Very good food and service, a great place for couples and families.
We came here for our anniversary dinner and we couldn’t be more pleased. On the night the fire alarm went off so the kitchen was down for a while. The staff were super friendly and gave us complimentary bread and kept us updated on everything. When the food came out it was delicious and freshly cooked. I loved the creamy chicken pasta and the truffle mash. What a great restaurant with delicious food and top service.
I tried this place for my birthday dinner and can happily say it's a new favourite for Italian in Sydney. The portions are generous, food is pretty authentic, and waitstaff are very attentive. With a view that overlooks the harbour it's also a gorgeous location
Very professional and friendly staff, enjoyed the lunch special which includes an alcoholic drink, a main and a hot beverage for just $22. Highly recommended.
The location is great in front of Darling Harbour bay so you can enjoy your meal and the view. Don't miss the happy hours, really good deals. Pizzas are good, tasty dough, gnocchi were fresh, good sauce and sirloin steak was perfect. Friendly staff but the service is a bit slow however I recommended this place, worth try it, it's perfect for a relax lunch or dinner during the weekend.
Love the location of the place. Would be even better at night. The ambience is good with interesting theme and music in the background. Food was delicious with filling portions. I had the spaghetti bolognese and the kangaroo steak. Presentation of the steak was remarkable. Only thing that I could comment on is the service. Took a while to be seated (nobody at the reception) and it was difficult catch the attention of the waiter to take our order as well. But otherwise, a must visit!
Spaghetti Bolognese was so delicious, Tuna pasta is so so, coffee is okay, sweet potato looks good to try. I saw they have live music in Wed night.
Very busy during Saturday peak hours yet they found us two seats without a reservation. Friendly service and food was commendable. Mains were delicious. The mousse was my personal favorite. Panna cotta was quite good too.
I had dinner in this place a year ago and I came back on the weekend.
On my previous review I was complaining about the portions, too small. Now are definitely bigger.
Last year rice seemed not enough cooked and this time was right. Bread with cheese is as good as it was. I ordered gnocchi the time before and this time calzone pizza, filled with cheese, double smoked ham, semidried tomato, spinach and pesto; it was pretty good.
What disappointed me was the arancini, I didn’t like the sauce and the combination of flavours; they were not traditional arancini.
Service was terrible! They forgot our drinks, they kept dropping things around, they didn’t pay attention to us when we were calling them and even if they kept walking close to us. The only one who was working good close to our table was a waitress who looked like a manager. And I don’t understand why they don’t leave a jug with water on each table! It was so annoying keep calling them every time our glasses were empty. They are too busy and messy to have the control of all the glasses on the tables.
A good thing in this restaurant is the view on Darling Harbour, but the place is very noisy. And because it was Saturday night we enjoyed the fireworks they make every week on the water. It can be romantic without all of those people and tourists.
It is more like a 3.7 hence score a 4, the set menu with entree, main, dessert and a beer for $35 is great value for money, my friends and I had that and it’s worthy, also they have happy hour which makes it even better, well done guys
A generously portioned meal and a delightful service. Diego, thank you for the suggestions on the order for food to come out, as well as what wine could pair with the dishes which we have ordered. Your attention to detail made our stay very memory, and the chef helping to prepare the birthday surprise with fresh servings of fruits was the icing on the cake, please pass on our thanks.
Overall a truly delightful evening indeed.

Seated outside so the only downside to eating here over the weekend is the music from next door was overpowering so it made it hard to have a chat at the dinner table otherwise the menu and food is good I would definitely come back and thank you to the staff for being so lovely.
Amazing food and ambience. If in Sydney you should try the duck ravioli 😋 absolutely divine and exceptional wait staff . Thankyou to Matti for making our dining experience pleasurable. 5☆
