This place was such a let down to our weekend away for my husband's 50th. We arrived at the…read morerestaurant at 7pm on a Saturday night and although all of their indoor tables were taken, they didn't seem to be slammed. We asked for the timing for take away and were told 1/2 hour after the waitress checked with the head chef/pizza maker/owner. We decided that a 1/2 hour wouldn't be too long of a wait and ordered. Long story short, we waited just shy of 1 hour and when we complained the only thing they said was we are sorry, we are busy. We got back to our holiday house and opened the boxes only to find that they messed up the order. They couldn't even save themselves by serving amazing pizza. It was amazingly awful and I warn you never to go there!!!! We only ate it because we were starving at this point. What a letdown for the birthday boy :(

I am happy to report that Artimino Ristorante Italiano do a fantastic job at putting together traditional hearty Italian meals. My favourite from this restaurant would have to be Bucatini all' Amatriciana, which is an authentic Roman recipe of pancetta, fresh Italian tomatoes, onions and Pecorino Romano cheese. Delicious!!! The is outdoor alfresco dining as well as plenty of space indoors. This restaurant is available for big parties and functions. We have not yet booked this place for a big party, but I am sure to do so on the next big occasion. The restaurant is decorated quite simply, but with subtle hints of Italian decor throughout. In the evening the lighting used is dim to create an intimate dinner setting. Service is impecable and I've become a regular of this Italian restaurant!

They close at 5pm weekdays and at 2pm on Saturdays (closed entirely on Sundays). This would be a 5 star review if two improvements were made: 1. Open later so people unavailable during the day can experience this great food at night time, and 2. The service staff are sad and miserable. The older lady who appears to be the owner/manager seems lovely and friendly, but the young wait staff do not ever smile or exchange friendly banter. They look like they're having the most horrible time of their lives, and they may well be. Perhaps the managers are mean, horrible and exploitative! Maybe they're overworked, tired, stressed. I hope not, but this is the impression I get. They're so sad. But the food is just amazing. Especially the chicken risotto! I hope the secret ingredient isn't tears.

I ate here after reading the one review currently posted and went in thinking I might add a review…read moremyself. Deciding whether to give 3 or 4 stars has been difficult to decide and taken careful consideration. I started with the Carpaccio di Bresaola ($19), comprised of a generous portion of shaved cured beef with a garnish of rocket, wedge of lemon, crostini, and cracked pepper. This was followed by the fish special of the day which was an adequate portion of grilled snapper served on a saffron, leek, and scallop risotto and dressed with a creamy lemon sauce ($35). Both these tasted great. The food was of a high quality, the idea of the starter was well conceived, and I appreciated the care to provide high quality daily specials using clearly fresh produce and that the risotto was al dente and well balanced. Chilled tap water was provided and as I'm working I also had a can of Coke Zero ($3.50). I was attended dutifully by cheerful and professional staff who cared for me well. The menu items were interesting, varied, and reassuringly limited in number. I can also confirm the tip offered by the previous reviewer suggesting that close attention be paid to the specials of the day as they're clearly informed by choices of freshly available local food (as well as their opinion that the decor is significantly dated). My concern about giving four stars is that the pricing of this meal was too high. For me, this is three dollar sign pricing for a very good two dollar sign dinner. The carpaccio salad would need to be bulked with literally 10x - 20x as much rocket to be shared by two people and while the snapper was prepared excellently and the risotto technique was good, it wasn't flawless (eg scallop too chewy due to overcooking) and the serving size, again fell slightly short, really indicating that a soup or dessert course is probably warranted for a fulsome meal, which needs to be considered in the context of your dinner budget. I'm wondering whether the location, on the waterfront with a curved frontage overlooking the beach, in a touristy town surrounded by hotels and beachside holiday accommodation may force their rent to levels requiring these kinds of prices. The food was good, the staff took care of me, and I appreciate the daily consideration of freshly available local produce, so I lean toward a rating of 4 stars but I will suggest the Yelp summary of this restaurant be changed to three dollar signs and I'm be interested in whether future reviewers will consider their dining experience matches their three dollar sign bill.
