We started with a great "Tagliere italiano" as entrée, a selection of Italian cheeses and cold meats. Then we had gnocchi and "Patat'a'luna" pizza which was absolutely fantastic. The pizza is very similar to our beloved Neapolitan pizza and we really enjoyed it. We also had a bottle of Valpolicella, which was perfect for our dinner. At the end, we finished with the Tiramisu and a really tasty Nutella Baked Cake which was just fantastic! Absolutely recommended. We will be back for sure!

Really nice outdoor seating and perfect outdoor area for kids to play while they wait for pizza. Often see the same people here, so a good meeting point for locals. Bring your bottle if you want, and a bottle shop just up the road. Creamy Pastas are worth getting. And all the pizzas are great. Always friendly staff too! The only con is it is too popular for delivery!

Really yummy pizza!!…read more My cousins discovered this place and raved about the pizza, so we ordered it on a Friday night. We called and ordered three pizza and they said it would be 30 minutes. We drove there from the city and got there in like 15 minutes. Parking is as bit of a challenge, but luckily someone was pulling out and we got a spot. This place was packed! The kitchen was tiny, four chefs crowded around the stove making pizzas. We had to wait about 15 minutes and walked around. There were a few other restaurants, but they were all fairly empty. Got the pizza and it smelled so good. Couldn't wait to eat it. We ordered the fratelli's - with mushroom, rocket and proscuitto, the Napolenta - which had olives and sardines and the Gamberoni, which had prawns, garlic and lemon. The Fratelli was delicious and they didn't skimp on the proscuitto. The Napolenta was nice but not a fan of sardines. The Gameroni was yummy and the prawns were delicious! Great place for pizza, probably the best I've tried in Sydney so far..

The traffic was loud but we were still able to have a conversation. Whilst the restaurant was reasonably busy, we were not hurried by the wait staff. One of our party had the gnocchi and it was good. The three remaining had a share of three round pizzas. There were metre long pizzas at other tables but we decided to do the traditional. The pizzas were not overloaded with filling and the crusts were tough but edible. We joked with the waiter about the Fantasy pizza being made of leftovers. We are still in the dark as to what was the topping, but it was good. The Diavola was nicely hot. The three of us were able to polish off all three pizzas. On another table with eight people, two one metre long pizzas resulted in leftovers. I don't think they were trying hard enough as three of the group were schoolboys. The 50cm pizza can have two toppings and the one metre can have three toppings. An antipasti plate was delivered to another table and it looked pretty good too. They followed that with a metre long pizza. I would certainly be back for lunch but I have been assured there are queues of an evening for this place.

We had the cheese wheel carbonara, which is quite the spectacle, and some Lasagna Fritti (which is crumbed deep fried lasagna bites). The Lasagna was quite good, didn't get much lasagna flavour as I expected, but was crispy and crunchy and a good snack. The cheese wheel carbonara is incredible, they trolley out this big cheese wheel, and put the pasta inside to melt and flavour it. It's quite a big serve (although they charge per person), and the end result is really cheesy and gooey. Note: You have to really like cheese for this dish to work. Service was a bit slow as they only had 2 staff on, but they were really friendly and helpful

I have to say that the 'almost famous garlic bread" will become famous. Then there's the deep fried lasagne, who thought of that? Totally delicious and thankfully served on cocktail skewers as small cubes, so just enough to be sumptuous without deep fried guilt. From there we went to chargrilled squid . The extra virgin oil they use here is premium and when combined with the flavours of tomatoes, garlic basil and the smokeyness of the squid... yum. We tried a selection of the pastas, my favourites where the pork and fennel pasta and the prawn ravioli for the flavour and silky texture. Then there was the pizzas which followed the same high standard set by the pastas. There's an enticing selection in either the red or white pizza offerings. Save room for the gelato!! You can eat here for less than $20 but treat yourself and you still won't pay more than $40 for samples across 4 courses. Service was fast and friendly.

He's genuinely Italian (not like those awful fake Italians that seem to be everywhere you look these days) and is chronically happy in the most relaxed and infectious way. And hells, why wouldn't he be when he's blessed with the God-given talent to create the most awe-inspiringly, pants-wettingly delicious pizzas in Sydney? You may guess from that little paean that this is my go-to 'za joint and you'd guess right. None of this pan base crap. No bike wheel-thin, brittle dough with an artisan scraping of tomato sauce and three pieces of gourmet pepperoni. These bad boys are dripping with love and quality toppings, stacked high with colour and juice and topped with tasty cheese and chilli flakes and those ace little Italian anchovies I can't get enough of. My fave is The Special with pretty much everything and the kitchen sink on it. But NO PINEAPPLE. God help you if you order pineapple on a pizza. What are we, Polynesian cavemen? It's cheap, too. 2 families feeds three of us with lunch left over the next day. Boom. All hail Antos, king of pizza parlours!

The cuisine here is classic Italian but my personal favourite is their thin crust pizzas (which is how traditional Italian pizza should be made).
