   We had the $20 special lunch which is a select choice of 3 pastas or choice of salads and a coffee. The pasta was amazing. We also had an Aperol Spritz each. Lovely lunch.

   Food was delicious! Just amazing! Service was awesome! Only grip the lighting was too bright and invasive when trying to enjoy the meal. Otherwise beautiful food compliments to the chef!

   Fabulous food in a nice spot with Italian vibes. We had the fettuccine and gnocchi and both were obviously freshly made and delicious. It’s a busy spot with lovely ambience. There is a 10% weekend surcharge, which we were surprised by coming from out of Melbourne. Would recommend.

    Our cruise stopped in Sydney last month, and after an organized tour, we decided to dine at a restaurant in the CBD the next time we were in port. I found this one on Open Table, made a reservation, and invited two other cruise passengers to join us. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and were seated promptly. As the host sat us, he informed us that we had the table for 90 minutes. When an employee came to take our order, we requested separate checks. She said that was impossible and that the only way to pay with two credit cards was to split the bill equally. My husband and I shared a pizza, which we enjoyed because the cheese and the crust were delicious. The garden salad was large enough for two people to share. The other couple enjoyed their pasta dishes. I recommend the operator consider how they can be more accommodating to international visitors. We didn't have sufficient Australian currency to pay cash, and the credit card system was not customer-friendly. We were also not informed that we needed to pay at the entrance, so we sat a while after eating. A Caesar salad is available on the lunch menu, but the server told my husband he could not order it at dinner. The wine list is diverse, with offerings from Australia and Italy.
