Went here on a Friday night before Vivid with a group of friends. This place gets quite busy and there's limited seating area. A lot of people also do takeaway! We managed to pull some tables together for 9 of us. I got the pasta and meatballs and the meatballs were amazing and flavourful. The menu is pretty simple! You just choose the type of pasta you want and then the sauce for it. The price is average as you would expect for a pasta place and the portions were average too. Anymore expensive and it wouldn't be worth it! Just depends on what you get. Overall, a good experience.

Neo Kung

Great pasta! Really good taste at reasonable price. You should try their roast pork, really soft and tender.

chloe seo

They have gluten free pasta, and still very yummy. Dessert was great, different from other tiramisu

Euan McMillan

Oh wow.. the lasagne is huge and delicious.. amazing salads, the food comes so fast and it’s cooked perfectly. Great flavours and superbly affordable! We just dropped in a bit unsure of the location but the food is AMAZING.. can’t wait to eat my way through the menu! Thanks guys

Andrew Barrotta

Unbelievable. Hands down best pasta I've ever had out. Fried pizza was strange, although tastes amazing. Highly recommend, definitely try it!! Nonna quality!

Johan Duvenhage

Freaking Amazing. Good size portions. Excellent fresh pasta and ingredients. Probably inside the top 5 Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Tiramisu is outstanding. Literally the best ever!

Savannah McMaster

Oh goodness. Everything was phenomenal. The eggplant parmigiana was especially spectacular. Hard to pass up when everything on the menu is $20 or less

Andy Munro

Superb food, reasonably priced and perfect for a quick take away bite or to sit and watch the drama of the night unfold. There were lots of Uber bike couriers around for people wanting food delivered and there was a steady stream of orders going out, which is always a good sign. I had the spaghetti marinara and a coke (other colas are available but not here!) which came to 23 bucks which is just over a tenner if, like me, you're from the UK. The food came quickly and in a paper box/plate with a wooden fork. The pasta was cooked just right and there was plenty of delicious sauce with a good helping seafood i.e. prawns, crab & squid. I was having bit of trouble getting all of the sauce onto the small fork when it occurred to me to get some Garlic Bread to mop it all up. This turned out to be an inspired choice because the GB was sublime and perfectly suited to the task. They were more like twisted doughy strips and soaked up the sauce beautifully. I'm here for a couple of days so I may go back again.

We dined here for a special occasion in Through The Fork giving us 50% off. We had a very nice three course meal with drinks. Each dish is presented beautifully and flavours well balanced to make this a very memorable meal. An extensive cocktail and grappa menu, would love to come back with friends and eat and drink more aperitivo style.

Boosher

Went here with my Mrs after Valentine’s Day and I must say... the food was delicious the staff were friendly and responsive and the drinks were on point. All in all the meals were out in a timely manner making the dinner date a great one, I would definitely recommend and would definitely be going back.

Ifiirit

Brilliant authentic Italian food. No pizza here. Great prove and large portions. Good wine selection. Staff where super friendly. Very nice atmosphere would live to go back to try more.

Meri-Anne Mahoney

Love this place - a little piece of Italy in Sydney. This has amazing hospitality and service that you usually only get in Europe. The food is authentic, delicious and abundant. The antipasto is amazing - and the cocktails are second to none. I also love the extensive wine list by the glass.

Roger Yu

Good ambience and service, sounded quite Italian. Good service, very attentive. Once the waiter took two quick steps toward me when beckoned, I will always remember. Best beef ever, slow cooked, lots of flavour, not salty at all. I almost ordered this again for dessert. The pasta was a little on the salty and thick side, but it was enjoyable to munch on. The mousse was appropriately dark, and it well with the salty peanuts. The crunch under and on top of the ice cream was a welcome break. If only the plate were flat.

Susheel Joseph

Great collection of Italian beers and wines. Good ambience and enjoyed the food. Wish the desserts were a little better though

Radamés Cintra

Nice place, good food, good service. It is not a big venue, so it is highly recommended to book, specially on weekends. The food was good, although the servings were a bit small. Entrees and a main dish for each person is advised. Staff was friendly, always available and the orders were fulfilled quickly.

Boydo Hughes

The flavours were excellent, we really enjoyed the food, great job, well done!

We feel like words can not describe our experience. Everything was amazing! From the service of the staff (especially Nicole who made us feel so welcome!) , to the home made pasta, melting meat (we had duck ragout and beef cheek), the wine and dessert. The creme brulee was to die for. All exceeded our expectations in dining out. Best Italian food we have ever had!!! Thank you for such a great experience!!

Ian Sekuloski

Went for lunch, good quality food, service is a slow, but friendly. We had to ask twice for our drinks. After second round we stopped ordering. They could have made at least another $300 on drinks. Thank god the food was good. Decor was strange with gangster photos everywhere.

From the moment you walk into Machiavelli Ristorante you feel welcomed like a family member. This venue definitely ticks the boxes! From the delicious entrees, to the beautiful mains to the decadent desserts, you will definitely enjoy mouthwatering bite! Highly recommend and definitely rate it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

James Webster

Warm hearted, fun and super professional. My guests and I had a wonderful time. Superb food, great wine list and delightful atmosphere. The antipasto misto and zucchini flowers were memorable, actually it all was.

Ingy Dee

Came here with a couple of girlfriends and the food did not disappoint .. we were too full for dessert so we will have to go back The ambiance is great, it did get surprisingly busy on a Monday night. They got a 4 star because the service was a little lacking. Our server was not very friendly and we had to hail a few of them down to finally get our bill. That was disappointing considering how much we enjoyed the meals

Alexandra Lalaneats

Highly recommend this venue for late lunch or dinner. The perfect spot for client meetups or dinner with the family. A lot of bussinessmen and women seem to dine here in their breaks. The food is just incredible! Every dish I tried I absolutely loved, so much so I can't pick favourites! I did have a soft spot for the new menu item figs wrapped in Prosciutto in gorgonzola sauce & the Balmain Bugs 👌 I tried steak tartare for the first time here, and what a first experience it was! I even went back for seconds. The food here is super fresh, their seafood gets delivered twice a day it's so popular! Take a look at my photos to see the dishes we tried, and if you haven't already you must try their pillow soft gnocchi that just melted in my mouth. Also reccomend the scampi and the desserts are a must try! I personally enjoyed the incredibly soft cheesecake & the Pannacotta was exceptionally good. The chocolate tart was very decadent and rich, best to share that one or better yet order a selection of desserts and share between a few people 😊 Great service here, staff are prompt and are there to wait on you. Love the hospitality and will definitely be returning.

claudia Pizard

Loved this place. The food here is reminiscent of the years gone by. Amazing service . I will certainly come back.

This is my favourite restaurant in Enmore. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to write this review. The food is seriously amazing, I bring everyone I know here. It’s always fresh and home made and the staff are lovely.

Dawn Watts

We had our Anniversary dinner here last night, and it was very nice. The Bruccetta, Sambucca Prawns & Affogato were delicious as was the Sangeovese. We enjoyed the food, staff and atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Anusha Rutnam

I did a fairly enormous order for my quarantine birthday with family. The beautiful food really lifted our spirits - those anchovies, and the Moreton Bay bug were incredible! I can't wait to visit once the restaurant reopens.

Andrew Ham

This may be the best restaurant in Sydney. I say maybe because I'm not sure if I should include the entire planet. The food there is to die for, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. A true gem in Enmore.

M. Chris.

Superb Italian. Excellently cooked pasta dishes. Good servings and friendly service. Good atmosphere, though a trifle crowded. Byo always a bonus. Would return always.

P. Mehta

Surprisingly tasty vegetarian food, many options, freshly cooked. Friendly quick service.

LEVELS JIUJITSU CLUB

We love this restaurant so much we're often there a couple times a week! Our martial arts school is located quite close by and we tend to finish work quite late in the evenings so it really helps that La Ricetta is open late. The food is always on point, delicious! The service is amazing and prices are reasonable. We recently had a family birthday celebration there. We can't recommend La Ricetta enough!

Jessica Rowbotham

Delicious food, staff very friendly and nice! Great place to have our Christmas party of 20 there! Nice atmosphere as well!

Very good! Service could have been a bit more attentive like to the table next to us having to catch the waiter/waitress each time before leaving the neighbouring table. Entree and mains were on point with flavour but the price point was a little high for value. Ambiance was a very still and a little music in the upstairs would have changed this. Value for money 8/10 Service 7/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Dishes 8/10 Experience 8/10 Return? ✅

Tricia Leo

Great setting for group meals, food is fresh and so tasty! The fish was superb... And desserts OMG, please don't skip the desserts. What to order? Everything! Then roll yourself home cos you'll be so stuffed L.

David Mitchell

This place is really special. If you are looking for Italian fare then look no further. Wait staff are friendly and efficient and provide good guidance on menu choices. Great home made pasta is their signature. Antipasto and baked olives provide an excellent gateway to the mains. All this is complimented by an excellent wine list. Book to avoid disappointment.

Paul Vermeer

Food is high quality, service is excellent. We were disappointed that some of the pasta dishes were extremely salty. Not cheap.

Louise Van Lint

Very nice Italian restaurant! The food was very tasty and the staff extremely friendly! Would definitely recommend!

Hemang Shah

By far my favourite Italian restaurant in Sydney. Consistent changes to the daily specials mean that you can keep coming back over and over and not have the same dish twice. Highly recommended

Diana Vassilenko

Amazing service! Staff makes you feel like you're the most special and honorable guest they've ever served. Delicious food, very delightful romantic atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic experience. I highly recommend the pappardelle dish. The pasta is otherworldly, it is homemade and has an amazing bite to it. All flavours are well-balanced and work well with each other.

Jerome Clinton Justin

Reasonably priced courses and great selection of wines! A beautiful cosy restaurant run by very professional staff!

Serena Chowna

Have been here several times and I am so glad that the service and quality of food has remained consistent. The unique part about Vapiano is despite being relatively busy the pasta you order is made fresh in front of you in less than 10 minutes. I really enjoy coming here on a quiet weekday for lunch, and sitting on the lovely terrace like top floor with plenty of open space and privacy in a beautifully designed restaurant.

tina mclendon

We have been to Vapianos several times and pick it for its consistency, convenience and price. I think around the $20 mark, a freshly cooked pasta dish seems good value. You can add extras so it is cooked to your liking. I’m surprised that some find the payment system difficult. We just order using the one card and one chef can do two meals at one time. Sometimes one of us uses the other card at the bar while the other in the queue or the dish is cooking. It is a casual fun atmosphere with fresh basil growing on each table. We’ve also had takeaway from here - same sized servings and proper containers and bread.

Tony Maytom

Look the food was great and the concept is different to your average Italian. Just be aware of the two different queues for pasta and pizza. It gets really busy but it was worth the wait. Be prepared for a $25+ basic lunch, more if you want to go a bit fancy though they do have a lunch special, just be aware of the extras.

Wendy Bas

Enjoyed our family dinner. Kids loved their pizza. We enjoyed our ravioli. Nice place for a family with the big size tables. Definitely coming back 👍

Ashwitha Jain

One of the best Italian restaurants in and around Wynyard. They have a card system where you have to tap the food card given to you when you order food. This is a self service. You can pick any toppings you want for your pizza and pasta. Lots and lots of vegan /vegetarian options. The Ambience is great and the staff are very friendly and polite. The chefs are amazing, if they think your choice of pasta doesn't go with the sauce you picked they will advise you the best option available. I highly recommend this place.

Aditya Bahl

One of my favorite places in the city. Fantastic ambience, great staff, decent food, prices and options. Would definitely recommend.

Harsh Navale

This restaurant is the best place for dinner/lunch parties or get togethers in general. The concept of ordering the food is very different, innovative. But the food is delicious. Also, the ambiance is on point. The food is a little expensive than your average restaurant but its so worth it!

Michel Ferreira

I love Vapiano. It’s one my favorite places from Europe. I used to love going to the one in Amsterdam when I lived there. It’s a very casual fast Italian with great food for a reasonable price.

Great vibe. Nice service. Superb food. Highly recommended if you’re around the CBD and want an enjoyable dining experience next to a pool, or just want to grab a drink by the pool with your friends.

Brandon Ng

Great food great service by the pool! Loved the staff’s attention to details. I loved the king fish tartare. My only negative is that I wished the smoking area at the pool wasn’t so close to the restaurant side.

Tim Neall

Booked a lunch for 6 people and were placed adjacent to the pool. This gives the table a great open feel, while still being out of the sun. The food and wine were exceptional as expected. We ordered a recommended mix of seafood entrees to share and the staff were on point with their selections. For the pasta fanatics, the special on the day was a chilli lobster pasta and i would recommend to share, with 2 people.

V O

Located on the fourth floor, Ucello has a very warm and welcoming ambience and is interestingly located beside the pool. The wine selection is extensive. Food is good with the lamb well marinated and sides of good proportions. The staff was attentive and made good recommendation for wine

otto travis

Considering that it is a two chef hat restaurant, I was worried that there wouldn't be availability when we decided to walk down and see if they had availability. There was a handful of open tables on a weekday near the end of the lunch service which was great. It was a perfect opportunity to try one of the best restaurants in Sydney, no regrets at all.

Marie Benoist

Food is great. The pasta were delicious. The atmosphere is really nice and sophisticated. I like a lot to be able to see the open kitchen. The waiters and waitresses are just amazing.

Michael Fisher

Excellent start to finish. Highly recommend the bistecca; perfectly cooked (rare) & had a nice caramelised crust. Buffalo mozzarella starter & the broccolini were also really good but the bistecca is not to be missed.

Dane Marcus

Wow, incredible food! We loved every dish amd the vibe is modern and funky. The crab as well as the fried calamari were stellar. The staff know theor stuff and were always around when we needed them. Highly recommended spot!

A really good time was had by myself and friends at this exceptional Italian restaurant. Menu is excellent, from the humble pizza to a first rate pasta, to various meat and some seafood dishes. Wine selection whilst expensive, is good. Service is excellent. An added bonus at this restaurant, are wine tasting events, usually around an Italian varietal. Great atmosphere - even better food.

Thuy Nong

Pretty good place though the service is a bit slow. The pizza and pasta were very good but the desserts were your standard quality nothing creative here. I wish there had been more options to choose from too. Might come back

R J

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at La Rosa. The food was delicious, with many interesting menu items to choose from. The drinks menu was perfect and very happy that there was an Australian wheat beer to choose. Plus the service was outstanding. Many thanks to La Rosa The Strand, the perfect place for us tonight.

z3173054

Food is always great here. Service is always great too. It is nice a quiet too where you can have a decent conversation with someone without having to talk loudly. Great place for a date.

Aidan Tooher

Amazing food, wonderfully looked after, beautiful and intimate space for our wedding (Nov 2019). We can't thank the La Rosa team enough for our wonderful wedding. Having eaten there before our wedding to test them out, we were not disappointed on our wedding night either! All our guests (vegetarians and all) loved the food and the wine. The prosecco DOC was especially amazing. The team were so accommodating of all our requests and the venue was great for our intimate wedding of 80 people. City setting made transport and accommodation so easy. All in all, phenomenal value with caring service, some of the best food in Sydney and lovely Italian wines - so glad we didn't settle for a catered venue instead. Thanks again Maggi and team. We'll be back soon! Aidan and Immy

Eric Zhu

Food is really average, would give negative star if I could. Lasagna was way too oily with oil running around the plate. Entry plate, the deep fry wasn't crispy outside. For the price paid for $85 for two of them, you better shop elsewhere!!!

Chris Meyer

Everything here was sooo good! Main dish was exceptional. Bread was sooo good. Soup salad and appetizers were delicious. Service was good.

Rizwan Nawaz

Food was really nice and loads of flavour. Recommend the Entree Prawns and the mini Bruschetti. The ambience is nice and relaxing.
