    Tried the Chef’s Menu at Pieno, and it was absolutely worth it! Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully plated. The wines were top-notch, perfectly complementing the meal. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming especially in de garden in the back, and the service was super friendly and attentive. They really looked after us and made sure we had a good time. A perfect spot for a great dining experience—highly recommend!

    The $45 dollar was great. Sydney rock oysters, stracciatella, beef tartare, prawns, and the rest for $45 a head is extremely good value for money! Really cool outdoor area and good ambience Reading some of the other reviews, I'm quite shocked people don't think it's good value for money. It is quality over quantity for sure. But the quality is way higher than most, and we still all left full.

    I had an amazing experience at Pieno! The service was top-notch, with staff that were super knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations. The food was absolutely incredible and consisted of family style share plates that made it perfect for trying a variety of dishes. Every dish was flavourful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance was relaxed yet lively, creating the perfect atmosphere for a lovely night out. Highly recommend Pieno for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere!

    Chef’s menu advertised as an “affordable” set menu but food is ordinary and the portions are very small! Everyone left the table hungry - great option if you are just looking for small bites and drinks though. Having experienced many set menus across Sydney this is not worth $45pp. We all looked at each other like 🤨when served a little slob of tiramisu at the end to share between three.

    We chose Pieno's because we wanted to try the chefs selection menu for $45 per person but unfortunately the overall service was quite poor. They gave us a bottle of red wine instead of the bottle of white wine we ordered, they did not bring enough wine glasses for the table (then brought a mix of red and white wine glasses). The starters were brought out but there were no sharing plates and cutlery. The courses did not come in the correct order- we only received the oysters after clarifying with one of the waiters. Each time we contacted a waiter, we had to get their attention or a different server's attention twice. We asked one server a question and saw her leave without obtaining a response from the kitchen. The service was very disorganised and uncoordinated. They brought a small portion of dessert for our party and they weren't sure if we were meant to receive a 2nd one (which was provided later after we sought clarification). The food was alright considerring how much we were spending. One of the staff members understood this was not an ideal experience and decided to guve us the bottle of wine for free- which we appreciated. Overall, we were not impressed and wouldn't dine here again.

    The food was incredible - so tasty and not overpriced. Our waitress was brilliant but having to wait over an hour for two cocktails was not. It was a busy night though so hoping it was just an anomaly and not the norm. We will definitely be back.
