We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant from the speakeasy type entrance to the superb cocktails, excellent food and friendly service. The atmosphere is warm and mysterious. We enjoyed sharing the calamari as an appetizer followed by the pasta with pork/veal ragu sauce that is beyond description. As a main course we thankfully shared a delicious veal Milanese in bolognese which could have fed three. Best restaurant in Sydney by far.

Great service on a busy Valentines Day, the staff were attentive at the right times. We enjoyed ceviche, steak, roast peppers and more with a bottle of Semillon, and finished with desserts. Everything was shareable and we didn’t feel rushed out of an early dining time (6:30).
