Osteria Coogee

Restaurant

👍👍 The owner of this venue worked with Gordan Ramsay for 10 years, if that isn’t a green flag for delicious ingredients and recipes then I don’t know what is. If you’re lucky enough to have Stefano in the kitchen, you’re in for such a treat. He is someone we described as being one of the rare people wh...

Vitaly Italian & Woodfire Pizza Restaurant

Italian restaurant

😠 We ordered the Margarita with chicken and the Capricciosa pizza for takeaway. We were very disappointed that the Capricciosa Pizza did NOT come with artichokes as stated on the menu.

Italian Street Kitchen Neutral Bay

Italian restaurant

👍 Enjoyed a meal here with friends before the Sydney Marathon. The 3 of us shared an Antipasto Board which was quite sizeable with a good selection. I enjoyed the Tortellini which was a good size and very tasty. The place was quite busy and so meals took a while and overall service was a bit slow. The...

🫤 Pretty average food; we had Pesce Acqua Pazza and Chicken Milanese, both average pub food quality and confused in flavour. Well presented but entirely tasteless. I wouldn’t dine here again.

SOTTOCASA cucina verace

Southern Italian restaurant

😠 I was verbally abused by staff ( I came a day early for my booking - my mistake)and reduced to tears in public. A first!! Leaving before my meal arrived I can only say the food was expensive considering the location and facilities. Yes. I paid prior to departing. Just the way I was brought up.
