    We had the Tutto Bene with the addition of half a dozen oysters. Everything was magnificent. The service was warm and friendly, and because we go there twice a year, the owner and his son have been able to recognise us and we are welcomed. The food is imaginative and very tasty, and the wine selection is great, with something for every taste and budget.

    I did not remember the name of our waitress but she was outstanding and very polite. Lovely service from the team from start to finish. Everyone was smiling and the cooks were on the ball busy cooking masterpieces away. Amazing food and brilliant flavours! The drinks were beautiful and the noise level was pretty quiet. The crab pasta was divine, my friend admired it was one of the best pasta dishes they ever tried. The duck was amazing and tender, packed full of flavour and not over cooked. The scallop entree is unique using corn with it and they were very large portions for a starter (big scallops which means good value for money). Thank you so much and cannot wait to return! Highly reccomend you give this place a try if you are in the Enmore or Newtown area. Cheers! :)

    Delicious food highlighting unique combinations of ingredients. Wine list also notable for interesting options and 'not often seen' varieties. Attentative service. Great value.

    The food portions are really small (and I don't eat a lot) and the quality of the food was average and that's being kind! For instance, I ordered the flank steak at $46 and it wouldn't have weighed more than 120 grams and that was all that was on the plate .... nothing else except for a bit of sauce. Had to order some sides. On top of that, the cheapest bottle of wine (which are all Italian) was $75. Average price for two people would be You can BYO wine Monday to Thursday at $20 corkage! Average price for two people without alcohol would be around $150. I will not be going back to this restaurant.
