Having flavors like honeycomb, maraschino cherry, pistachio, etc. tipped me off that I was in for a treat, I got a strong sense that this place wasn't gimmicky with its dessert offerings. The stripped down approach really shows how good the product is. My suspicion was right -- all of the gelato I sampled (as well as the two I actually ordered) were fantastic. I definitely recommend the honeycomb, it was incredible, with real chunks of honeycomb and chocolate mixed in.

This place is my new, favorite neighborhood ice cream shop (we are truly spoiled for choice here in…read moreSydney). It's in Redfern's funky/gentrifying part of town, which means it's still kind of a secret spot. I have been here at least six or seven times and I don't think I've ever seen the crazy lines you see over at some of the other more well known shops. The ice cream here is made with the highest quality ingredients. In fact, they even sell the Jersey milk at the shop. My son swears it's the best milk he's ever had in his life (and this from the boy who grew up drinking organic, bottled milk back in Northern CA... so he knows what he is talking about). The have a small(ish) selection of ice creams, written by hand on a sheet each day. When they run out of a flavor, they run out, but I can always find another ice cream to try. My favorite is the Creme Brulee, but I haven't had anything here yet that I did not love. It is creamy and made by hand, and the boys that run this place are really, really nice. Give it a try, Inner Westies, you won't regret it.

If they can make their margherita's flavoursome and delicious, they are truly skilled. And Arthur's margherita is one of the best I've ever had! Just the right amount of cheese, perfectly melted, with tangy, crisp-tasting tomato sauce, and the most fragrant fresh basil ever. Arthur's also has some delicious fresh juices, which I love. Rarely do you get served genuinely fresh juice, but their apple juice was divine. The service was outrageously friendly, and the waitresses were eager to help and make you comfortable. The prices were more than reasonable, and I had a nice, filling lunch for less than $15, which is excellent. I'd definitely go here again, dying to try some of their pasta!

My family and I came here in need of dessert to complete an amazing night. Located in Beverly Hills, the place looks modern with open brick walls and service was warm and friendly. You can choose you Loukoumades from classic plain Loukoumades doused with honey syrup to selection of toppings you can choose from. I had the Loukoumades topped with Nutella and strawberries. The Loukoumades were fluffy and they were freshly made. The Nutella was generously drizzled on top. I had them with Greek coffee. Suffice to say Loukoumades Greek Street is a place that I hope to return to in the near future. Even my kids were confident that we will definitely come back to this place as we bid farewell, I found my kids thanking the staff and told them just that.

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!

Opposite the theater, this is a great BYOB Italian restaurant. While some reviewers give a 3 or 4 star - my 5 has to do with service and I just like the owner. They are only open for lunch on Thursday and Friday's - but I simply enjoy their whole meal pasta with Morton Bay bugs (think crawfish). Just ask for extra chili if you like it spicy like me. This trip out we sampled the arancini both ways - either 3 cheese or ragu with peas. Also grilled octopus. Our friends had gnocchi with gorgonzola and salmon with crispy skin set aside. If you're staying in Randwick or nearby UNSW - come have a meal.

Italian food at a very reasonable price. This restaurant has a great range of entrees, mains and deserts. On this occasion I had the Marinara because I love seafood. I asked to have Spaghetti instead of Fettuccine. This request was not an issue. I also asked for the Napoli sauce with a dash of cream. My meal was delicious with large pieces of fish, succulent scallops and prawns. I was very impressed with the portion size and taste. My partners dish was the Mushroom Funghi. It was also a good portrait size with large Mushroom pieces throughout the risotto. Dessert was sadly missed as I was too satisfied to eat anymore. Next time Tiramisu or the Vanilla baked Cheesecake will be on my list. I highly recommend coming here and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

We arrived late on a Friday night, close to 9pm, and they were close to full. I think they were…read morestill turning over tables close to 10pm. We've always liked this spot and used to eat at the previous Italian restaurant that was here. I think Tappo has improved the table layout - it feels there are more tables but you didn't feel confined. We shared an eggplant entree. I had high hopes for this dish hoping for luscious eggplant in delicious tomato sauce with lashings of cheese. Instead it was served between tomato layers. I found the eggplant and tomato were not tender. The highlight of our dinner for me was the Wild Boar Pappardelle. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the meat was so tender and flavoursome. Dr. Skorpio thought his veal was cooked well and the serve was very generous. We interpreted the dish to be a veal cutlet and when it arrived, he was confused and thought it was meant to serve two people - there was a LOT of meat. Clearly it was two cutlets thick - you can see the two bones in our picture. Simply served on mushrooms and rocket - this satisfied his veal craving. The dessert was not amazing but what we did like was that it was served sliced off one large tart and it had just been cooked fresh. I also noticed that they served Tiramisu from a big dish - it gave me that homely feel. Would have to come back to determine consistency of food quality, maybe sample the pizzas and revisit the review to see if we can nudge for 4 stars. If I could give a half star, I would definitely do that for the generous veal dish.

Full disclosure, we actually came here 4 times in one week! That's how good this place is! And dare I say this, but the churros here come very close to Disneyland churros. Yes I said it and I don't regret it! It isn't exactly like Disney churros, in fact, it's a bit different. Think of it like Disney churros little cousin. While Disney churros are known for its size, soft and pillowy inside, crunchy on the outside and super flavorful, San Churros is a smaller version of that. They also have filled churros (which I have yet to try!). This place is rarely ever packed but it could be because we go there at odd hours (like 2 pm or 4 pm). But I will say that it's never empty either. The churro pops are like a fried donut with a twist. If you've ever had malasada before, this is like this little cousin as well. The coffee was on point and that hot chocolate?! Let me give you all a fair warning, it's not thicc for nothing! You better have the stomach for that Spanish hot chocolate. Needless to say, I will be returning...multiple times lol!

They do keep any drink warmer for longer. They have a good kid-friendly area too. Basic, yet good.
