I recently dined solo at Bar Totti’s in the Sydney CBD. I was seated outside in the alley, which unfortunately meant dealing with quite a bit of noise and disruption from nearby venues.nnThe food started off strong. The antipasti was delicious, and the pappardelle pasta was rich and perfectly cooked. The kitchen is clearly capable of delivering high quality dishes.nnHowever, the service completely overshadowed the experience. I waited around 20 minutes for the antipasti and then another 45 minutes for the pasta, with no communication about the delays. Dining alone makes you especially aware of timing, and the long gaps made the meal feel unnecessarily dragged out.nnThe man serving me seemed completely disengaged, with no smile, no interaction, and a very nonchalant attitude throughout. He did not check in once, and when I politely asked if I could move to another table, my request was ignored. Since I was seated outside, drunk partygoers from the club next door were repeatedly catcalling him throughout the afternoon, which created an awkward and chaotic atmosphere. It happened many times and became quite distracting. Regardless of what was happening around him, that should not translate into poor service or dismissive behaviour toward paying customers.nnTo end the meal, I ordered the tiramisu, which was unfortunately disappointing. It lacked flavour and did not live up to the standard set by the earlier dishes.nnI honestly felt invisible the entire time. It is disappointing because there is clearly potential here, but the inconsistent service and underwhelming dessert left a sour final impression

I came with three friends on a Friday with a reservation really encourage y’all to book in advance as we did 2 weeks before the date as it’s gets so busy and the reservations are filling up quite quick. We were seated near the bar really great since we could watch the bar people make drinks which was epic. To start we ordered the classics, the bread, tomato’s, burrata and prosciutto. I can say these appetisers were a 10/10 and were absolutely delicious and will definitely be a repeat one day. We also got the calamari and were told it would come with our other appetisers but it didn’t come until around 10mins after we got our pasta’s, however when it did arrive I can say it was delicious and really crispy though the large pieces not the tentacle pieces did get really soggy quickly and the aioli it came with was a bit tasteless. For pasta we got the Lamb Ragu and Chilli Crab, both were exceptional and delicious and I deft recommend. Though I will say we ordered chips as well and that also took quite a while to arrive as it did arrive around 10 mins after we were served the pasta, the chips don’t come with sauce even though they really should so be sure to ask for some.To finish we got the tiramisu and Chocolate Torta to finish, the tiramisu was great but honestly nothing incredibly special, however the Chocolate Torta was genuinely the most delicious, glorious, toe curling, eyes closing and hands in prayer shape, dessert I’ve ever had. PLEASE GET THE CHOCOLATE TORTA. Alongside my friend got their Margarita special $18 and she said it was really good. Overall everything was amazing and service was phenomenal as all the servers were very attentive and also work very fast while also being so kind and charming, just a phew small critiques though I’d forgive anything for that Chocolate Torta, we’ll definitely be back, Thanks Totti’s

Bar Totti’s was absolutely worth the wait! We visited on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was completely packed. While waiting for our table, we enjoyed a couple of drinks next door at Jam Record Bar, and about an hour later we got the call that our table was ready.nnWe started with their famous wood-fired bread topped with burrata, tomatoes, and mortadella, and it was every bit as good as everyone says. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the combination of creamy burrata, sweet tomatoes, and delicate mortadella on the warm bread was simply delicious.nnFor the mains, we shared the reginette crab pasta, a fresh salad, and the king prawns with chilli. Every dish was full of flavor and perfect for sharing. To finish, we couldn’t resist the tiramisu, which was a wonderful way to end the meal.nnEven though the restaurant stayed buzzing right through to midnight, the service never missed a beat. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, and our waiter was always nearby whenever we needed anything.nnIt’s easy to see why Bar Totti’s is so popular. Great food, lively atmosphere, and reliable service make it a place we’d happily return to the next time we’re in Sydney.

The TOTTI’s I’ve been waiting for. This was the highlight of my Sydney trip! nnThe bread was everything they said and more. I love bread, bury me in THIS bread. We got the burrata, roasted peppers, kingfish and prosciutto to pair with the bread. Everything complimented each other well, however we wish we got another dip or some sort of sauce to eat it with, as we had leftover bread. But it’s okay because I genuinely could eat this bread alone.nnThe pasta was great, generous amounts of meat and sauce coated the noodles well. The only critique I’d say is everything was drenched in so much oil it was actually unnecessary with how much they needed to add. It made everything felt super heavy and greasier than it needed to be. Maybe it’s just my own preference, but I do prefer not having a pool of oil in every dish.nnThe service was also not very friendly and welcoming, our waitress seemed like she did not want to be there. We even complimented her and praised her but maybe she just is having a bad day or not being treated right in this employment :nnMy group and I still loved it and would definitely come back for their bread and antipasti!

Love the wood-fired bread and all the antipasti dishes, however it was very hard to taste the flavour of the prosciutto. Their seasonal calamari fritti was also really nice. Tried two pastas here on Saturday and wasn’t a fan of the Gnocchetti prawn garlic shoot prosciutto pasta, the Rigatoni genovese pangrattato was better. I would probably just stick the antipasti when I come back and I would love to try the tiramisu
