Superb find in an old post office in Summer Hill. Honestly, it’s worth going to Summer Hill just for this restaurant. We did ! Great service, fantastically authentic Italian food just like you find in Italy. Passionate, attentive service staff round out the experience. Great place for lunch or dinner!

Undoubtedly in my experience a fantastic place for lunch or dinner at any time, and recently I decided to take the family for the Christmas Day set menu. Exceptional in every way – the food, the service, it was welcoming, festive and amongst the most hospitable pleasurable hours spent in any restaurant anywhere.

Took my father in law for his birthday and the whole experience was great. From the feel of the restaurant to our waiters and the recommendations they gave, the whole experience was spot on. We ordered the tuna crudo, spaghetti with Burrata and meat balls as entrees and for the mains we got the saltimbocca, eggplant melanzzane and asparagus. For dessert we got the pistachio tiramisu and the lemon (cake? I think it was) and the both fantastic. Everything was well presented and more importantly delicious! We'll definitely be back and would recommend this to anyone that loves Italian food. I personally liked this restaurant more than Amare for the cosiness and will be heading to Cibaria next to round out Chef Pavoni's list of Italian restaurants here in Sydney.

Kitchen timing ruined the night. Lovely venue and very much looking forward to another great night with this group. Sadly disappointed. Food: two brilliant, exceptional dishes - the octopus carpaccio and the wagyu tonnato. Really exceptional! One serious disappointment: Murray Cod with capsicum peperonata. The sauce was lovely, the fish well cooked - but who knew what fish it was under such a strong sauce. No chance for the fish to have any impact here (and such a shame) Service: adequate. Very pleasant, but not very attentive. We had to continually ask for wine to be topped up, water etc. Issue: our 4 x entrees all arrived and we loved them. The second they were finished, the plates were whisked away, clean one supplied and our mains delivered all in one go (1 pasta, 1 main and 1 side). It felt like the kitchen was desperate to get service over. We were finished our complete meal - entree and mains in less than 45 mins. Not sure what the issue was, but this certainly detracted badly from the experience. I’d definitely come again - the great dishes are so good and the rest are all excellent (bar the tasty but wasted fish), but I might make my need for a leisurely dinner more explicit!

Saw rave reviews of this place on social media and decided to book a reservation for a birthday celebration. The stellar reviews were well and truly deserved. Great food and atmosphere. Impeccable service from Vicky. She was attentive, warm and friendly. Even though it was relatively busy on a Friday night she still kept a warm smile throughout. Will definitely be back!
