We went with two medium pies, which is enough to leave you satisfied. The Diavola pie had spicy salami, peppers, and sausage and we went with the chicken mushroom pie as well. My favorite of the two was the Diavola as I enjoy spicy foods and the chilis left a good mark! We paired it with a glass of Black Thorn Pinot Noir from Victoria and a local Moscato.

If you're visiting Australia, wouldn't make this chain one of your stops. Overpriced for the view…read more Food doesn't live up to that price point. Unfortunately chosen out of convenience since we were staying at the Ovolo. We got pizza and salad to share. The pizza was watery/runny. And not runny because of the sauce, maybe from the juices from the ingredients on top? Regardless, the only good part of that pizza was the oven-fired crust. Sad. Salad was actually OK, but it was a side salad. Maybe a full version was the way to go? Service was terrible. After getting our order, never saw our server again. There was apparently a large party upstairs, which meant everyone else was neglected. Not the best experience here...

I Crinitis has a number of locations for their Italian bar and restaurant in Sydney, Newcastle and…read moreMelbourne. We visited the Woolloomooloo spot which has an ideal location on the waterfront at the wharf. There's a bunch of restaurants at Woolloomooloo wharf, packed with diners eager for a social lunch or dinner out and a drink or two. Crinitis by far has the best vibe of the restaurants here and it is suitable for all different crowds - family, couples, friends, parties and events. The private section upstairs has it's own bar and is the perfect space for private functions/events. The space is casual and comfortable and there's plenty of space here. Wooden furniture and wicker chairs and Italian wall art. Although you can sit on a lovely table outside, there's plenty of space inside too and be sure to check it out, because as you walk inside, the first thing you will notice are the superbike Ducati's hanging from the ceiling! We were super impressed to see a very extensive menu comprised of pizza, pasta, meats, salads, and light meals. In the salad section, there is plenty of choice from burrata to salmon, octopus or the salad we chose; the quinoa and cranberry salad, a good super good choice. Our other salad was topped with some beautiful fresh figs (actually on the light meal list). Other light meals on offer include bunless burgers, grilled fish and salmon and a shred pasta just to name a few, so if you're on a healthy kick, there is certainly plenty to choose from. For those into a good pizza or pasta, this is your place. You can get vegan and gluten free options too. They are also good for sharing. On this visit, we elected to get a pasta and chose the pumpkin gnocchi and the crab linguine. The crab linguine, made with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, confit cherry tomatoes and asparagus making smashing sauce to go with the crab meat and fresh pasta made for a delicious plate! Next time we'll leave space for a Mac 'n' cheese pizza! There's also huge skewers, meat options from the grill, sides and we can honestly say this has got to be one of the biggest menus we've ever seen! That's why it's the best meet up spot for family and friends. Drinks wise you can get fresh juices and alcoholic drinks. We were there on a Sunday afternoon so just had some juices; the Vit C Booster Juice and watermelon breeze. The food here is delicious and service is friendly and lively. We thoroughly recommend a visit.

I went to La Botte D'oro with a friend once, half the challenge was walking there as she was…read morecertain that she was too hungry to walk two blocks and I barely was able to stop her from buying some prawn crackers from a Chinese Restaurant en route. We got there and took our seats outside. The seats were already outside, we didn't rearrange the furniture, but we sat outside on seats that had been placed there at the start of the night. We ordered some food and drank our wine. The restaurant is BYO wine only. She knocked her wine over and onto my lap. We had a laugh. I cried inside. That was my best lap. This wasn't the best experience of La Botte D'oro, but I must say that the food was amazing and the service was also really good. So what I'm going to do now is an old literary technique. I'm going to fast forward to another time I frequented this restaurant. It's a cool autumn night and the moon is aglow in the sky. I walk with my family, from our various cars, to the restaurant in question. We sit inside and chat briefly over wine, and yes we "Brought (Y)Our Own" though the restaurant is licensed as well and my brothers choose beer over the fermented grape drink. We order food and there is some mild confusion as some of us have ordered the same dish, but received slightly variying platefuls. We sort it out with our friendly waiter and more prawn is on the way. A slight blight on the night, but alright. They were out of octopus and, I guess, didn't think we'd notice, but we are eagle eyed and once resolved relax back into an enjoyable meal. Desert comes and I steer clear, I'm not a sweet-toothed person, but everyone else seems to be enjoying it. Overall, La Botte D'oro has its faults but when the faults are rectified there's nothing stopping you from enjoying a good night out with delicious food, BYO wine and good or okay company. I recommend the seafood.

The margherita pizza was nice, from the crust thickness to the level of sauce. That plus a glass of white wine was a great combination to take a break from our city exploring. Did not try the pasta dish but there were no concerns there. Service was attentive as it seems we went at a quiet time (~ 1:30 pm) when there were just other groups seated and chatting. The seating is comfortable and the patio area does not have the greatest view, but just being in The Rocks district still has its perks. Recommend getting the specials!

The portion was tiny compared to the picture that had piqued her interest. The flavor was just your average pancake with a few strawberries and maple syrup. Something easily made at home. Oh well, the ambience was lovely right there on Circular Quay.

Looked and sound delicious, but I was there for one thing and one thing only - OYSTERS! I ordered half a dozen of the milder oysters. Price was decent and I brought 6 oysters outside and slurp them up. Just a dash of lemon and down goes the yumminess. It was definitely mild tasting and very creamy. It was really fresh and wished I had gotten a dozen instead. There fish and chips looks really good and smells fresh as people walked by me with a plate of it. It's right on the main street, so you won't miss it. It's also next to my other favorite restaurant - handmade dumplings and noodles.
