    Made a reservation for six, the banquet option provided was amazing with a wide variety of dishes. Some people in the party were vegetarian and Pellegrino accommodated that professionally. A overall great experience.

    Comparing as we recently returned from Italy and ate amazing food for four weeks. Found the food here to be lacking in seasoning. The pork and fennel sausage had little taste and didn’t stand out nor didn’t compliment the pasta. Likewise, the Aperol Spritz was not what we experienced in Italy or at other Italian restaurants here. Will be back though.

    The Friday Plat du Jour remains outstanding value-as evidenced by the busy room every Friday. We thought the weekly single choice pasta might become a bit ho hum—but the chefs keep coming up with very tasty, flavourful options every week. The staff are friendly and efficient, the feeling is of eating in a private dining room-and the manicured garden view remains a unique feature on this, or any other. ‘Coast’ in Australia. We’re regulars!
