The service was quick but the food could be passed on. The pizza lacked flavor and was not memorable. The crust was thin which was great but the edges were thick and the sausage was sliced pieces and rubbery. The pizza was better when we dipped it in lots of chili oil and the sauce from the gnocchi. The gnocchi was pretty good but very simple. It was a little over cooked and too soft. The rocket salad was basic and the pear was not ripe enough. Service was great though but I recommend skipping this while in Sydney since there are so many other great options.

Via Napoli is pretty authentic: you'll hear enthusiastic Italian in every direction, fresh quality…read moreingredients are used, a massive stone oven cooks food, and the menu has some very attractive offerings with the most important being of course, the pizza. I came with a group of 6 and we naturally had to order the metre long pizza ($62) al metro, meaning it could be split into 3 different types of pizza out of their 15+ choices so there's something for everyone. Before we did that we ordered some starters; the salt + pepper calamari with eggplant (this was awesome,) buffalo mozzarella salad, and sausage on toast (the name escapes me.) The entreés were good, though portions on the small side...but good start. Onto the pizza...I'm not sure what I expected, but I think I ate a bit of the hype machine because the pizza was just OK for me. The crust was crispy, dough was fluffy, but the pizza itself was a little too flimsy...flimsy enough you had to eat with two hands and the toppings fell off quite easily, so I found it more annoying than enjoyable to eat. I need to come here again to solidify my opinion, but for the time being, if you live near the CBD I wouldn't make the trek out here as there are other places to go. Order a small pizza on the side if you have 6 people, as the metre long will be gone in seconds and you may still be hungry.

Another fellow rolled up later on...not quite sure what he did. Many were waiting on their meals when we arrived at 7:25pm so we resigned ourselves to a wait as well. The waitress predicted 30 mins but it ended up 25 mins. There was one couple who walked out. Not sure if they had waited longer. However, it was well worth the wait. Pizzas were good and the other meals at the other tables looked OK too.

Really good Italian food, couldn't fault any of it…read more The Pizzas' bases were thin not too crispy and the ingredients were cooked well. The smoky flavour in the crust also kicks in, just a delight! The Carbonara Pasta was rich but not sickening and comforting as it should be. If you were after a creamy Pasta this is the one. If you were after a tomato base one, the Gamberi is fresh from the sea just with a hint of chilli. Overall, the pasta is cooked to the texture that would please most diners and well seasoned. More importantly, it is easy to notice that the chef plated it with care and finesse which indicates pride in serving the dish! Conclusion Great local restaurant, people of the North West, you don't have to travel far saving you time, toll and money as the quality is on par if not better than highly rated Italian restaurants such as Criniti's and Jamie's.

Da Mario has been around for a while now and we had been meaning to check it out, especially after…read morehearing alot of positive feedback. Some friends of ours had just had a baby and this was the perfect excuse to catch up and enjoy a meal at the same time. Da Mario is a large stylish dining space in the up and coming dining precint of Rosebery. There is plenty of indoor seating as well as alfresco dining on the deck. Da Mario serves traditional Italian fare including certified Napolitan style pizza, so you cannot make variations to what is listed. To start off, we tried the crumbed and stuffed olives, which went down a treat. We also ordered the eye fillet beef carpaccio which was thinly sliced and literally melted in your mouth and a minted salad which was fresh and crisp. Being one who usually steers past risotto, due to underwhelming bad experiences of the past, I was hesitant to try. However, I was excited by the idea of the beetroot risotto, which has returned this dish to favour with me. It looked nice on the plate, it was perfecty cooked and had plenty of flavour. Quite creamy and delicious. With Da Mario being known for their traditional wood fired pizza, you know we couldn't resist. The Melanzane pizza was quality, topped with eggplant and smoke mozzarela which simple and tasty with a light pillow like dough. Our friends were pleased with their pizza the magherita con ruchtta e crudo , a margherita with prosciutto and wild rocket. One of our friends had the special which was a steak so there are some meat dishes too. We had a great lunch at Da Mario. The service was great with plenty of character. We thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Italian cusine served up, and is on our list of recommended Italian restaurants to other diners.

Pretty good pizza!…read more Came here on Christmas eve for dinner and it was pretty packed. They were probably short staffed as it took over 10 mins before we could get the attention of a staff to get us some water. We had a pizza and calamari, and woah, the service was really fast. Food arrived at our table within 15 mins after ordering! Calamari was really good, a little disappointed that it didnt come with any sauce, just a slice of lemon?! Pizza was yum! Hands down one of the best around town, I love how the bottom crust was not soggy. Will definitely come back to try other pizzas :)

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!

Had a craving for Italian and heard good things about Site Pizza so headed down there for dinner…read more Bright atmosphere with some cool vespa's out the front in true Italian style. Greeted by the lovely owner and introduced to the specials of the night, so many to choose from; arancini, salt and pepper prawns, pumpkin soup, beef cheeks and much more. There is also an extensive menu offering salads, entrée's mains including veal, chicken, fish and chips etc and about 20 different pizza and pasta options. They are licensed and had a wide selection of Italian beers and wines. I wanted a white wine and was suggested the unwooded chardonnay, a very good choice! For the food, we were hungry and in the mood for a bit of everything so ordered a few of the specials, and had to get the garlic pizza of course. We started with the soft shell crab, lovely flavour with a light tempura batter, sitting on rocket, some cabbage with aioli. Although not usually a fan of soft shell crab, this was delicious and I very much enjoyed it! We then had the arancini which was a pumpkin and fetta and shallot flavour, crisp outer layer filled with tasty risotto. Generous 4 piece serving at a low price. The carpacchio was proabably one of my favourite dishes of the night, although simple, it was done well with fresh ingredients, thin beef, rocket, parmesan and a quality extra virgin olive oil drizzled. The beef had a great texture that melted in your mouth. For the main we chose the slipper bug (similar to a Balmain bug), pan fried with butter and garlic, not overcomplicating things - the way seafood should be done, side of salad and chips. Given we were at a restaurant called 'Site Pizza', we had to order a pizza. On the suggestion of the waiter, we went with the Capricciosa; a thin pizza base with a generous topping of Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, mozzarella, oregano, parsley and to give it a bit of a kick, some chilli flakes. Medium size - great for us considering the fact we'd ordered some other things already. The hospitality provided was relaxed and friendly and informative, which is reflective of the owner, making a clear effort to engage with the customers. From the vibe in the room, seemed like a lot of regulars or returning customers there and probably due to the good service and high quality of the food. Had a great meal and experience there and I'll definitely go back for more and to try more, and of course; the Nutella calzone - just too full to fit it in tonight!
