Very Poor Service and extremely rude staff and managers. My wife and I waited for 25 minutes after being sat at the table and were not even offered water. When I finally got the lady floor manager's attention - she ignored the issue, did not acknowledge or take accountability and rather told us that the staff has been overworking, which probably means that the restaurant is breaching labour laws in Australia. When I tried to complain to the floor supervisor, he repeated the same issue and was extremely rude. We ended up leaving the restaurant without having any dinner. I will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I wanted a nice place for dinner and thought that I would try this restaurant. I was alone, but they gave me a nice table on the patio. At first the service was good, but after I got my food and wine, I was ignored. It took forever to pay and leave the restaurant.(it wasn't even that busy!) The food was also tasteless. I had the tagliatelle Bolognese, it tasted like there were no herbs or salt. I had them put a lot of Parmesan but it still tasted awful. I will never go there, or recommend it to anyone read more

We were in the area and looking for a bite to eat with our family. Total group of 9 people ranging from 9-75 years old. Everyone enjoyed their meal and would be happy to go back here. The standouts were the garlic bread, brascetta, pasta with bolognese sauce and the pizza. The gnocchi were a bit mushy. Certainly glad we stopped for a meal here. read more

Good food and drinks.I had the lasagna and husband had seafood risotto. Both had mojitos and beer/wine. The website menu is outdated so dont trust that. I went here for the fettuccine pollo but they did not have it. Not much of a view but outdoor seating was nice. A little pricey but overall good read more

Really great food and not a bad price for The Rocks or Sydney as a whole. Definitely splurge on drinks and desserts. They're well worth it!

My mom and I went for lunch today. There are places to sit inside and outside, we chose inside. After a long morning of climbing the Sydney bridge I was starving. We ordered sparkling water which was somewhat flat, then we ordered the garden salad to start, and a margherita pizza to split. The pizza was very traditional and I loved it. The salad was average, nothing super special. I did really love the biscottis they gave us at the end that was my favorite part. This is a cute restaurant along the nurses walk and I recommend it, just skip the garden salad! read more

I visited this restaurant again recently after a few years. The service was horrendous! One of our meals took over an hour to arrive. When we complained that it took a ridiculous amount of time to arrive the Manager offered us free desserts to apologise. We naively thought, "oh what a nice man!".... Until we received the bill that included all the desserts! When we questioned the bill, he denied offering us free desserts and said if we didn't pay for them he would call the police. I think this restaurant is a tourist trap. They treat customers poorly because its in a tourist area and are unlikely to see repeat customers. read more

We had the lunch special with house wine. The pumpkin gnocchi was quite tasty and the ravioli which was also delicious. read more

Appetito - Pumpkin gnocchi was yummy! - Italian Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Pumpkin gnocchi was very good. Pizza bread to start was cooked nicely. Caprese salad was very fresh. Service was good. Passion fruit gelato was very special. Overall, good dinner. Unfortunately, it's ust a little bit on the touristy side. read more

Wandered in here as another restaurant I wanted to try had just closed (@10pm which seems extremely early to me). Unassuming from the outside but once inside the restaurant was pretty simple. The menu was classic Italian as sit contained a number of obligatory pasta dishes and a nice wine selection. Pretty good Italian fare. Doesn't hurt that the maitre'd was Italian. Had the fettuccine (clear garlicky sauce and no cream) and an insalate mista which were great. Portion sized large and I couldn't finish either. Located in the Rocks area so a number of other options are probably comparable or better, but I thought this place was pretty decent. read more

Really great restaurant! The risotto and pasta specials were amazing. We sat outside and really enjoyed a beautiful dinner after a long day.

Went here for dinner and drinks while visiting Sydney and had an amazing time! The French Martini was delicious and $10 during happy hour. The pasta carbonara was the best I've had and the owner was super nice! Overall great place and great atmosphere. read more

Just had a yummy late lunch after a Sydney Bridge Climb, had the special for $20.50, red wine and the Ravioli and my husband had the wine and a Pizza, both delicious and well priced, will return there, read more

Third time at this restaurant, and my last. Food was good, but the service was astonishingly poor. No water for the table, no spoon with the pasta, that made it more difficult than it needed to be. First drink order never arrived. Obvious they don't expect repeat custom. Joe . read more

I give Appetito an Annika Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah is a 'will probably not return' on my rating scale). - Friendly staff and quick service - Good atmosphere - Very average food for a high price point - On top of the high prices of the dishes, there was also a 10 per cent surcharge on our receipt because it was the weekend, which I thought was very odd. I've never come across a surcharge for the weekend and it wasn't a public holiday. I can't justify the price for the standard of the food. read more

Great location less than 5 minutes walk from Sydney opera house. Food was quick and delicious. Great wine too. A little pricey but worth it for the location and atmosphere. read more

Great location in The Rocks. Inside is small and warm, as it was raining so wasn't able to sit outside. Food was good, anywhere you go they hit you over the head on drinks, cost almost the same as a meal. read more

Amazing food with a very accomodating kitchen. Loved the food and the hostess/manager. We had some dietary restrictions in our group which we had trouble with when finding somewhere to eat in the area. They were able to make adjustments to the pizza to accommodate which was great. For dessert I had the chocolate and coffee mouse which was delicious, something I would recommend to coffee and chocolate lovers. read more

Really enjoyed the experience due to an excellent pizza and a waiter with great personality. He convinced us to try their house-made vanilla & lemon panna cotta with mixed berry compote which was a great recommendation. Pizza was much better than the other Italian place we had pizza at just a few doors down. read more

Super friendly staff. Great food. Wonderful dinner special kept a Friday night quite reasonable. I would definitely recommend.

Food was good, open pretty late so it works out for tourist that sight see during the day and return late for dinner. We stayed at Four Seasons Hotel on George St. so it was only a 5 minute walk. Good service read more

The linguine ala vongale was disappointing as there was no taste or flavour and had only 2 pieces of clams :( Service was slow and staff were inattentive. We finished our meal and waited some 15ins before our dishes were cleared. Not recommended read more

The food was absolutely excellent. The lunch special is about $23-24 that includes any pasta and a house wine (a great deal). I had the Ragu and the person I was with had the Risotto and they were both equally delicious. The service although was a little slow otherwise I would give it five stars. read more

We ordered pizza and there was not flavor to talk about on this. The patio does provide a view of the cruise ship terminal

Traveling to Australia from New York and I wanted to find a good Italian spot. I got the clams and macaroni and it was so delicious! The staff accommodated us right away and our waitress always checked on us to see if we needed anything. I highly suggest visiting this place for good Italian! read more

This place is amazing, pizza and ravioli is to die for!!!!!! I went here with my boyfriend and we loved every bit of it!!!!!!!!!

This place moved from a romantic, cozy little spot down and across the street, to a much larger space, across from the ship terminal. Thankfully, the solid southern italian comfort food went with it. It now has various dining areas, and a nice patio, but the food remains consistently good. It's a nice find, and it's close to both the Four Seasons and the Park Hyatt. read more

Excellent service. The gnocchi is perfect cooked it just melts in your mouth. Five stars.

We love Italy and this pasta is amazing!! Fresh pasta and cooked aldente! We will be back for sure!!!!

Waitress from Israel was sweet, wine was good,but the caprese salads we each ordered were lacking. They didn't need the tasteless crunchie things on top for drama. Good amount of cheese and tomatoes,but barely any basil. Google CAPRESE salad and see what you get. More BASIL!!! We were going to order more food, but based on the salads, we opted to skip it. read more

Delicious drinks, subpar pizza and seafood, and terrible service. Spend your money elsewhere.

Our concierge recommended Appetito to us. We were so pleased. My wife said that her minestrone was the best she had ever had. My pasta of the day was excellent A great choice for our first night in Sydney read more

Horrible service, waited 10 mins for a table after "booking" - the menu doesn't match what's advertised on the website. We ended up leaving after waiting another 10 mins before being offered some water. Go elsewhere read more

Small portions, way over priced and they're so cheap they charge you 3.00 per person just to sit down... Don't bother! Never again.

Terrible. The services was a disgrace and the food made me feel a little sick. We had to ask twice for table water, 20 mins later 2 glasses arrived, I had to walk to another table and borrow their water. The drinks order came 2 mins before the food, which took forever. The food was bad, it looked and tasted cheap. Some of the ingredients on my pizza including the capsicum appeared to be out of a tin. The pizza base wasn't as good as I have made myself at home as an amateur. I've lived in Sydney 8 years, there are other much better places that cost the same near by such as Young Alberts. Sadly this place is the usual tourist trap, I would recommend you give it a miss! read more

Pasta of the day was fantastic! The pizza had the perfect crust and sauce which is what is lacking in all other pizzas. Great spot for delicious Italian food. read more

This restaurant was in a nice location. The service was a little slow, but the food was pretty good. I had fettuccine alfredo with chicken, which tasted primarily like Parmesan cheese (one of my favorite flavors). The garlic bread was also superb. In my opinion, the portion sizes were a little large, so if you're not hungry it might be good to split an entire. I would most likely come here again if I had an Italian food craving. read more

Best experience yet. We arrived early for dinner without reservations were seated immediately. Host/ manager and waiter were very good and gave us excellent service. We did notice as it got later this place gets busy so the waiters and staff do become stretched and may not be as attentive to your tables needs. Food was excellent we had a pizza, pasta dish, salad and the pumpkin with drinks out bill was around $100 and we had leftovers for lunch the following day. I plan on returning here again. read more

My husband and I ate here two nights in a row (restaurant pickings are pretty slim on Sunday night in Sydney.) The waitress was great, brought us a complimentary appetizer. I had chicken, which was really delicious and my husband had lasagna, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The second night I had very good raviolis and he had pizza, which he said was good. Prices were not inexpensive, but the food was pretty tasty. We had the same Italian waitress the second night, I think she was a little surprised to see us again so soon. Probably the best meal we had in Sydney with the exception of great skewers at Foodie Friday on Arygyll Street. read more

Great Italian in the Rocks, my first visit, service was great although not crowded. Sat out the back, great outlook but got a bit cold when the wind picked up, will be great in spring & summer. Food was great I had Veal Scaloppine, my colleagues had Pollo Alla Cacciatora (chicken) and Tagliata (serloin steak) all very happy with our selections. Will visit again soon. read more
