Easily walk in and take a seat by the window, enjoy the colorful glasses of the time reflections, breathe in, prepare a few minutes for your order. Try the Italian soup with nice simple Cibatta bread, following beautiful bolognese pasta, then comes the amazing authentic Italian style pizza. Crispy, tomato base and full of all sorts topping. Mushroom, salami, peppers, chili, and the simple smell of the wheat. Mingling with the fire, the genuine human wisdom and intelligence. Key factor to form a good Italian meal. Perfect ambience for a nice night dinner with family friends or even first date. A must-try.

Good pizzas.. not the best but it fed our crew of 14 well and truly. Their version of the margarita pizza was interesting but I did enjoy their Pepperoni which was probably the best of the lot. The poppers were not hot at all and the fries were a bit underdone for my liking. We enjoyed how they accommodated us so easily and gave great service throughout our time there which for me is always more memorable than the food. It is a night club so the downstairs dungeon toilets were a bit of a turn off especially with kids BUT it is what it is. They seemed to have a really good flow of customers which says a lot about the place and what they have to offer. No pics - we were too hungry to care.

Anyhow he took our order and we paid with cash. While we were waiting for our change which we heard him pull out of the register but conveniently forgot to give it to us on the pretext of serving another customer. So we ask him for our receipt coz we thought we got the amount wrong. To which he replies we'll get it with our pizza. We come back after 20mins to pick up and he says it'll be ready in a few minutes, but the screen doesn't show our order at all.. I ask another employee and he says yeah your pizza is ready and there it had been sitting on the rack. Clearly he just didn't want to be the one to hand us the receipt. Doesn't end there. I look at the receipt to show him that he needs to render the change and he completely ignores me, talks over my shoulder at the customer next in line!!! OMG!! So I waited like an absolute bitch till he finally had to register my presence and i specifically asked for my change back. Under normal circumstances that change could well have been left back as a tip and we wouldn't have batted an eye..but the specific slyness of wanting to keep it and then avoiding eye contact really pissed the fuck out of us! Not very honest at all!

The wine selection was nice and all of the food was tasty. The room is really pretty, but the chairs were extremely hard and uncomfortable.

I chose the ravioli which was a meatless option. It was so good. We split the focaccia bread, served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Service was fantastic.

Along with having a prime location along the pedestrian only strip of Jetty St with easy parking along Vogel, it has great art just outside and also inside the courtyard area. The fact that paint buckets and scaffolding had been set up inside didn't deter people at all from collecting inside Heritage, a testament to the effort put into designing the cafe. Our experience was determinedly efficient yet friendly. As a full service cafe, Heritage offers all your caffeinated needs along with a solid pastry, sandwich, and salad selection. Still and sparkling water are self-serve, but all other in-house orders are hand-delivered to your table. There's a range of seating options too: outdoor tables, a long counter perfect for people watching, and booths. Somehow everything fits neatly into the space without seeming patched together. According to the website, booths can be booked in advance too. My family enjoyed our Flat Whites and a Mocha (served with two marshmallows). The Friand had raspberry filling inside, and actually tasted more like sweet rice flour than almond flour - delicious even if it wasn't what we were expecting. I haven't been this excited by a bathroom for a while, but hopefully once you've made the trip you'll be excited too. Look for the door that's perfectly camouflaged along the wooden wall of the courtyard to find three separate bathroom stalls. Amongst the sparkling white furniture, something seems amiss. Before you drip your washed hands all over the floor, check behind the mirror for some truly efficient use of space (and paper towels)!
