Menu, along with meat also has good vegetarian options. We ordered the Casarecce Alla Norma pasta and the Godfather pizza; It was delicious and had the authenticity of Italian food. We went there at around 6:30 in the evening and the place was super crowded which possibly lead to the slow service but the staff was very cheerful, kept checking up on our order and kept informing us regarding the order status but when the food arrived it was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious.

The pros: the staff are friendly, efficient and are authentic Italians. The food is nice and the blood orange granita was fantastic. The cons: a bit lacking in atmosphere, feels a bit cafeteria-like. When mains are $25+, I want a bit of atmosphere! The linguini was a bit bland, although the scallops, muscles and prawns were good, the flavour, spices etc were a little underwhelming. We ordered a creme brulee with orange infused pear slices. The creme brulee didn't have the hard, caramelized top that you break into but the pear slices were nice :)

The food itself here is good quality and the portions are large. However, a major let down was the…read moreservice. The waitress was rude and dismissive to our group of six, who were nothing but polite and easy customers. She also lacked knowledge of the food, considering she appeared around 60 years old working there for a while. Not only this, but we received our bill, and there was a 'dining' charge of $6??? We were not made aware that we are being randomly charged $6? When we asked staff about this, we got told that they add a charity donation to the bill automatically. Although for a good cause, customers need to be made aware of what they are paying for and cannot just be charged without consent. When we mentioned this, we got eye rolls from the staff. Very rude. Would not return here, would rather get takeaway so I do not have to interact with the rude staff!!

Staff yelled F*UCK OFF when I complained about their order mishap. I understand it was a busy day,…read morebut to have customers waiting for almost 45 minutes due to breakdown in staff communication , then giving them soggy food with no apology,you would expect a complaint is warranted. To respond by having a 6 foot tattooed man yelling expletives at you and the kids is out of bounds. The soggy food, by the way, consisted of $75 "worth" of four fish, minimum chips, and 3 calamari rings (I ordered nine, but apparently it was my fault they said) I was going to talk to the owners, but after seeing the place getting 2 stars at both zomatoes and TripAdvisor, with the poor service being the reasons for the poor rating, it's likely the problem is so systemic that the place is beyond help

Came here specifically for the pizza's they do a good woodfired pizza. The quotes written up behind…read morethe bar are funny and thoughtful. Found the staff really friendly and helpful. Table we were on (inside) required some repairs as vinyl was coming off at the edges. One plate was chipped. Otherwise looked clean and well kept. I think the owner must have come in as we were talking to staff just before leaving and found her to be extremely rude. Telling the staff who was talking to us that they had other things they had to do and rushing them away. Umm you don't think customer service is important? Now we're thinking of finding a different spot for woodfired pizza simply because of her. Prices aren't cheap and if the owner is going to be like that then, no. There's other places to go.
