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.

I was initially a little put off because I don't like to see food in bain-maries, but the food was terrific. My husband and I tried the veal saltimbocca and a couple of pastas - parmigiana (tomato eggplant) and vodka chilli. The food was tasty, the portions were generous and the service was friendly.

My estimate is that it holds about 20 people. Very cute. Service was great - so thank you. And the food was fabulous. I had the Gnocchi and loved it. Hubby had the pizza and was happy with his choice. Must try item: the Zucchini Flowers, amazing. They have their standard menu but also a specials menu. This would be a great date place - though we did see small groups of 4 and 6 in there as well. Would I recommend: Yes Would I return: Yes

Very disappointing lunch today. The prawn cocktail was served in a V shaped glass bowl with the…read moreheads and tails still attached to the prawns. It was very difficult to remove the tails and heads and there was no other dish or plate to put them in. No finger bowl or paper serviette to clean fingers after the operation. Sauce had no flavour. The chips were lukewarm so weren't eaten. I have dined here many times over the years but the standard has dropped and the prices have risen. Great location but the food needs attention. However, the staff were very helpful.
