Andiamo Trattoria Chippendale

great venue with great vibes, food was definitely up to standard although abit pricey. The staff serving us was very kind to pour water into our cups while we were seated. However there was no mention of charge in water when we were approached directly while seating "still, tap or sparkling water?" In addition to this, while 10% surcharge on the overall ordering on weekend was made sense, there was a seperate surcharge for water too😭😭, all in all, although we were very happy with the food itself it all came down to being pricey when we only ordered 2 pizzas and 2 pasta

Hard to settle for a 4, so I'm giving this place a 5 Star and will be recommending to all those wanting a Pizza/Italian/Wine experience. Manager was under stress but was effective and warm. The place has a nice outdoor area with heaters, but it has this enclosed feeling about it with lovely ambience, giving you a view of the kitchen where it all seemed clean, professional and so fast. We were told a 30 -40 min wait awaits us. We waited less. Pizza was so delicious, the crust was among the best I've ever had; semi crunchy, semi soft, and lasted in its fresh form longer than most. The wine selection is broad. My choice of the first wine listed (Italian) was top notch. Garlic bread - I would add more garlic to it ( the bread itself was so lovely). With the Prawns in the tomato based sauce - given the price, I'm inclined to suggest increasing the portion or selecting bigger prawns, the base of which was lovely. My guest was impressed. I recommend giving this place a try.

A little bit average if you’ve grown up with Italian food but other friends from Australia enjoyed it better. The staff were really nice and helpful. A big minus for me is the toilet not being in the restaurant (just outside) where I encountered 2 giant cockroaches! I’m thinking they might not be managed by the restaurant? So I had to refrain myself from drinking all night to avoid using those toilets again!

Terrible service and food! We ordered the Sicilian shared entree and the Penne alla vodka. When ordering the vodka pasta we asked for there to be no chilli included, a request that is usually granted. The waiter told us that unfortunately the tomatoes are already prepared and it couldn’t be accommodated. He promised it wasn’t spicy and that there would be no extra chilli added. After our entree was finished we waiting almost an hour for our main. Which doesn’t make sense because the tomatoes were supposedly already prepared? The pasta finally arrived and it was full of chilli. I couldn’t taste anything because my mouth was on fire. I will never come back here!

Fantastic take away customer service tonight by the lovely and friendly lady that served us. We have eaten here many times pre-Covid times but we find the take away service superior than their dine-in service (generally slow, in-experienced staff with little English). Tonight we ordered the $37 deal; 1 traditional pizza, 1 pasta and a garlic bread. What a great deal. Also they do $15 take away pizzas Sun-Thur. The garlic bread is fresh and homemade. Loved the chunks of garlic! The best pasta dish is hands down the Penne alla Norma - my toddler son who is a fussy eater thoroughly enjoyed the Penne alla Norma and ate 1/4 of the dish! That’s a lot of food for him as he also had 2 slices of the pizza! The best pizza from Andiamo is their Quattro Formaggi gourmet pizza and the Margherita pizza. Tonight we ordered the Margherita. Bellissimo!

I have had take away from here a number of times and the food has always been very consistent. I have also dined in previously, I would recommend if you don’t have kids. We have been there with a toddler but it’s got more of a couples and friends getting together vibe. Tonight my family had the $37 Pizza, Pasta and Garlic bread deal. We had the Pasta Alla Norma which I recommend.
