Hello little pizza place tucked up in the Strand where you didn't think restaurants were!…read more We hit this place up after we did the Sydney Film Festival and boy oh boy am I glad we did. You see, it might be a bit on the pricey side, but this place delivers in flavour. So much so that there was a moment of moans when we each had a slice of the white pizza which had roasted cauliflower, buffalo mozzarella, truffled pecorinos called "Cavolfiore al Tartufo". It was better than .. well a lot of things and we might have taken a moment of silence to enjoy it. YUM!!! We also tried the wild boar called the "Salsicce "Mignon" di Cinghiale" - Petit Cured Sausages made with 100% Wild Boar and Black Pepper. For someone who doesn't eat pig, I made my companions order this dish. Not often you see wild boar on the menu. We also shared an "Insalata di Asparagi" - Grilled Asparagus Salad with Organic Gorgonzola Dolce Latte, Curly Endive and Lemon Agrumato Dressing. And I don't even like asparagus this had me rethinking my whole not liking it. The salad was divine, the salad dressing even better and the asparagus was out of this world. We also shared some of the cannelloni "Cannelloni col Ripieno di Zucca" - total vegetarian dish and it hit the spot. Pumpkin, mustard fruit, ricotta and parmigiano. To die for. A great little dish that would be perfect to share as an entree between two people as it comes out with 3 cannelloni wraps. We also shared a few bottles of wine that went deliciously with the meals. Blink and you'd miss it, it's on the top floor of the Strand. You walk in and there's a dark room before it opens up into a bigger room that reminded me and my companions of a gothic boudoir - or a coffin seller. Take your pick. The wait staff know their menu and can pronounce it - unfortunately we couldn't so there was a lot of giggles as we tried to pronounce what we wanted and ended up pointing. We had a lovely night followed by a lovely dinner here. The sad bit was that once you ordered trying to get a waiter to meet your eyes to try to get the bill was a bit strenuous as they all seemed to like looking at the floor instead of checking patrons. Which is why I dropped a star.

This little gem could easily be missed, but wow would you be missing out on some great food. I got the Glebe Goodness Bowl with chicken and it was the most deliciously satisfying lunch I've had in ages. Not to mention the open window seating with warm sunshine creeping in. Although my hunger was completely satisfied with the bowl, I had to close the meal with something, and opted for their chai tea. Wow, it didn't disappoint either! Comforting flavor, zesty spice, creamy texture...perfection! I only wish this was a place I could visit more often, as it was definitely worth trying more on the menu. Note, not great for large groups, as it's a tight spot with many solo window seats.

The service was good and friendly, although we did have to flag someone down to get the check and to get water refills. Overall, the weight staff works really hard and does their best. The food was pretty good. Some things were way better than others. For example, the tuna on potato was cold tin tuna over a cold, soggy potato, but the chicken skewer, special, the potatoes, and the prawns were delicious. The ambience is very festive and bustling. Lots of good energy and it can get a bit loud. Overall, a good experience and I would go back.

This place started as a Sherry bar and has evolved to a Tapas wine bar. Quality/Quantity - Slider - Good size (for a tapa), cooked well. Roasted Chicken Thighs - Just enough for two people, good flavors. Green Beans - Again, just enough for two people. Cooked well, nice and crispy. 1906 Red Beer - Good start. Good beer. Spanish beer. Well, we are having tapas. Wine is also available, I like the wine chart, see picture. Actually, they had a fairly good selection of wines; I should have gone in that direction. See menu and decor. Atmosphere - Got here late with no reservations. 2 floor restaurant, bathrooms upstairs. Ground floor is for walk-ins, upstairs is for reservations. Got seating in the corner next to the steps. After realizing that was a really bad location due to the traffic, I had the waiter move us. Indoor/outdoor seating available, too cold tonight to sit outside. Bar seating is also available. Open 6 days a week from noon to 11:30pm; Saturdays from 5 to 11:30pm and closed Sunday. Service - Hit and miss, overall good. Server was NOT very helpful but the good news is that the manager started helping him and service improved. Price - $70AUD, $47US expensive for what we felt we got. Overall, the quality of food was good but the service could have been better. The manager was better than the server. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2012 and your 4 businesses. Congrats on all your awards.

We had a booking for 8 people, and although 2 of us arrived exactly at the booking time, the rest of our group were still trying to find parking. It was a very hot day, and instead of showing us to our table to wait, we were told we couldn't be seated until the full group arrived and were directed to the bar to order cocktails instead. What disappointed me most was not the policy itself, but the way it was communicated. We arrived on time, not early, and I felt the interaction could have been handled in a much more welcoming and considerate way.

On the 2nd half of my honeymoon in Australia and when we were…read morevacationing on Hayman Island, many of the people there were from Sydney and dropped so many amazing recommendations on us. Well, today we're checking out Bistecca... a steakhouse speakeasy of sorts! Here's how it went and why it was rated #45 of the top 101 steakhouses in the entire world... Atmosphere/Appearance: Deep in downtown Sydney hidden in an alleyway in the entrance to this literal hidden gem. Lol. Once through the door and down the stairs you're taken to a very dark dimly lit, but very old-school looking tavern. It's a small room, but essentially a waiting room/cocktail lounge for you. Once it's your turn to head into the dining room the door open to the brightly lit room, your phones are locked away in a drawer which you have access to via a key and you're guided to your seat! I LOVED this experience because now you're forced to just live and be in the moment. The kitchen is wide open and you can see everything that's happening. The tables and chairs are scattered throughout the room and you just, BE. Like the good 'ol days before smart phones. Service: I can't remember the name of our server, but he was excellent. We had no issues at all. Food: The menu is extremely simple. You're here for steak. That's it. The steak is sold in 100g increments. So you order by weight. We ordered 900g and the steak was so incredible we both wish we could've gone to maybe 1.2kg. Lol. That's a LOT of steak still, but this does include the weight of the bone. The feature is a large, T-bone steak cut from Australian-grown Chianina cattle and grilled over charcoal. It's recommended to be cooked medium-rare. It seriously was Heavenly. I don't even remember what sides we got. That's how good this steak was. Lol. Value: The steak is $19 AUD ($11.84 USD) per 100 grams (3.5 oz). The conversion can trip you up, so for example, the ORIGINAL steakhouse in NYC (Delmonico's) sells their 18 oz. T-Bone for $76.00 USD. The same size steak here would cost you around $65.00 and it's the #45 best steakhouse in the world. Delmonico's is not even on that list. Do what you wish with that information. Lol. The sides were appropriately priced. In conclusion, I LOVED this place and so did my wife. We still think about Bistecca years after we've been there and it's 100% worth making some good reservations as far in advance as possible because this place is small and will always be packed!
