We enjoyed the food immensely. My veal pizziaola was tender and very delicious. My wife’s chicken with mushroom and cream sauce was also fabulous. It took some prompting to get drink refills and the check.
Loved the food here.
Pizza and chips were fresh and cannoli was a lovely end to the meal.
Service was also really good.
The waiter found out it was my birthday so made me a rose out of foil.
They also made me a hot chocolate out of nutella which was delicious!
The wait wasn't very long and the serving sizes were quite generous.
Literally right outside Circular Quay station so is super easy to get to via public transport.
Good experience at Rossini Cafe. My family and I took a chance with this restaurant after taking a break on the Big Bus Sydney tour. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. There were a few birds in the area but they weren’t too annoying. The menu had a variety of items in which each person could find something that may agree with their palate.
I had the fish n’ chip which wasn’t too greasy and was good, my husband had a steak sandwich which was quite tasty, & the kiddo had spaghetti bolognese that’s she was happy with and left an empty plate. I also had a cannoli for desert and I’m not too sure what it is supposed to taste asI’m not a pastry person but it was okay.
Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the service at Rossini’s.
Before traversing the harbour en route to our Zoo trip at the other side of Sydney, we took a light lunch stop here at Rossini Cafe. It is a stone throw away from Wharf 4 where we will dock. This cafe serves authentic Italian with pasta and pizzas as their specialty.
We got two of their golden brown, well-seasoned and not so greasy Calamari for our starter. I suggest sprinkling it with fresh lemon for some zesty taste.
For pizzas, we got two 10 inch pans, a Ham & Pineapple, a personal favorite simple combination and Capricciosa, a house best seller. The latter was even better with its packed toppings of ham, olives, mushrooms, and artichokes on mozzarella and Napolitana tomato sauce. The dough was just perfect, crispy on its outside yet still giving a fluffy bite.
This cafe also serves a classic bottle of coke and the usual list of Italian coffee.
I've been to this café several times while being in the area. The food is always delicious and the service is prompt.
But, this café has a massive plus that I have not ever noticed at any other cafe / restuarant in Sydney. I have eaten all over Sydney cbd and around Sydney its self.
This is a huge bonus EXCELLENT SOLID TABLES! !!
EVER TRIED YOUR BEST TO HOLD DOWN THE LEG OF A TABLE OR NOTICED CARDBOARD SHOVED UNDER A LEG OF A TABLE
extremely annoying, frustrating, yes! Spilt drinks
Yes your paying for this do you really like@ it
Does this happen do you really like rocking tables
We'll I can say i would rather spend my time any day at Rossini cafe because it has excellent food a brilliant view and solid tables.
So just remember, has it happened to you!
Great location right on the waterfront at Circular Quay - the perfect place to sit and watch Sydney go by, taking in the views on the Harbour Bridge while having something to eat. We stopped by for coffee and afternoon tea on our visit to Sydney. Stepping into the cafe was like being transported into old school Italy! Service was good and the menu looked like it had all the Italian hits. We tried the panacotta, which was presented beautifully and tasted light and smooth -perfect for a hot Sydney afternoon. Perhaps being a Melburnian, I am overly sensitive to coffee - however, the coffee wasn't to my liking (burnt too). Overall, I'd say this is a pretty solid establishment - a taste of Italy on Circular Quay.
I am surprised that why is this place under rated. The place is well situated with some great food. Most of the times Italian places doesn't have good veg options but to my surprise, this place offered offered several veggies. We decided to have a veg pizza and Rossini eggplant which was outstanding. The only drawback is the place is highly expensive.
Ambience - 4.5/5
Service - 4/5
Food - 4/5
Value for Money - 2/5
I'm surprised this place has such bad reviews. T be honest the service was good and the food was decent. I don't need to mention the view because we all know how nice that is. But it is a little pricy !
We ordered the caesar salad and the supreme pizza. Very tasty food, average service and the location is very nice. However, it was very pricy for what it is.
Busy during lunch but worth the wait to get a table. The dishes are hearty and flavorful. Avoid the outdoor seating during the Arvo unless you want to get tanned.
Not the most budget friendly location in the city but fairly reasonable considering the location and the food portions.
Had a good quality & tasty breakfast. Really good & taste good. Staff are friendly & nice too. Bit expensive but loved the whole experience. Mario was a friendly & a fun person
Dinner was beautiful. We both enjoyed our meals and we’d Eat here again.
