Ash St. Cellar

Italian cuisine, secretly hidden away. As we exited from the back door of building on Pitt Street, it was like discovering a parallel wizard’s universe in a Harry Potter film. Only that it’s bustling vibe was due it happy diners enjoying great food in a central and secluded location. The tables and ambience reminded of a Mediterranean bistro or trattoria, with a busy open kitchen and small intimate tables. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the Penfolds Chardonnay until late into the evening. For a Monday night, and to be so busy, it shows that this is a favourite local with business people downtown.

Ordered breakfast “hot salmon and spinach” thought the breakfast would be more substantial instead was literally a bag of spinach and few shredded smoked salmon pieces. No toast. Not even mentioned it was a salad, and there was no salads dressing on it either. shame because I enjoy this venue a lot for dinner and lunch menu

If you want a nice romantic night, I wouldn't recommend this venue. The music is too loud as we needed to yell to actually understand each other. No really ideal if you want to have a conversation and connect over dinner.The tables are placed very close together and because everyone is shouting over the music you can hear every word the table next to has to say/shout. Food is good but overpriced.
