The name Jamie Oliver requires no introduction. At the age of 44, the celebrity chef has a number of restaurants, television series and cookbooks under his belt. We came to his establishment on Pitt Street in Sydney CBD for a pasta fix to kick start the weekend.
Celebrating Jamie Oliver's new Veg cookbook with the limited edition "We Love Veg" Menu! I'm a firm supporter of a plant-based diet so to see more and more restaurants embracing that in their menu makes me extremely excited. Anything you get on the menu is a winner but I'd highly recommend the Mushroom Rigatoni and Grape & Radicchio Salad. Both have an intensity of flavour and uniqueness that stood out to me.

My thanks to Jamie's Italian for the invite.
Jamie’s Italian has never disappointed in both food and service. I have (very embarrassingly for my diet) been here too many times to count. I always order the same dish (truffle tagliatelle) and it is my all time favourite. The cocktails (Amalfi Spritz) were ordered by my friends and they loved it. Their desserts have also improved during the times I have been there. Thank you for always providing me and my friends with consistent quality food/service.
Came here for my Birthday dinner with my sister and her friend and had a pretty good time. We had made a booking prior and came in about 5 mins late we still had to wait for a table so there was no point of booking as we had to sit at the bar for 15 minutes which was an inconvenience. For drinks I had the refresher and I also tried the ginger mojito but I preferred the refresher it was really good. Once we finally got seated we were put at a booth sort of table and it was like a u shape and was a bit awkward to sit at as the table was so close to the seat it made me feel trapped. For my main I had the 'Tagliatelle Bolognese' which was $26 and is described as pork & beef slow cooked with red wine, topped with pangrattato & Parmesan. I really enjoyed it and my sister tried it and she loved it and kept going back for more. For dessert we got the epic brownie & poached pears to share and the brownie was amazing. Def recommend if you are looking for some good Italian in the cbd!
How do I rate this place 10 out of 5 stars?? One must eat at Jamie’s Italian to know the true meaning of food pleasure. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the $40 lunch deal. Such great value for a 5-star three course meal and a beverage! I had the Truffle tagliatelle: handmade pasta served in silky black truffle butter with aged parmesan, nutmeg & more shaved black truffle, and I also ate Spaghetti Alla Norma: a Sicilian pasta dish of eggplant, chilli and basil in a rich tomato pasta sauce w/ hard ricotta. 🤤 My photos don’t do it justice. There was also a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert but I was too involved and forgot to take a picture.
Friendly staff, delicious food and it feels like food that your mum's cook for dinner. The place was busy, packed and it feels very cosy. The steak was really good, packed with flavours. I closed my eyes while eating the steak while on a date, it was that good. Worth to try!
The Downside was the price, it was pretty expensive for a steak, 49 dollars for one but it was worth it!
Would recommend for date/dinner!
Food was good, the squid ink pasta was really nice only downside would be expecting more from this place n seating is small
Happy to come back again and try the new menu as it has been a few years
Always come here when they have their amazing specials! The pasta is all freshly made and the right textures are all there. The prawn fettuccine has a hint of chilli that really makes the dish pop while the truffle tagliatelle is the perfect creamy and buttery and earthy combination.
Finally tried one of Jamie Oliver’s restaurants! His dishes are as good as how it looks on TV! The pizza, the pasta, even the fries are to die for!
I went there with my partner on a date. The staff was very helpful with the menu, the wine from Italy was amazing. If I had to recommend one dish it would be the primavera ravioli.
Good service and good food is what we expected and that's what we got.
Our experience at this rustic-styled Italian restaurant turned out to be better than expected. Of course, the anticipation of visiting a celebrity chef’s restaurant naturally generates some level of excitement, and for this occasion at least (unlike some of the other unfortunate reviewers), we were not disappointed with the service or the food or the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and our mains were tasty and full of flavour. The only downside was the ice cream in the dessert came out partially melted, but the summer evening was hotter than usual. We’ve been to better rated restaurants in the past, but we managed to enjoy our time at Jamie’s Italian restaurant in Sydney and have no qualms in recommending it to family and friends to try!
Amazing restaurant, will highly recommend to anyone looking for great Italian restaurant in the city. Booking is highly recommended, as we found walk-ins had to wait more than 1 hour (we luckily had booked), when we were leaving, there was a long queue outside.
Loved their octopus ravioli as well as the cheese cake. Will definitely return.
The service in this restaurant is awesome, the waitress looked after us really well and we felt welcomed.
The food is very nice as well, we had the Famous seafood pasta and Pork belly, they are all cooked to perfection.
The Ultimate Plank is very nice and I really like the small touch of using Italian tomato sauce cans as base.
Kids meals are also very tasty and healthy.
The atmosphere couldn’t be more cosy and welcoming.
This place is highly recommended!
As a big fan of Jamie Oliver, we saved this spot for our last meal in Sydney. The restaurant itself was quite dark (brightness increased in photo). The waiter was very nice. We had the lunch special which runs through until 5pm and mine was the salad.
I must say... it was a HUGE salad. I had extra salmon topping and it went really well with the other parts but I thought it was too salty for my likings. As for the bolognese pasta, my sister says that it was a decent plate!
