Sapori at Tailors

Italian restaurant

👍👍 I was taken back to a holiday to Italy when I was 16 eating at Sapori. Delicious authentic pizzas with a lovely thin crust and perfect combination of flavours. We had the Gamberi pizza and Capricciosa and delicious arancini with truffle Mayo. The team noticed it was a cold night and put the heaters...

Bella Italia

Italian restaurant

👍 Celebrated my mothers 60th birthday here. Ordered the arancini balls (arrived cold and found the rice to be hard but had a nice flavour), croquettes, cocktails, pizzas and pasta. They were kind to shout a tiramisu on house as a cake for my mother and brought it out with a candle. Also had the saffro...

Pinos Restaurant

Italian restaurant

😠 Pino's was a favourite for their conscientious ethical menu which combined wonderful authentic food, showing how easy it is to make delicious conscientious food that doesn't harm animals or the environment. They were a stalwart hospitality venue, its terrible to see them slip and loose the value tha...

Pronto Pizza & Pasta

Pizza takeaway

😠 Tried this place based on the good reviews. OK, yes there's heaps of toppings, however it all tastes like ham. We got the chicken pizza, which tastes like ham... We got the "monster" pizza which tastes like ham. Due to the over load of toppings some were raw, like the onion... if you could fin...

In Forno Charlestown

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Well, a new location. Hadn't tried it before. The food was delicious. I had the lamb ragu which was rich in flavour and the lamb fell apart and was not dry at all. Pizza was solid too. Will go back

LA STAZIONE

Italian restaurant

😐 Party - 4 girlfriends looking for Friday night dinner and wine 🍷 Location - average. It's not very inviting for a dine-in dinner experience. The place has no atmosphere. Food - average. Can't speak for the pizzas as we only had starters, pastas, and a salad. The garlic prawns and pear & rocket sala...

Rosina's Pizza Restaurant

Italian restaurant

😠 I just had possibly the worst pizza I think that I have ever had anywhere ever. Every single aspect of it awful. Very poor quality toppings, and way too much of it, all hardly even cooked, soggy and barely warm. The whole thing a tastless stodgy mess. The beauty of pizza, if done well, is the simpli...

In Forno Hamilton

Italian restaurant

😠 It was dreadful Had to ask for water cutlery, the table wasn't cleared but worst thing was we waited 2 hours for our food which included salads all came out at different times the last one was a basic snitzel and it took 2.5 hours to get served and it was raw. When we tried to find someone to tell t...

Hungry Wolf's Pizza Adamstown

Pizza takeaway

😠 I've ordered from here many times before. The food is typically excellent. However, the last two times, the service and quality has gone downhill very fast. On Saturday, we ordered for delivery at 5.45pm and it finally came at 7.45pm, after 2 hours. The meal was not that complicated, being 2 large p...

Casa Nova Italian Restaurant & Bar, Honeysuckle

Lime Gourmet Pizza and Pasta

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Wow, you have to try the Anatolia. A combo of Turkish sausage and a smothering of tzatziki along with yummy olives and cheeses - it is to die for! Best and most unique pizza in Hamilton!

Crust Pizza Charlestown

Pizza restaurant

😠 We get pizza here all the time. It's either nice or terrible. Well, tonight was terrible. One of three pizzas we got was "Chorizo Salsa Verde". Everything arrived cold, Pizza had minimal ingredients, and was probably the last time we'll order here. Should have just made cheese on toast at home.
