A Taste of Tuscany, on Pennant Hills road in Carlingford. It saves some travel time to Italy!…read more If you're a local it's a handy little restaurant that does some good Italian cuisine. There's ample room to grab a seat inside although there is also a take-away and home delivery option. When in Rome, or in this case Tuscany or to be more specific Carlingford, we always seem to do what the Italians do and over order. A pizza (or two) to share between everyone, an entree each, a main of pasta each, a dessert each(the tirimasu seems to be the most popular option) and a coffee to help digest it down. And of course a glass of red that lingers throughout the night. No you won't think you're in Tuscany but it might give you a taste. Maybe?

This is a really nice little restaurant in the shopping area of Beecroft. It's not often you find…read morea fine dining establishment in the suburbs out on its own, but this does a great job (apparently for 20+ years) of quality Italian food in a stylish little shop front. Only a dozen tables or so, the service was attentive and charming without being overbearing. They were quick with a laugh and a good-natured joke. The stand-out attribute of the food was the portion sizes. It's not often you order pork belly and get something the size of a full pork roast, but it happened here and with a delicious mustardy sauce and crunchy potatoes was the highlight of our meal. The tomato salad was a bit lacklustre (the tomatoes were a bit too bland for it), but the veal saltimbocca was very good as was the scallops with mushrooms and prosciutto. We gave it our best shot but ended up leaving a fair bit on the plate, which the staff were only too happy to put in a doggy bag (and we weren't the only ones leaving with some left-overs). We'll definitely keep this in mind for a quiet romantic dinner again... we might just skip lunch first next time!

Anema E Core is a little restaurant (there is only two tables inside opposite their massive coffee machine and their indoor wood fired pizza oven, the rest of the tables are outside and with the weather being rainy they were not set up yet. We ordered the 4 Formaggi (Gorgonzola, Smoked buffalo Mozzarella, fiordilatte, Shaved Parmesan, basil,olive oil) Crudo E Rucola ( Rocket, prosciutto, shaved Parmesan, basil, olive oil) and for dessert the Nutella pizza all for takeaway. The base is ridiculously soft! I am in heaven. Nom nom nom I love this place! Staff are friendly and the chefs have a think Italian accent which adds to the authenticity of this tiny restaurant. We have booked to go again this Sunday, looking forward to trying their other pizzas and the coffee! Ciao :)

I absolutely love this place! It does pizza just like Italy. I had to look back at photos from when…read morewe were in Tuscany just to make sure I wasn't just making that up! Hubby and I come here at lease once a week for lunch and tonight we tried them out for dinner. Firstly, lunch. Pizzas and Paninis are the focus. They have $5 pizza - lunch size specials which have such soft chewy dough that we just love with fresh ingredients and lots of cheesy goodness on top. We usually end up ordering margherita and hot salami plus a Nutella calzone. The Nutella calzone fresh out of the oven can burn as you just can't wait to eat it but it is so good fresh! They do have some sitting there if you can't wait but you can have them make the pizzas to order. It takes all but 5 minutes most of the time to make the lunchtime size pizzas. Haven't had the chance to try their paninis but they are reasonably priced with it priced based on how many items you want on it. Dinner- this place is pumping at night! We didn't book but came in early for dinner (6pm!). I'd suggest to book as it is so popular! They have those metre pizzas if you're interested but as we have it all the time, we thought we'd try their specials. We weren't disappointed! They don't have a standard dinner menu, it seems it's either pizzas or their specials which is how we like it. Christian seems to have his specials based on produce availability which works for us! We had full 3 course menu as we couldn't help but want all the specials. Entrees- The prawns wrapped in speck just brought out the flavoursome freshness of the prawns. It also came with some bread. The calamari and zucchini fritters were well fried. Not too oily and light. We had Tuscan pasta (Fisarmoniche pasta - had to look it up as I'd never seen it before!) with speck, Gorgonzola cheese and walnut. Sounds odd but it worked. Well balanced flavours and tasty! We also had the spaghetti marinara which had some clams, mussels, prawn and scallops. Pasta was al dente and had the seafood saltiness to it. Delicious! We couldn't resist having dessert even though we were so full! We chose the Tuscan dessert special as it was something a bit different plus the Tiramisnu. Our usual pizza chef from lunch time sold it to us when we spoke to him earlier in the evening that Christian's wife had made the Tiramisu. The tiramisu was just awesome and I'd come back just for it. Looks like they had some you could take away! The Tuscan dessert had cantuccini (biscotti) and a fig/almond tart which was the tiniest slice I'd ever seen but it was very rich so tiny for a good reason! The biscotti wasn't too hard and just right for after dinner and went well with hubby's macchiato. Definately a great place and the staff are so friendly. Always feel welcomed to come here even when the place is pumping and busy!

Awesome food to eat. The pizza menu and pasta menu were generous and quite tasty. The service was…read morequick and professional. The only things I could fault: - As a university student, I struggled to find a lot of items that were affordable. The place is considered to be very expensive. However, it is expected - the presentation of the restaurant basically gives this away. - I remember one dish that's as absolutely not worth the price. This was the lamb skewers- Very expensive for such a small serving. Make sure that if you plan to dine in here that you wear fancy clothes

I'm surprised I'm the first person to review this place. From the road you think this place is just…read morea small local Italian joint but it actually extends all the way down the back and is packed on weekends. They have 2 seating times on weekends so make sure you book or you're not going to find a free table. I had high hopes for this place and it delivered. Great atmosphere and great Italian service. I loved how the menu was so different from other Italian places I've been to. That being said they have a very extensive menu which made it difficult to choose from. My only complaint would be that our pizza entree was really salty and my duck ragu was a tad salty but the rest of my table loved their choices. The waiter recommended the linguine con salsiccie e porcini and it was a fabulous recommendation. For anyone as obsessed with truffle as I am, this is definitely the dish for you! There will definitely have to be a trip back for round 2!

I've been here quite a few times but held off reviewing it in the hope that it'll get better. I…read morehave to agree with some of the other reviews that its pretty average. Its not bad but it just has potential to be so much better. It's in a decent location, has plenty of seating inside and out, plenty of parking, and is decked out really well. Their menu has plenty of options, the staff are friendly and the prices aren't too bad. Some of the food is a bit on the pricey side but then the drinks are really cheap so I guess it all works out in the end. The reason I can only give it 3 stars is that every time the food has come out its been the same, presentation is amazing but taste is not. They seriously put together some brilliant looking meals but the taste just isn't there. Last time I visited I had one of their pizzas for the first time. Honestly I've had better from Domino's or Pizza Hut so that kinda sealed the deal for me. They do BYO so if I wanted a place to meet some mates, have a few wines and some average food i'd happily go there. If I was after a really nice meal - I'd look elsewhere. A mate that used to go there a lot said it doesn't work as its a middle eastern family trying to do italian food. Not sure if that's true or if thats the reason but there is unfortunately something holding it back from being great.

Partial towards pizza? Fond of fettuccine? Gaga over gnocchi? Rave about ravioli? Love lasagne?…read more You're in luck -Millone's features all your favourite types of pizza and pasta, served with an array of authentic Italian sauces, carefully prepared on the spot. We ordered a table for five for my brother's birthday dinner a few months ago and were seated in a cosy booth. The menu offers a range of starters, platters to share, pastas, over 20 types of pizza, risottos, great grilled steaks, veal and chicken dishes, served with potatoes and seasonal veggies, seafood dishes and salads. Gluten free options are also available. We started our meal with the reliably delicious insalata Caprese: the classic Italian salad that combines red, juicy tomatoes, aromatic basil, fresh mozzarella cheese and a splash of extra-virgin olive oil ($12). Pair this with generous hunks of crusty garlic bread, fresh from the oven and a refreshing 500ml San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water-bliss! Moving on to the mains, I chose the gnocchi aurora ($19.90)-served with napoletana sauce which was tossed with a touch of cream and promptly delivered by a delightful waitress. In fact, the service was attentive during the whole evening and there was an efficient flow to our dining experience even though the place was packed. Anytime one of us needed more water or another serving of garlic bread, the waitress would appear out of thin air; I never had to get her attention. As a group, we all really enjoyed the satay chicken pizza ($20.90) which features the chef's signature peanut sauce. The serving sizes are quite big so if you want to try a few different things and still have room for dessert, I'd suggest skipping the entree entirely. We were so full towards the end but a birthday wouldn't be complete without dessert. The waitress realized what the occasion was when we were handing my brother gifts and cards while enjoying freshly roasted coffee, and appeared five minutes later with a slice of cake and a candle for him, and we sang Happy Birthday in the restaurant. A really nice touch. The nutella pizza ($14.90)-topped with icing sugar, cream & fresh strawberries was impossible to say no to and a heavenly indulgence for those with a sweet tooth like me. If I was nitpicking, I would say the restaurant is a teeny-weeny overpriced (mains can be as high as $40) and can get noisy (I was struggling to hear the person sitting right next to me). Otherwise, a flawless dining experience! Pair tasty, authentic Italian fare with the warmest and most welcoming service this side of Italy, and I've just found my favourite new hotspot for a classy Italian lunch or dinner!
