Food was delicious but the service was not great. Took ages to take our order and forgot to bring our drinks until we had finished our meal and had to take our drink order again. However the pasta and pizza was extremely tasty.
Lovely outdoor restaurant by the weekend market at the rocks! Very yummy crawfish pasta and Ricardo pizza, my family enjoyed it a lot. Coffee was a little burnt but it will not stop me from returning :)
I've walked past this quaint restaurant in the rocks several times . Went here on Anzac Day . Most places were very crowded and we were lucky to get a table here . We had the Mexicana pizza and tortellini with a white sauce with mushrooms . The food was alright . Not really spectacular . But loved the al fresco seating area , good service and excellent location at The Rocks.

Caminetto is one of the many pretty places at The Rocks that you've probably walked past a hundred times, said how nice it looked, but not stopped in. Well this time we decided to stop and stay. It was a nice day, sun shining, birds chirping (well they probably were somewhere) and the al fresco dining was beckoning us.
Very good Italian restaurant close to the Harbor Bridge. Came here for dinner with a few friends. Very lively place with good Italian food and service. You get a feel of Old Sydney around this place. Loved it.
Lovely friendly accomadating staff and the breakfast was amazing and reasonable priced! Really enjoyed the scenary and the atmosphere around The Rocks.

I didn't expect too much about this place since I was more excited about VIVID! But wow, this restaurant was seriously beyond my expectations.
First of all, the service was really good despite the place being absolutely packed on a Friday night. Staff were continually attentive and polite. Thank you.
Secondly, food was just amazing. Okay, I was a little bit disappointed with the menu at first because their range was pretty small, but the quality of the food really rationalises the restaurant's approach. The bosciola and marinara pastas were one of the best I've tasted in a while. Pizza didn't produce the same wow factor, but it was still credibly delicious. Yummo.
And lastly, the vibe of this place was pretty good. We sat outside which was absolutely freezing, but there were some warm gas heaters that were placed near out seats. In addition, there was live musical performances which made everything really serene and comforting.
I highly recommend this place.

Two nights out in Sydney, two italian restaurants - I don't eat italian all that often when I go out, so it was a nice change. Catching up with a group of friends after returning from a cruise, we found ourselves at Caminetto on a busy Saturday evening. We hadn't booked, but a table for the six of us was found so we were in luck.
Firstly the setting is gorgeous - up against an original sydney rocks wall, in a beautiful old (what surely must be heritage) building - we sat outside under the stars on a lovely evening and it was simply stunning. Add a pair of delightful gentlemen providing live music and it was even more stunning.
The service was very good - attentive but not obtrusive and we quickly found ourselves with menu's and water, with our bottles of wine to follow shortly. We all shared some garlic and herb bread - just the usual standard, but it was crusty and delicious. We variously ordered different meals and I went with the penne arriabata - it was a lovely big serve (perhaps too big had I not been hungry from skipping lunch - so if you aren't starving, opt for the entree size). It was spicy and delicious - and I enjoyed every last bite. All my dining companions also thoroughly enjoyed their meals with everyone commenting on how full they were and how delicious everything had been.
I would highly recommend Caminetto - if for no other reason than the setting, but the food makes it even more worth while. I shall return!
Delicious Margherita Pizza, fresh bruschetta and the service was very good. Musicians out the front were lovely as well! Felt a little like Italy :)
Excellent little Italian restaurant in The Rocks, glad we found it! Delicious food, very friendly staff. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Sydney.
Nice food, good value in casual setting. We went mid week for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. Pizza and pasta dishes both excellent, good portions and we enjoyed our meal. Courtyard outside is pleasant and sheltered.
Fantastic dinner for a Sunday evening. We had the lamb shank, beef lasagne and special chicken breast stuffed with spinach and ricotta and served with a mushroom sauce. The service was fast and friendly and the live music created such an ambience. We could close our eyes and imagine being in Italy. Can definitely recommend it.
Enjoyed our Experience.. Four of us dined on the 17.3.15 at Caminetto, the dishes we all ordered were excellent. We did not think that the food or the drinks were over priced, all in all it was a fabulous dining experience.
Delightful Atmosphere. Went there over the weekend. Reasonably priced food but not the cheapest, was of good quality though, but that was not the best part. They had a couple of gentlemen playing Italian style music, one of which was playing the accordion, and it was amazing! I know I should be reviewing the food more but I just loved the atmosphere, it is enough to have me going back. Best part?.....They, at one point, were playing the theme to the Godfather! Brilliant!
Nice Italian restaurant in the rocks - busy and popular on a fri night but as a group of 4 we were seated immediately. Highly recommend the spaghetti marinara, bruschetta was also fresh. Mexicana pizza decent and spicey. Overall a solid restaurant and positive experience.
A hidden gem. This is a great place to eat if you love Italian food, it's up a lane way so if you stick to the main streets you'll miss it.
The main servings are pretty big so if you're going for dinner I say skip having lunch.
Excellent night out! The service was attentive but unobtrusive, the prices are good for the area, and the Calzone was delicious. There was live entertainment by two men with a harp and guitar, which topped everything off. All it needs is Creme Brûlée on the menu.
We walked around the Rocks looking for a menu that all six of us could agree on & finally (after 45 min of walking) settled on the first place! There was a queue & we didn't have a booking so weren't expecting a table. However we ended up being seated within 5 minutes! WOW! The wait staff were courteous and our waitress as good as they come. The food was also surprisingly good and all six of us were very pleased with our choice often course & dessert.. We are visitors to Sydney and ended up having a great night out with our friend that we hadn't seem for ages.
Great food, great atmosphere and location. Highly recommended!
Walk in cold to this place early Saturday evening - a lovely lasagna, prompt professional service, very nice coffee and cake with enjoyable live music. Most surprised with the low approval rating. Recommended.
Pizza. We had a couple of pizza's here had to come back, very nice ambiance the pizza's are very good, good wine nice staff. And you can add bits to your pizza that you like.....
Great italian restaurant with helpful staff. Spaghetti marinara had heaps of seafood and the fettuccini was fantastic. Good portions means you dont go hungry and reasonably priced.
So good! Such a hidden gem. The waiter was lovely and helpful. Talkative and friendly. The food.. Omg the food. We didn't want to leave one thing behind - even though we were stuffed we fit it all in and will take with us some amazing memories.
I've been to this place so many times, I love it! Amazing authentic Italian food with attentive Italian service and an atmosphere that is so welcoming and cozy that it starts a night out with great mood amongst good friends. Been to bday dinners here as well and they are so sweet to cut the cake and serve individual pieces with cream. This isn't even charged for as well which is great. I would highly recommend this place!
Good wholesome food. Went there with a mate for a mid week bite. Without looking at the menu we asked if they cooked a specific dish. We were told yes so didn't even open the menu and just ordered. The waiter came back 5 mins later to say sorry that had been removed from the menu and the chef wont cook it. We chose another dish each and the food we got was great. Shame though the waiter didn't know the menu!
Great family Italian restaurant, very informal and causal place, food size is very large and good value for money, if your looking for a quick bite then this is te place. We had the pizza and pasta which was very tasty!! I will return!!
Modest but ok. Family style Italian.
Caminetto was an authentic, friendly atmosphered restaurant. The waiting time for a table on a busy Friday night was under 15minutes. The wait staff were great and attentive. The food was delicious, quickly prepared & well sized. I was suprised at how great the restaurant was as I was a tad worried after reading previous reviews. All in all a great place for dinner or lunch. Authentic & well worth the spent money =)
Nice location. Nothing fancy. Our waiter was anoying.
Best pizzas and fantastic chilli mussels, been a fan for years, now live in Perth and each visit to Sydney its a must to visit!!
Great experience, was so busy which was a good sign everyone smiling and enjoying their meals and beverages. Must come earlier before Oysters sell out!!! Staff were lovely. We were seated quickly even though we hadn't booked. Will be back again. Loved the antipasto platter (med) and the gnocci was amazing!!!
This is my new favourite restaurant!! The location, food & staff are five star quality!!! The price is also extremely affordable!! Ordered 2 entrees, 2 mains + side dish & 4 drinks and totalled $147. It was an amazing experience and I will definitely be returning!! The service from the wait staff was so professional and organised that I HAD to tip (which i rarely do). 100000/10 would recommend.
Great food, quick service, though the tables are really quite cramped in.
Definitely worth it for the food though
Great pasta for vegetarians too and friendly staff. Ordered the spaghetti alla puttanesca without the anchovies ~ love the flavours. Will be back ~
