I come here on special occasions or when I crave a pasta dish. They have not disappointed me yet. The ravioli is my favourite however there was nothing ordinary about the fresh oysters, melt in your mouth tuna carpaccio salad, tender 10 hour cooked blade steak, or the sweet and not too rich semifreddo dessert I ordered. They have a... More

Tucked out of the way in the Strand you would easy miss this. But word of mouth is clearly working. We just popped in fir lunch but were so impressed with the service snd the atmosphere.

The wine list was absorbing to a wine nerd and the service was personal and efficient. Loved how all the... More

Excellent ambiance, dark surroundings, very good menu and really first class food. Only criticisms: not many red wines, and as usual for Sydney, horrendously expensive (3 x retail) for a pretty average drop

This is an excellent restaurant tucked away in the Strand Arcade, fine Italian, first class service. Highly recommend.

There is no doubt that this is a very special restaurant and the food pretty spectacular. As displayed by the healthy throng of customers on a Monday night. However, it was clear there were repeat customers and new customers. We had to wait 45 minutes to place an order that was then delivered incorrectly after 75 minutes. When the bill... More
