I was initially a little put off because I don't like to see food in bain-maries, but the food was terrific.

Set menus are available at $45-75 a head for groups of 6+. I wanted to get a feel for the place and sat down and ordered an ice coffee. Well presented and refreshing. Not the sickly sweet type that u need to wash down with a glass of water. BUT imagine my surprise to find out it's not coffee...but liquid Gold. At $9 I think it's beyond what I'd pay for .70 cents worth of ingredients. Advice... Look at the prices first. I'm sure business will boom here. Great space and location. I just don't think I can afford to come back until I save up.

I ate there last week and ordered The veal scalopini boscaiola which I found absolutely heavenly ....Mmmmmm......delicious . So yummy. I will ask for it again and again. HOWEVER, The serving of vegetables accompanying my veal was microscopic. The veal part was perfect, but one bean cut into 3 bits and 3 little pieces of carrot was a shock after being specifically asked did I want veggies or salad & chips. A proper portion of veggies would have made the meal just right. The veal was very impressive.

However, what we have observed is a steady decline in service. The serving staff are blunt, unfriendly and rushed. They almost feel like they are trying to rush you through your meal. If it was just a one time thing then it would be excusable but it happens time and time again. It pains me not to be able to recommend this place because the food is delicious but the service makes for an unpleasant and rushed dinning experience.

If you want true Italian food like you would get in Italy this is the restaurant for you!!! I recently came here for my birthday and am already planning my next trip to Newcastle just to come back and eat here. The night I was there we had Napoli Style Garlic Bread - The bread is cooked in the woodfire oven and stuffed with garlic, oregano and mozzarella cheese, I can never eat any other garlic bread again after eating this one it is that good Margherita Pizza - The best pizza I have ever eaten, the pizza here is done in the true Napoli style, thin crust soggy middle (flip up the nose and curl in the sides) beautiful rich sauce and blobs of mozzarella cheese Pasta Alla Norma - Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente in the most amazing red sauce with chunks of beautifully cooked eggplant and ricotta Sicilian Canoli - Omg I dream about these! You get three canoli's filled with beautiful fresh ricotta. My Grandparents had another pizza and I didn't try it but they told me it was great I cannot stop raving about this place, it is my favourite restaurant in all of Australia.

Still, this has one of those really grungy feels about it, which surprised me in a town like Newcastle. Then again, I probably shouldn't be all that surprised with Newcastle changing and all that. Also, they had some pretty awesome beers on tap as well, which is always going to grab my attention.

Oh heyyyyy cray cray hipster bar in downtown Newy…read more I was in town for a bucks weekend and staying just around the corner. This place has just reopened and they're all about beer and dude food. The front bar has tons of character and there's literally one meellion beer specials up on the wall, as well as $30 punch bowls (normally $50) on Saturday nights. Plus $6 Tecates, ask them to make you a lagerita, you'll love it, trust me, or your money back (you won't get your money back, I just made that up, but you should totally try one they're great). In the back there's an eatery / bistro area with a menu heavy in burgers and hot dogs and parmies and schnitties and everything fried and American and good in this world. Anything fried chicken is seriously great. I had the southern fried chicken burger with fat fluffy chips and I've never been so happy. There's a pool table, too, and when everyone gets loose the bar turns into an impromptu dance floor. It's a ton of good clean beery fun.
