I dined here on a Wednesday and used a $20 redemption from The Fork. We were offered free bread which was fresh and served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For entree we had the proscuitto and mozzarella. The proscuitto was thinly sliced and the mozzarella was creamy. For main, I had the special for the evening which was fusilli marinara. The sauce was so rich and delicious, i really enjoyed it. The pasta was cooked perfectly and there was plenty of seafood. The restaurant is small, intimate and not too noisy so good for catching up with friends. I would return again to try some of the other dishes.
Fantastic spot in the CBD for authentic Italian dining. A popular choice for the business lunching crowd! Began with the antipasti plate of prawns and calamari; the perfect introduction to whet the appetite! The house specialty Pappardelle Bolognaise is so beautifully constructed and rich with flavour, as is the house-made Spaghetti Mach2 pasta with prawns, zucchini, mint and a touch of chilli! Upstairs is light, bright and full of action as the chefs and waiters buzz about. Downstairs is intimate and chic, with a very attractive bar and exposed sandstone walls. It's the sort of place you could imagine the Godfather dining in a quiet corner. One would be hard pressed to find better pasta in Italy! PS. If you are looking for a romantic spot you must request downstairs!

Came here for brunch. I got the corn fritters which came with bacon and avocados and my sister got pancakes. The service was good and we enjoyed our food.
A lovely afternoon drive to the airport it was, which almost made me feel like I was going places – flying to an unknown destination, to meet the unknown. Even though I wasn’t going to fly, the event did have me meet a lot of new people, explored delectable new tastes, and feel like I was in Italy for a little bit.
The benefit of off site webinar in the city is we usually get to enjoy a long sumptuous lunch as a reward. I am very predictable when it comes to ragu pappardelle and order them every time they appear on the menu. This time I resisted the strong urge and was determined to order something else other than pasta. I am glad I did. My veal with prosciutto green beans was satisfactory to say the least. Veal was tender, moist and not over cooked; the lemon sauce was just enough to cut through the two types of meat without being too citrusy. The green beans wrapped in prosciutto was a nice side and didn't make the dish too meaty. In addition the service was very attentive, our water glasses were constantly topped up. It was on the pricy side for everyday lunch if I had to pay for it, most main courses were around $30 roughly. But it is not a bad option for business lunches.
Went here for dinner last night, fantastic meals all round for the 4 of us. Great service which was also a bonus. We will be back for sure next time we visit Sydney.
The restaurant had a great feel too it, cosy but nice.. Enjoyed seeing the fresh produce in the window!
Came here for a relaxed lunch meeting. I tried the parmigiana and my companion had the porcini and truffle mushroom pasta. Found the breadcrumbs on the parmigiana too soggy but it was great flavourwise. It had a rich tomato flavour, light parmigiana cheese and just a perfect hint of basil. Service staff are quite attentive.
Great looking cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating that delivers on service and food . Ricotta and blueberry pancakes were delicious coupled with lightly caramelised banana. The menu is a little more expansive than listed here and there is also a great range of muffins and pastries etc. Look forward to heading back for the lunch menu when the opportunity arises.
Great mortadella!!! Love it and so good with fresh rocket! Thumbs up for me. Customer service was great and very friendly. 👍 definitely a winner!

The Soft Blue Cheese is rich and creamy with a buttery texture, while the salty bitter blue veins shines through to define the cheese. It has a sticky taste sensation in the mouth and you can certainly taste its richness.
We had a lovely private function at Mach2 last night.
We were spoilt with fantastic service and ambience let alone the amazing dishes that came out one after the other. The charcuterie boards were overflowing, the arancini balls were crispy outside and tasty, mozzarella creamy, parmigiana perfect and the dessert to die for! We had an absolutely lovely night - highly recommend - thank you!
Great cosy atmosphere, friendly service and good food. This is a truly fabulous dining experience. We will definitely be coming back to this one in the near future. The downstairs dining area is not to be missed with the substantial sandstone walls and historic fireplaces.
We shared an antipasto platter for one, spaghetti machiavelli (picture is of half serve) and the pannacotta. Everything was delicious and I would highly recommend the antipasto platter as it has a wide variety, and also highly recommend the spaghetti machiavelli - it's creamy but not too heavy.
Caveat. I went here with regulars and as such get preferential treatment. I loved this place. Food was great, wine was fantastic. Relaxing afternoon with an engaging host. Try the home made lemoncello and tiramisu!
Nice Italian trattoria for a business lunch. Friendly service, great food, great espresso. Prices are on the high side, but the quality of food and service are also high. I'll be back.
Very cozy hidden gem in Sydney CBD area, food was good but the ambiance was fab.
Excellent for a breakfast before boarding a flight out of beautiful city of Sydney
Delicious array of traditional Italian cuisine, great sharing boards and I chose the fish...simple yet awesome..
