Food was amazing, super rich and delicious sauces. Atmosphere is nice with candles on the tables but was let down by the giant paper sheets used above the table cloth.
pretty hard to find the entrance, its up a set of stairs and there aren't many signs showing you the entrance, had air-con and but i think it turned off half way through our meal which made it really hot very quickly. food was average
Great tasting authentic Italian food at a very reasonable price and generous servings. The staff are friendly and attentive. The decore is comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxing. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
Visited here for the first time last Saturday evening. The atmosphere is great - very authentic family restaurant feel! We didn't have to wait for a seat, even though we didn't book. The air conditioning did not seem to be working very well as it was quite hot inside, however it had been quite a hot day, so that can be forgiven. The service itself was below average. The waitresses never looked around the room, so we had to call out to get their attention every time we needed them. The mains took well over an hour to come out, which was quite frustrating as we were very hungry. The food itself was pretty good, perhaps a little bland, but reasonable for the price, and very decent serving sizes. The Oysters were fantastic but could have been a little bigger. The cheesy garlic bread was the highlight! When it came time for the bill, we had to again call over the waitress and ask for the bill. After 10 minutes she still hadn't brought it, so we had to go up to the counter and sort it out ourselves. There's room for improvement, but overall a reasonable experience.
I love the hidden gem of this place. The Italian food is super authentic and the service was great. The oysters were quite small, although delicious. I shared with my partner the pasta and that was more than enough for us! Would highly recommend as it’s not super touristy and quite cute
Beautiful old fashion GENUINE Italian family restaurant! Their service is personal, food is incredible and atmosphere is cosy. It's far from the trendiest place in town, but it is great food and very reasonable prices with genuine family service. Its the kind of place that once you've been there a few times, there's a good chance you'll end up sharing a glass of vino with the owner. Joe
Love this place so much that we are regular visitors at least once a month for the past few years. They do the BEST chicken schnitzel EVER! I’m a schnitzel snob but this is hands done awesome every time! They also do awesome garlic bread and I love their fettuccine alla Sophia! Dina is awesome and always makes us feel welcome
We have come for the last few years and always delicious but this time a bit disappointing. Always have veal and mango as so good. But not enough mango this time . Garlic prawn entree still delicious. Waiting to get served took a long time snd a long time to get our meals But did see a sign on the door where they needed staff. All in all love this restaurant and hope you take heed of my comments.
Not one to complain. However tried to politely state i had a really bad meal. Got meet with abuse and dismissal. Overall paid $20 for pasta and cream with no ingredients. After paying I let them know that I was really disappointed with the dish and was then told I was lying even though I was just giving feedbacks that the dish wasn't up to standard. I was meet with serious abuse a decided to leave, I would not recommand this place
I saw a review about the big portion sizes before coming, and they weren't kidding! You definitely get enough food that is good for the price. The power in all of manly went out while we were there and they took it in stride - turned into the perfect romantic candle lit valentines dinner with great uninterrupted service. The mango veal was very good.
