I know we booked late in the peace but we were made to feel so welcome and loved. The food to be frank was amazing and the service was incredibly attentive and perfect. All 3 courses were each light and impressive. I will be back which is a big thing for me

I had originally tried to make a booking and was sadly told there was no availability for dinner. We were only in Wollongong for a few nights. Not long after I received a phone call from the owner stating they had a table as they just had a cancellation. That was impressive as I didn't leave my number. We were greeted and seated by friendly staff in this small personable restaurant. There are no menus available and it's all written on a blackboard. Very different and actually refreshing. We then realised it was BYO which I hadn't bothered to check. So after the owner recommended homemade pasta to my husband he advised there was a shop nearby to get a bottle of wine or whatever, if we chose to. By the time we returned dinner was ready. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his pasta and I had the lasagne which was amazing. It felt family-like. To top it off garlic bread. We weren’t rushed or hurried to eat and run. The owner spoke with pride about making his own dishes with the odd story about his Italian homeland on the side. This was a wonderful and personable dinner. Highly recommend.

Steak seems to have been seasoned only with salt and pepper, but the seasoning was just right, so no other sauce was needed. Proscutto and buffalo mozzarella cheese were also fresh and appropriate in quantity. It was successful. I should order dessert next time. There must be a reason why others recommend it.
