When the property became available in 2015, Andrew and Michael Freedman saw an opportunity that was too good to miss.

We were seated outside, which was lovely, but there was no service at all. So this meant we had to keep going inside to order a wine or our food. That was a bit disappointing.

If you are looking for a fine dining venue other than the pubs, there are few options between Sorrento and Portsea. Portsea in particular has lacked in this space especially. Thank god for Pompette. The bar has a great atmosphere and mood. Staff are vibrant and the wine and food offerings are outstanding. would be my number one choice in the area.

Food was amazing as always but disappointed to see that we were charged for the chilli and Parmesan cheese that we requested to have with our pasta and even a charge for bread. Most Italian restaurants provide all 3 free of charge.

I ordered the Eggs Benny that came with pulled pork. Interesting combination. I did not enjoy it at all. The bread was hard to cut, there was way too much pulled pork and just a drizzle of the hollandaise sauce. Disappointing considering it cost $27. I don’t think I’ll be returning.
