It's consistently not bad. The owner is lovely and very accommodating. My rating is mainly attributed to the service. The food is not bad, I'd recommend the Gnocchi or wood fired pizza
Great food and even better service. Would recommend making a booking in advance for Friday nights. About $35 a head
Friendly staff and great selection of authentic Italian food. Lunch and dinner at average price.
we stumbled upon this, looking for another neighbourhood Italian restaurant that we had driven by a few weeks ago, and couldn't place, and decided to give it a go. The ambiance, and location is absolutely precious; quite endearing. The service is wonderful, as it seems the head waiter has been part of the establishment for quite some time, very charming. The wine was absolutely delicious! The food, unfortunately, was the most disappointing part of our experience. My pasta dish seemed unfinished tasteless, and very unappealing presentation wise...I actually asked the waitress that served it, if there was a sauce missing; sadly, the answer was no, and the pizza was very light on the toppings that were listed, and even with that, soggy in the crust. Very disappointing. I would go back, to give the benefit of the doubt... maybe the chef head an off night but I would definitely not order the same thing.
This place is fantastic for lunch or dinner. I have been here more than five times. Good price. Good selection. Everything I've had has been very tasty. Portions are a bit undersized for me, but that's subjective.
Delicious Italian food with lot of vegetarian and gluten free options.
Seafood linguine was mediocre thanks to the frozen prawns used. Chicken gnocchi was pretty great tho. Would have been happy to pay a bit extra for fresh prawns and nicer bread garlic bread. Hospitality was great.
You are treated like family. Moritzio remembered me from 1 visit months ago. Service totally first class, food absolutely beyond delicious and the chef went out of his way to make me a special dish and was amazing.
Have been back there twice in the last week or so and both times food was fantastic, atmosphere just typical of a family restuarant, service couldnt fault it and of course Mauritzo is the host with the most. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening and for turning out the lights and putting a candle on the chocolate cake just added that extra special touch.
The risotto was very tasty though in clearing the table the proprietor spilt my red wine on to my trousers. An honest mistake. He gave me a glass of his best red in recompense. We had a good evening
