   This place gives you the most legit, personalized Italian experience! They’ll serve a different main dish for their $75pp set menu, and you don’t find out what it is until you sit down ✨ Normally, we are the type who likes to see the menu before deciding to go, but we thought this would be fun and a cool surprise on our date night! It’s definitely a unique experience with some seriously high-quality seasonal ingredients and traditional cooking techniques that created some amazing textures and flavours We asked for no red meat on our booking, (they cater to all dietary requirements) so we saw the table next to us get steak and duck as their mains Our main was charred squid with pumpkin, and wow, it was so good. The cold & hot antipasti were solid but not mind-blowing but still it was a good experience. The pasta with Italian sausage was delicious, and those baked potatoes? Absolute heaven. Talk about dessert, the tiramisu was such a good ending. i had mine with limoncello & my partner had it hazelnut liquor 🥃

   I took my Italian friend for her birthday as the restaurant was highly recommended. It did not disappoint, she loved the delicious well prepared authentic food and they catered GF for her. Fantastic service as well. A very memorable evening and highly recommended.

   Very good set menu. Wine a big turn off. $180 for a bottle of Sicilian red??? Puleeze! $28-34 a glass. You are kidding

   food was excellent. A chalkboard of wine options (? a dozen ) , but maybe could have some greater range of price.. not everyone wants to pay 20$ a glass. There is more wine out the back, but I felt the owner was a bit coy about the price till we had a taste..I suggest have a wine list..it takes no time to keep an updated list, or be upfront about the prices..maybe display bottles with the price in chalk.

   Delicious authentic Italian (Sicilian when I was there) food with super friendly and welcoming that also has that balance of letting you enjoy your dining experience whilst being engaging. Will definitely start coming here more often! A good size intimate restaurant
