The manager (possibly owner) and staff were amazing from the day I wandered in until we walked out after their closing time! The food was traditional and incredibly delicious, the seafood fresh, and the service consistent. Happy to dine here again. read less

My partner and I were reading a menu and were directed by a friendly host that gave us the full menu.

We were very well accommodated from the moment we sat down to the moment we left.

Our server Sophia was bubbly and very happy to have us and even offered to take our photo with our food. I don’t remember the last place that offered this level of service.

We were served our food in less than 10 minutes of ordering and it looked, smelt and tasted fantastic.

The fettuccine D’Oro was perfect and I highly recommend it. One of the best pasta dishes I’ve had. Well balanced, plentiful ingredients and you can instantly tell that it was fresh.

I’m happy to wait for good food, but to not wait long for extraordinary food is that much better.

Be sure to go out of your way to come here, you will thank me later.

While the service was not terrific, as there was a small staff at that hour, the pizza was just amazing. We came back the next day at the same time, thought the better of it and got up to leave, but Nuccia came right over, remembered us from our trip last year and proceeded to take care of us as if we were her family. She had been taking what I am sure was a well-earned break and having a meal with her daughter, who was visiting from Sydney, but prioritised us. My husband got the bugs and we were astounded at the size of the portion (see pic)! I got filet with Dianne sauce and it was incredible. We will definitely be back at least one more time before we head back to Sydney. read less

Excellent service and food Quick, efficient and delicious. We sat outside and watched the thunderstorm. The busy night didn't impact the service.
