    Had a great pre game meal at I’l Duca on Saturday afternoon, prior to the football. Friendly efficient waitress, despite being very busy was very welcoming. Our set menu was delicious, and everyone at my table commented on the quality of their chosen meal. We will certainly be back.

    It was ok, we had a set menu because of the football and when we have eaten here previously the food was fabulous. The main course was good but the entree was all fried on a platter to share, nothing healthy at all. A fried prawn, fried piece of calamari, a piece of sausage and a mushroom - not great, would definitely recommend this restaurant but it's not great for a set menu.

    Early dinner for pre-footy final was a bit rushed so look forward to a longer stay next time. No complaints !
