Jackie McMillan
(4.5 stars) For a neighbourhood restaurant that gets it right, head to the gloriously red and golden Attenzione in Redfern. All sex aside, their grilled pastrami ($28) is going to be the best tongue ever inserted into your mouth. The dish, which has remained on the menu since they opened, slices the (usually soft) meat wafer thin, chucks it on the grill like kebab meat, and serves it with an excellent chilli condiment under pickled jicama (Mexican turnip). I already want to eat it again. Ditto the first tomatoes of the season ($24), served firm and naturally sweet against sardine juices and creamy curd. The fancy sanga here—abalone cotaletta ($26)—is a level up on what we make at home. While abalone isn’t particularly common in Italy, the breaded and fried treatment is Italian and, while pricy, it’s cut so you can share. Kombu and a tantalising hint of liquorice in the butter makes the bread ($12) here essential. Stave off any carbohydrate-related guilt with wedges of crisp cos ($8/each) painted in white taramasalata dusted in sumac. Switched on floor staff preemptively change plates, and have something to say about both food and wine. I’d give it five stars if the Merimbula oysters ($42/6) has been shucked to order rather than presented without their liquor, albeit with an intelligent cava and curry oil mignonette. Kudos to the restaurant leaning into being suburban by offering BYO. While it’s fifty bucks to do so, if you spend $150 apiece, they knock it down to $30. For us it was worth it to enjoy Alex McKay’s 2024 Solitude Roussanne from Collector Wines. McKay only made one barrel of this wine from a parcel of Canberra District Roussanne, and offered it to his Friends of Collector list. One of those times it pays to belong.

I’ve dined here a couple of times now. Each time has been an excellent experience. Attenzione nice, dim and relaxed vibe for after a long day. Both visits have had different menus, and each dish chosen or recommended has been fantastic. The cocktails are on the smaller side, but punch well above their size, and the wine selection is broad and will suit all tastes. Service has been super each visit, with attentive staff and great recommendations.

Loved my experience at Attenzione Food & Wine. The snacks and small plates were packed with unique and surprising flavors - each dish was a treat. The Pici XL pasta was especially memorable: thick, chewy, and full of character. The service was excellent ：）the staff were friendly and attentive. The cozy, intimate setting makes it a great place to catch up with friends over drinks and great food. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!

Intimate and surprising. Great selection of wines and menu different from the usual restaurants in Sydney. Got beautifully stimulated by the menu with great antipasti (try them all) and you must take the Cacio e Pepe (twice if you can). I would add a little more to the dessert menu, but they are anyway very good. 100% recommend.

Had the most delicious lunch here - bluefin tuna, smoked trout, charred snow peas (not pictured but this dish is a must try) and lamb neck. Everything was delicious and the service was great too. Also a very impressive wine list. Can’t wait to come back for dinner some time!
