Amazing night out, three delightful courses by the amazing head chef Mario. Friendly staff, super attentive service elevating this fine dining experience to another level. All the pasta were hand made and cooked perfectly for a chewy wholesome bite. By far the best pasta in Sydney. You’re got to try the deserts, flavoursome and light to end the evening on a sweet note

We arrived 15min early which i understand we needed to wait outside during prep. Before we could even speak we were told at the door the restaurant was fully booked & don't accept walk ins. I explained we have a booking, the girl said what time is your booking? to which we advised 5:30, she then said we don't open till 5.30 and closed the door. At 5:30 we were allowed in but straight away upon entry, told we need to vacate the table at 8pm for another reservation, which was fine. Once seated at out table we were hovered over every couple of minutes to be rushed along to order, plates were removed that still had food on them. We had barely been eating for an hour when the dessert menu was presented, the waitress kept hovering until we ordered, once dessert arrived (which we hadn't started yet) we were advised at 6:45pm we needed to leave to free up the table for the next reservation. I understand things are busy & our table was rebooked by another booking once we arrived for the next sitting but your team need to work on their soft skills. We ordered drinks, starters, mains & dessert, spending a fair amount at your restaurant, poor experience to be welcomed with a note to leave asap & rushed through the whole dinner.

10 out of 10! Came for a dinner as a walk in after the vivid festival and the manager welcome us even without a booking with a lovely table. Authentic and fantastic Italian food with great service from the friendly staff. Definitely recommend the place if you’re after a cozy and vibrating dinner around circular quay.
