    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

    Like being transported to a private home in Tuscany. Incredibly warm staff and top quality food. Feels like a private dining experience.

    I celebrated my 37th bday with friends and family in zia rina. It was amazing. Its a small restaurant, makes the ambience warmth and guests close to each other. The traditional sicilian food was amazing. For 75 aud that was alot of food. my friends were really happy of my choice of restaurant that night. They said they will come back again!! and we stayed for like 3 hours!! we really enjoyed!! Congratulations for the wonderful food and service
