers at the Rocks though then take the route up Argyle.

Cam

Really good food. Great italian food. Liked the atmosphere and the service. I'll be going back here

Kirri

Absolutely Fabulous Function!. I held a birthday function at Ventuno with 60 people and couldnt fault a thing. We were allocated one waitress for the evening and her attention to detail was fantastic. I have nothing bad to say about my experience end to end. The staff were extremely accommodating and although I can be slightly controlling I had the utmost confidence in the staff and everything was just perfect! I couldnt speak highly enough or more positively about my experience with the staff at Ventuno and highly recommend this venue either for a function or a nice dinner with family and friends. Thank you Ventuno! Can't wait to return!

Trishgraham64

Fantastic Night Out. I booked a party of 12 friends at Ventuno Restaurant in Walsh Bay and I can't fault the fantastic service and food. When I rang to make the booking the manager was very helpful and was able to accomodate any particular dietary request without any issue. We ordered the $50.00 banquet option and it was incredibley generous and delicious. When we arrived they had reserved a lounge area for us outside overlooking the water and had set up for us to eat inside but when I asked if we be moved outside because it was such a lovely evening they didn't hesitate and reorganised it. The staff are mostly all italian and charming. The location is wonderful on the harbour and still feels like a best kept secret. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ventuno to anyone but in particular for groups - it has all the charm of a traditional italian family traverna but with glam of a modern Australian restaurant and a knockout location.

Jennakmrs

Nice View, Bad food, Bad Service. I went for dinner with a group of 12 friends. They were accomodating considering we had to add a few extra seats to our table, but the service was overall slow. No one was impressed with the food; the pizzas were below average. I think I've had better frozen pizzas from my freezer. Pastas were mediocre. For the view and price, you'd expect good food, but this place disappoints. The view is nice if you are taking someone from outside of Sydney to show them the waterfront, but I'd pick another restaurant. The food is below average and pricey at that.

Ben 001

Good food and setting by the way but the service is crap during lunch....lucky the food was good. All the wait staff are very rude and condescending and a tad racist in my view.

St Cinnamon

Simple yet very tasty. Excellent service from our waitress

Vilala

Ordinary Food & sub standard customer service. The 16yr old's at Dominos do a much better job of slapping a pizza together! & Kid Friendly … that's a joke right? I would never take my kids there EVER again. A waste of money & family time.

Emma

Over rated!!. First of all they spilt sauce down my friends dress and secondly we asked if we could have a desert brought out with a candle as we forgot a cake and the manager was terribly RUDE and simply said it wasnt his problem. They did bring out a desert with a candle but we could of had that done WITHOUT the rude remarks! the food was average nothing special and your pretty much just paying for the view of the water. If you want top quality italian food at a nice location i would go elsewhere! i dont know if it was just a bad night but in hospitality if you are having a bad a night you dont take it out on your customers!

Scott Watkins

Wonderful food. I especially enjoyed the ravioli di carne. Calamari & mussels were great too.

.the Feed It Blog.

Let them eat (your) cake. Worst service of my life. Management agreed to store the remainder of my birthday cake in the cold store overnight and when we returned the next day they tried to argue that the four of us had "eaten it all" last night, which we clearly hadn't. Where was the rest of my $60 cake? In their greedy bellies, that's where!

Angie Choi

Friendly attentive staff. Pizza was good not great but satisfying nonetheless. The staff was able to accommodate us with my toddler and did everything to make us feel comfortable. Beautiful harbour view and lovely interior. Will return!

Rebecca

Delicious. Great food, great location and loverly friendly staff. My friend's and I all had a fab night and all went home full. Big portions at resonable prices.

Reviewthis

Simply Authentic. Outstanding food, I mean like wow. Casual Italian eatery style, great share menu....I thin kthe best word to use to describe this place is "Authentic".... Grab a platter, grab a pizza, and a cheeky wine and enjoy the water whilst sharing with your loved ones...

Jc

Absolutely Terrible!. Left hungry and with no apology.... I went to Ventuno as a group of eight before seeing a play at the Sydney Theatre Company (just across the road). We arrived with ample time to order and they took our drinks order. We also ordered a garlic pizza bread and some calamari to share while we waited for our final guest to arrive. As soon as they arrived we ordered our main meals with over an hour before we had to leave. We told them we had to leave for the theatre and they said this wouldn't be a problem. After many queries to staff who told us 'it would be just a minute' only one guest was fed. The rest of us were never served our food. We had to leave HUNGRY even though we had informed them that we needed to leave at a specific time for the theatre. When we left they refused to apologise, charged us $25/head for what we had been provided (practically nothing) and then they overcharged the credit card by $100 (we discovered this after the event). We informed them of our concerns and were offered 4 free drinks and an antipasto plate. Absolutely ridiculous. Most of the staff were rude, unapologetic and the food we did get was not worth it. I would NEVER go there again and know that the seven diners I went with definitely feel the same way.

Trendilite

Awesome view, awesome atmosphere, pizza and despite what I read in reviews we had really great service for a lovely early Sunday dinner. Have to have selvaggio, marscapone e crudo and nutella pizza! will def be coming back here

Phil Redfern

This place has a great position between the residential wharves, with most of the tables outside. Our group of five went for an early (6pm) dinner. Food was simple but good. Big pizzas with a tasty crispy base. The biggest downside was the service which was inattentive and unsmiling. We got off to a bad start when we moved a chair from another (unoccupied) table to put on the end of ours; the poker faced maitre'd got very snotty about it. We all of us agreed that no tip was in order. Don't let that put you off too much. It's a wonderful position for a balmy evening. Good food, nice atmosphere and decent prices considering the location.

Adamo Leroux

Very Nice. It is a great restraunt. The service was good, the food was even better but the single waitresses "phew" they were hot man you despreate man but take a visit to Ventuno. I highly recommend this to anyone but is also a good family restraunt.

Dion The ITALIAN STALION

My dad Is best friends with the owner and now he made another restrant at terrey hills called cavallino he went halves with a chef with 2 chef hats his name is Giovanni pilu he owns pilu a five star restraint in fresh water

Sam

Service was poor, very avg pizza and over priced wine

Rick Kahler

Busy, friendly, good food. The service is friendly, but can be a bit slow and clumsy when they are busy. The pizza's are good, not outstanding and the pasta's are their strong suit. On Sunday's they have a $20 Beer and Pizza special after 5 PM.

Peter Schmalkuche

Great atmosphere good food good service fabulous location. Pre-theatre dining at it's best.

Chris

Great food, great staff, great location. The anti pasta platters are fun to share and the main courses are all large portions so there is no chance of going home hungry.

Intrepid

The menu was honoured by kitchen team for busy lunch rush, but I think Sydney dance co. around the corner has left an impression on the somewhat performative wait team.
