My daughter brought me here and it had such a great atmosphere and ambience. Nick really helped us out with vegetarian options and drinks making it an exceptional and easy experience for first comers. The food is equally delicious! Highly recommend! Loved it
We visited last Friday for dinner and was super exciting trying out the place. Our first waiter, who mentioned it was his first day, was confuse when explaining the menu and misunderstood our request of serving the main together. Instead, he thought we wanted the entrée and mains served at the same time. Just a bit of an awkward long wait, as one of our main was steak! The food taste and presentation was quite basic — nothing particularly refined or memorable. We ordered the focaccia, the viral vodka fusilli - average taste and the steak with truffle from their seasonal menu. No where in the steak can you find/smell/taste the hint of truffle. What really make the experience memorably worse was the overall service. We were still finishing our dessert around 9.20-9.30 pm when a waiter who hadn’t served our table all evening abruptly dropped off the bill and later come with eftpos machine without explaining or saying anything. It felt like we were being silently rushed out. Understand that bill need to be settled for closing but I do believe the approach can be more professional. When settling the bill, a waitress asked how our meal was. We mentioned we were particularly disappointed with the truffle steak. She said she'd pass the feedback to the manager — and left mid-transaction to do so. She returned shortly after saying, “That’s surprise, the steak is usually good.”, and we continue with the billing process like nothing was happening. At this point I just left speechless, because there was little point interrupting the process and the whole conversation just to ‘pass the feedback’ just to have no action taken. The restaurant wasn’t busy on the day we visited so I’m not sure why service is so disappointing.
We had a birthday dinner here, and every person’s pasta dish was hard and undercooked and the sauce lacked flavour and effort. The wait staff were nice and the atmosphere was good but overall food wise, not authentic Italian food and my meal tasted like supermarket packet pasta. Pasta dish in image is from the menu :AGLIO E OLIO TAGLIATELLE” (asparagus, péa puree, chilli oil, garlic crisps ) $30.
The place was a bit small, but the atmosphere was nice. Customer service - two staff (one of them with the apron on was super nice meanwhile the other one was just okay). Overall not bad. Food was absolutely delicious!
My boyfriend took me here for our 3rd anniversary. Atmosphere was wonderful, lovely restaurant, I especially enjoyed being able to watch the chefs cook and plate the food. The food was extraordinary, I had the vodka pasta, best I’ve ever had! That whipped ricotta was perfect. My boyfriend had scotch fillet and was cooked perfectly. The service was amazing, quick service and very welcoming. Cocktails were yummy too. Highly recommend this place to everyone.
