Amazingly good food, good atmosphere, with great service! Julia, our server, provided insights into the food and wine, as well as Sydney and what Sydney has to offer these first time visitors to this amazing area. We sat at the bar and enjoyed oysters, chicken skewers, pasta, wine, and tiramisu, 5 stars all the way. If 6 were an option, Pendolino (and Julia) would have it.

I have rated this low because it’s a very dark restaurant top floor of the port street mall. We found it when doing some Christmas shopping and felt like Italian food. Confusingly there is a bar area in front of the restaurant with a smaller menu. We chose to sit there. We had a carafe of a nice Italian wine which was combined rather than ordering a bottle. I had the mushroom risotto and fennel salad which was delicious and my partner ate a pasta that he didn’t enjoy that much. The bathrooms are situated a floor above that you access by lift which takes ages to get to the floor so coming down same story. Very average. Menu limited. Staff helpful in an unfriendly manner. Riddle wine glasses really mind blowing though.

Nice food great wines! Lovely atmosphere for a date. The tiramisu was amazing with icecream inside very innovative. Squid ink pasta with seafood was delicious if you are a pasta person. Highly recommend. Quiet place to talk to.

Dined at their Bottega Wine Bar on a Friday night, very romantic, and the food was good! I loved the rainbow trout, and the ravioli was delicious too Highly recommend

Celebrated my birthday at The Restaurant Pendolino with a Two Course ($120pp) Dinner, accompanied by premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils & house made bread. Was given a complimentary Tertini Private Cellar Collection Lagrein for my birthday 🍾 Recommend the Ravioli Di Magro! 🥰
