To me, this is what Italian food should be like. The most critical job a restaurant has is to…read moreprovide excellent food and these people deliver. However the little things like the decor and shop appearance could do with some work which is why they lose a star. Don't let this dark and poor exterior fool you! The beautifully crispy wood fired pizza is to die for. With an abundance of choice in toppings, everyone can be pleased at this place. If pizza isn't your thing then try the pastas. Start with the lasagne. A bit rich which is great for someone of my stature but a bit too oily for some. But the smell of tomato just envelops the stacks of pasta sheets and beef bolognese. Simply intoxicating. If that's not enough to entice you, finish with their tiramisu. Tiramisu done by Italians, nothing can be better. An added bonus is that they do take away and delivery. A nice treat for home if you can't be bothered cooking and making a mess. Although delivery times can be long so if you're hungry, I would definitely recommend picking it up yourself.

Found this place on a late night whim after our transoceanic flight and was pleasantly surprised…read more While not elite on the list this place hit. For the price (post conversion) the portions were heaping and smelt/tasted clean and I could feel the difference in comparison to my countries version of Italian but where it lost me was the taste. The noodles almost tasted pre al dente and therefore had no absorbing power for my pastas shio or gravy. I was just a tad disappointed on that but outside that this place is a hit.

My kiddo loved all the dishes we tried here. The vibe is really casual, you can sit down or quickly order take out. Mostly we ordered take-out because after a long day of traveling all around it was the easiest thing to do and close to our hotel. Staff was incredibly nice and helpful with recommendations every single time. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in Sydney.

Now if only my home also had lots of waiters so hot with their chiselled cheekbones, that would be fantastic! ;) Haha but really, this Italian restaurant is a classic example of a family-oriented eatery. Mostly Italian waiters, and a very traditional style of cooking. Our pizzas, as delicious as they were dripping in marinara, were so thin, they were similar to an Indian roti! But it was reminiscent of true Italian pizza no doubt. Their ravioli was lip smacking, and almost over drenched in sauce, but not chewy or dry and full of lovely flavour. But the king in all this? Pear and ricotta cheesecake. The sexiest love child of fruit and cheese I have ever tasted, it had a light and crumbly crust with a smooth filling covering bites of juicy pear. If you want a quieter evening without too much of an adventurous menu, this is the place to fill up on!

This place is a good old Italian family restaurant... with the best pizza in Sydney! Think saucy,…read morecheesy-but-not-too-greasy, fresh, hot, generous, delicious ingredients, all sitting on top of the yummiest crust I've tasted! I'd actually be pretty happy just eating the crust... it's carb heaven! I couldn't even tell you what the other food on the menu is like... the pizza is why you go, the pizza is what you eat... the rest is decoration! Service is friendly and efficient and it's the kind of place that works well as a cheap-ish date venue (make sure you're both eating the garlic! :p) and a great place for a family meal (or big group). I can't write any more... it's making me hungry...

Belloccio is basically a gay eatery located on Oxford Street in the heart of Sydney's gay district…read more Though the patrons are predominately gay male, that doesn't hold back the straights and others from being there to join in on the fun, good times very reasonably priced food. On weekends and some other nights they have various forms of entertainment like drag impersonation singers & etc. which I found not only the entertaining but also to be top notch, hilariously fun especially combined with their good food offerings. From the various foods I've had here, I can say that they have one of the best chicken schnitzels (16.90AU$) in town and also a very good grilled octopus appetizer. However, the menu is wide ranging with good pastas...they have pasta specials daily...rump steaks, salads, particularly their Caesar, along with varying other dishes. It's a small very cozy place with a sidewalk patio area, perfect for people watching, but can get packed on weekends so if going on a weekend it would be a good idea to make dining reservations in advance. Another joy of dinning here is the wait staff, ever efficient, professional but quick with the wit and offering plenty of humor.

Really lovely establishment with food above and beyond what you'd expect from a sidewalk café which…read morenominally indicates it serves pastizzi. We went in for lunch and I initially planned to get pastizzi but the lunch specials swayed me to change course and I'm happy I did. Really enjoyed the haloumi plate as a shared starter, four nice sized pieces of grilled cheese with perfect brown on them and a mixed green salad in the middle with drizzled balsamic honey glaze. The owner is lovely and very hands on with the service but it's not intrusive, just charming, and he was proud to share the secret ingredient of honey and sugar when I asked about the balsamic dressing. For mains we had a heaping portion plate of spaghetti boscaiola which came out with dishes of parmesan and chili powder to add to taste, and a chicken schnitzel with chips. The chicken and chips weren't anything special but the spaghetti was creamy and rich and divine, a bit rich at the bottom where I quit eating because the portion was so generous. I recommend going in for the lunch specials like we did, they are $10 for various choices, and the rest of the menu is not overpriced either. I will be back to try the pastizzis soon enough. Highly recommend this spot otherwise.

There is a large range of food from pizzas, salads to pasta dishes. The staff were very pleasant but run of their feet. The front counter serves ice cream and it is a place for take away pick ups.
