Good old Mum and Pop team running this establishment. After passing it every day for nearly 3…read moreyears, I thought my wife's birthday would be a good occasion to test it out. My expectations where extremely high and i must say, they where exceeded. I had the cannelloni, mum had the fish in tomato source, dad struggled to finish his Veal Parmigiana, my wife some creamy meat and our 3 year old enjoyed putting endless parmesan on her penne Bolognese. Nothing like home cooked meals, if you cook at home like this, adopt me. It is in the old school building in St. Ives, which makes it already extra special. Free standing building with outdoor seating as well as kitsch Italian indoor room. Parking never a problem, the atmosphere really throws you back to a time where medici ruled over the north. This is NOT a modern Italian restaurant or some fusion thingy. If you ever been to Tuscany, the low lands what is Venecia, if you ever ran through Verona and screamed loud Julia at 3 in the morning, than this restaurant is for you. It does not get any more authentic than this.

Well I'll definitely be back. We are from out of town, called in for a takeaway pizza and was…read morepleasantly surprised. Our order was taken by a lovely man who asked us if we would like to relax out the back in the garden style area while we waited for our order, which we did while having an ice cold Italian beer and a glass of Sav Blanc. Sadly our order didn't take very long, as I could have sat there all night. (Which in plan on doing on our next visit.) We had Garlic bread, Spicy Italian sausage pizza and a Mediterranean salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend Salinas. Deliziosa, grazie mille

One of the best meals I've had in Australia…read more We had no idea what this place was like, we were just up at the north end of the Hunter Valley and saw it listed no our wine tourist map as a place to eat and phoned ahead for a reservation (it was a Sunday at 2:30pm and places were closing). We got in and I'm so glad we did. It's Italian villa style. The dining rooms have arches and iron chairs and Mediterranean accents. The outdoor patio is relaxed, covered and sunny. When we arrived people were playing bocce on the back lawn. My wife and I shared one of their large pot roasts, lamb in our case. It was absolutely delicious. We love food served like this, meat and veg and seasonings all slow-cooked together. It was very European and a perfect excuse for a long, slow lunch on a hot, sunny afternoon. The wine list had an extensive selection of Italian wines. For those worried about air miles they also have a selection of wines - by the glass and bottle - from a winery just down the road. The atmosphere was continental and perfect, with happy families, leisurely lunchers, and lots of wine. The service was exemplary, and all delivered with a smile. If you believe a great meal requires a great experience as well as great food, The Beltree is a spot worth seeking out.

This place isn't the top-ranked restaurant in Polkolbin for nothing. Superb nouveau Italian with…read morebrilliant service and a small but well-curated menu. Lovely Tuscan staples like rabbit and porchetta augmented with fusion dishes make this a pretty faultless nook of bella Italia in the heart of Hunter wine country.
