"Truely Authentic Italian Food. I live in Sydney where we have a fantastic authentic italian quarter, I also lived in Italy for a year so I have eaten a lot of really great Italian food. Consequently I can be very critical when trying new italian restaurants so believe me when i say i think i have had my best italian food tonight. I do not usually write reviews, but i feel compelled to tell people about this meal. The staff are extremely warm and friendly and the restaurant has a wonderful intimate feel to it. The waiter, manager and head chef had all greeted us within a minute of entering the restaurant. You very quickly feel like you are back in italy with the family. Although the menu is quite short with around 5-6 choices for starters, pasta dishes and main courses we seemed to take forever to decide between the different options as they all seemed so appealing. When the food came we were not disappointed. Each dish used beautiful fresh ingredients as well as home made pastas, i cannot express how sensational they were. As the restaurant primarily serves food from puglia I tried the Orecchiette with brocoli and italian sausage which is a regional speciality. genuinely i have not had flavours like this outside italy, and infact not even in the north of italy. My partner ordered the amatriciana which is apparently the chef's speciality dish and was incredible. It looked like a typical tomato based sauce but the flavours were perfectly balanced and the flavour sublime. For dessert, i had tiramisu, for that is how i judge italians. it is a simple dessert which is why it is hard to make it stunning. This was fantastic and innovative, the bicsuit base was more chocolatey and crumbly with cream some how melted and mixed in the base. They really have a winning combination here. The friendly warm southern italian staff, who continue to perpetuate the notion of the hospitality and warmth of the italians as well as the beautiful fresh food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a genuine italian experiance. I can't wait to go back."
