Delicious food and lovely service! Highly recommend this restaurant. We were a group of six and shared the set menu for $60 per head. Each dish was delicious and was great being able to try so many. Very generous quantities. Especially loved all the home made pastas, the eggplant parmigiana and every dessert. We felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Ordered their seared tuna for $35 ish. Tomatoes were delicious. Tuna is meh.10% off if you pay by cash which is nice.Service is awesome (which brings up the star)Environment is very nice and chill. Not anything particularly amazing though.I did not find my food to be great, especially the main dish, the tuna.Portion on the quite small size. I am a small size woman who usually eats very little. It was definitely not enough to just order entree, even the pasta is quite a small portion.Would recommend to have a budget of $60 per person to get a proper dinner at this restaurant.

My new favourite restaurant in Sydney! Coming from Salento myself, I’ve found the food super genuine and authentic. Plus, service is amazing and the guys are super friendly. I’ll be back soon to try Ciceri e Tria and my beloved Pasticciotto ♥️♥️♥️

Excellent service, the staff make you feel welcome.Beautiful sharing platter for starters, I recommend getting the chefs choice.Lovely spaghetti and a wide variety of choices.Matched with a gorgeous red wine too.My only gripe was the venue becomes extremely hot and our friends weren't feeling comfortable. Our visit was in the middle of winter, so bring a t shirt if you cannot handle the heat. 4.5 out of five stars, it is worth visiting for the amazing staff and beautiful food.

Was waiting for pasta mains and was told when we flagged down the waiter half an hour after entrees that they were waiting for us to finish the appetisers, which we deliberately didn't finish. The restaurant was not busy, serving two other tables, and the course we hadn't finished were fried dough balls where the serving was so generous but overall was dry and we didn't want to stuff ourselves with more fried dough (if they had brought our pasta earlier we could have used any excess sauce there to finish it off maybe). At this point we had been all on our phones at the same time, waiting, and no one checking in and a cursory glance would have showed we were impatiently waiting for mains. Left a sour note when the waiter acted as if it was our fault when we would have been happy to correct that assumption if he'd stopped by. We cancelled dessert and waited for Mains to arrive. I had pasta with pistachio and salmon, which was pleasant but personally would have preferred a touch of salt as the dish was neutral in an almost bland way and I wouldn't be interested in a repeat visit for it. The pasta was coated in a nicely emulsified sauce, it just needed seasoning. Anyway, pasta was not outstanding and while you could find reasons to justify why half an hour from appetisers is reasonable being made to feel like it was your fault is many levels of uncool, I eat out a ridiculous amount and that was a first for me.

Second time here tonight. I'm In love. The food, the service (they make you feel like family), the atmosphere.Perfect for dinner with mates, dates and family dinners. Did i mention the food. It's amazing and perfect to bring a vegetarian too also.Considering Italian isn't my go to cuisine I'm shocked I love it so much.Also the story behind the restaurant and logo is pretty cool.
