Catching up with my friends — one is a chef, and the other loves cooking. My friends started their meals with oysters with white balsamic dressing. We then shared a veal tongue and scamorza sandwich, which was incredibly tasty and highly recommended. Another entrée was tuna crudo with tonnato dressing and Sardinian crisp bread — fresh, flavourful, and refreshing. My favourite dish was the fried eggplant with tomato jam and salted ricotta. It was perfectly crunchy and light on the outside, while juicy and full of flavour inside. A special highlight was when a chef came out from the kitchen with zucchini flowers filled with five cheeses and anchovy, kindly offering them for us to try — such a thoughtful touch. For mains, we had spaghetti with chilli and tomato (and another ingredient I can’t quite remember), cooked to perfect al dente and delicious - gotta have it with their pickled chilli oil. We also shared the whole yellow belly flounder with vongole and sea blite, which was outstanding — especially the sauce. On the side, we enjoyed a rocket salad with shallots and aged balsamic, along with chips seasoned with rosemary salt and served with truffle aioli. For dessert we had coffee granita with mascarpone on top. Just like eating cold tiramisu but lighter and refresher. I really like the simple and honest look of the food and plates. 💛 The service was absolutely pleasant from start to finish. I will definitely have to bring my husband here next time😊.

Not much changed on the interior since the refurb. The space is tight, different small areas. The decor is nice, loved the music and the candles give it a romantic touch although present a bit of a hazard at the same time. With the tight space and music just be aware it is quite noisy..if that's an issue this might not be for you. It was busy on a Friday night, as expected. Service was ok, nothing outstanding. Some were better than other in dealing with the guests. The menu has lots of options from pasta to mains and small plates. All our choices were flavoursome and well presented. The cocktails were nice and there is plenty to choose from a long wine list.

One of a stable of similar restos that are as now as I used to be, this fell short of the mark. The service was friendly, but awkward at times, and the room is fine enough, noisy, and with chairs so hard they could crack nuts in their spare time. The food varied. The zucchini flowers were terrific, the $75 400g whole baby flounder good, as was the partially salty, partially awesome rocket salad. But the foccacia was underwhelming as it was undersized. The eggplant a cute idea that is ok, but the pasta dishes were as overcooked as a toddlers ambitions to be an influencer. And their sauces were forgetful. The chard was so salty, it could be used as a seasoning. We didn't stay for desserts, had one soft drink each and spent over $100pp. No drama with that bill, but I'd like to remember something more than the culinary errors.

We ordered the focaccia (crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside), scallops (should’ve ordered more bread to mop up the sauce), fried eggplant, scampi and pumpkin ravioli (my fave - pasta was silky and thin). Have to say this is one of my favourite meals this year! Decent wine too!

An amazing dining experience by the group, with interesting details everywhere. I ordered the focaccia, veal tongue sandwiches, asparagus, and rigatoni pasta. The sandwiches come as a pair, each piece crafted with care and intention. The asparagus was perfectly cooked, retaining its snap and juicy freshness, complemented by a well-balanced mayonnaise sauce. The pasta was cheesy from the ricotta and the tripe was tender. Both focaccia and the sourdough are exceptional. The focaccia is so good by itself that I had no idea what to do with the ricotta and olive oil, so I ordered a slice of sourdough to clean them up, but I ended up enjoying it with its natural tangy flavour and chewy texture. Definitely coming back to try out other dishes!
