Chef and owners Aniello Bortone and Reth have worked in unison for the past 10 years across a number of Sydney’s most popular restaurants.

Hailing from the humble town of Aversa next to Napoli, Nello grew up watching his family make traditional Neapolitan dishes, this is where his love of food began.

Working alongside Reth, also a chef and the front face of Semola, his enthusiasm for impeccable customer service and quality ingredients shines through. The dynamic duo are an authentic representation of what it means to eat and breathe true Italian food.

Food was excellent. Some of the wait staff were inexperienced - basically filled one wine glass with the last 1/4 from the bottle ensuring we had to purchase another bottle for the remaining guests.

The pasta in both dishes we had was the best we have ever had in Australia. The Tiramasu was also delicious. We sat in out outdoor area on a night the trains weren't running so there was a lot of buses going by. On a normal night you wouldn't notice this as much, but that didn't spoil our night because the food is so good. I'll definately be back.

My friend and I came for the Pasta Class last Saturday and we absolutely loved it! The team and Head Chef were phenomenal! The staff were attentive, kind and helpful, and the Head Chef was engaging, energetic and insightful, taking us through his extensive knowledge of pasta making. Cannot recommend this enough to friends and family, perfect for a girls day out, date idea, or time with family. Would happy return - 10/10!

It was such a cozy and lovely restaurant. We ordered one squid ink spaghetti and one pork sausage ragu for my husband’s earlier birthday celebration. We also bought some pasta from the restaurant, as their food brought back my love for the pasta again! Definitely will go back to try other dishes in the future. The Tiramisu is super love as well.

Starters were good but the pasta was disappointing. The pasta came out so fast and tasted like it wasn't fresh. Tables too close together
