My friends took me here on my last day in Sydney, and it was the perfect farewell brunch! There was a festive menu at the time that we dined, and it was great! 3 courses for $40AUD (or 2 courses for $35AUD), you know I had to get the 3 courses! For Starters, I got the Ora King Smoked Salmon Pate. For my Mains, I got Primavera Ravioli. For dessert, I got the Jamie's Black Forest Panna Cotta. Everything was soooo good! The ambiance was chic & cute, and the server was great! I honestly felt like I was back in the US for some reason! read more

I've been to Australia 3 times and 2 of those visits brought me to this establishment. My first visit was memorably bad. I couldn't recall the details but I remember not being a fan. My second and most recent visit helped extinguish that memory. Our waitress was very lively and sweet. She gave us plenty of time to look over our menus and made solid recommendations. I ordered the Spaghetti Alla Norma and it was pretty tasty. I also sampled some of the polenta chips which were surprisingly good. We opted to get dessert elsewhere but overall the food was pretty good. I'd like this place more if the prices were a little lower and they had more basic pastas available. I'm not a fan of seafood or mushrooms and can't handle spicy so I felt a little limited...although the pumpkin ravioli was tempting. Next time! read more

Quite literally the worst service I have ever received in Sydney. Came in with a hungry kid...something they seem to cater to with a wonderfully nutritious kid's menu (Obviously influenced by Mr. Oliver). Over 30 minutes to take our order and over 30 minutes to receive my son's food. He was so hangry by that time that we had to leave and take his food to go. As to the adult food (we got our appetizer before leaving), it was passable...I think the salad's were pretty solid but the pasta sauces lacked flavor and were over cooked. It wasn't a super busy night, it was just poor service. Hard to imagine going back when there are literally 100 better choices within a few blocks. read more

This was our first time here, we love Jamie Oliver and we're very excited to check this place out! The building and interior is really cool, it's also very loud inside but fun for dinner and drinks after work or casual, not for an intimate date night. The food was delicious ! We got the 'worlds best olives' to start, they were actually very good!, they came as a tapenade and as individual olives. The vegetarian plank was great. We also ordered the 'cannelloni al forno' which was very cheesy but good!, the 'gnocchi genovese' which was very unique and tasty, and the 'spicy sausage pappardelle' which was also great! The portions for the pastas were generous! Service unfortunately was not that great. They didn't seem to quit have the timing down right for serving food and seemed rushed even though it was not very busy. read more

My experience at this place was brilliant, I see some mixed reviews but I thought this place was spot on, and for the following reasons; The service was fantastic, from the minute we arrived in peak Friday lunch trade hour where we were put on the wait list, given a buzzer and asked to hold tight. We decided to take our chance and walk down the street for a few drinks while we waited, and to our surprise the buzzer still worked from 50-70 meters away from the restaurant!! In addition a phone call was received from front of house letting us know table was ready. Really slick operation for a place so busy, they could have quite easily have just seen we weren't there and handed our table to one of the many others flocking around the entrance. Once seated the rest was just epic. The waitress knew the menu backwards and was awesomely energetic. She offered great recommendations, and in turn we had a meal that was mixed, interesting and delicious. Perfect! For me though (a tapas addict) the tasting board with selection of meat, cheese and other treats was the highlight, and the way it was presented just added that unique flare that Jamie Oliver is renowned for and seperates this place from the dozens of other Italian cuisine spots in the Sydney CBD. I thought the price was really reasonable also. Can't remember exactly what we paid but I remember walking out thinking 'wow, that's a good price feed!'. The 2 bottles of vino though might of had some impact... In summary, some of the best food news I've heard this year is that the next Jamie's Italian is being set in Perth!! I anticipate being duked within the first week after it's opening ;) HOORAH! read more

Loved loved this place. This was my first time at Jamie's but I have always wanted to go, I finally got the chance to go and I will be going back for sure! Pretty much every aspect, from service to environment to food was 5 star. I have friends that told me they hated it and the service was terrible blah blah, but they are the kind of friends you don't need in your life. Hands down this place had my wife and I walking out with full tummies and massive smiles. Slow cooked wagu beef tagliatelle (special) , fennel and sausage tagliatelle was what we had as well as the arancini balls for entree and it was fabulous! Dessert was summer fruit Italian jelly and the wife had the epic brownie that she absolute adored! All of the dishes we got were recombined by the waiter, and man he knew what he was talking about!! Great place to have a night out with a few drinks and enjoy the city lights after a unbelievable meal at Jamie's. The only tip I would give though is the portions are not monster sized so if you want to be full.. entree main and dessert is where its at, otherwise you might walk out a little hungry. read more

I've been here several times and I just do not get the love for this place. The food is average, at best, and the prices are far too high for what you get. And don't get me started on the service. I've had far better Italian cooked at home by my husband for a fraction of the cost. Save your pennies, this place has a star name and a nice atmosphere, but it is really not worth the price. read more

I've now been to Jamie's a few times so I feel its a good time to review my overall experiences. First, I'm happy they now take reservations. As awesome as lines are, it certainly pushed back my first visit by a few weeks until ultimately resorting to name dropping. But on the reservations note, don't trust the online system. I used it the other day and it had no availability, but I called and I got right in. Second, is service. Overall I'd say I'm happy. Only one out of the 3 times was it a bit slow during the lunch hour. Without me saying a word, they acknowledged it and offered me a free dessert. It really doesn't take much to make a customer feel valued and they did right by my here. Plus, I got to try the dessert. Starting backwards, I had the JI Epic Brownie. Now, I can do desserts and I don't need to share. But this one is to share. It's just so rich (that's not a bad thing). A brownie drizzled in chocolate sauce, amaretto ice cream (perfect to cut the richness) and caramelized popcorn. What?!?!? I could just have the popcorn on my own, but the saltiness was perfect with the sweet. I admit, I've only really had the pasta. I've had the spicy penne arrabiatta, and it's delicious, albeit lives up to the name spicy. The Vongole Taglioline was light and tasty. My friend had the Bolognese (which he uses as his benchmark for Italian food) and said it was excellent, especially the crunchy breadcrumbs. But oh my, the Wild Rabbit Taglioline. Now I am not one to explore too much with food and I don't think I've ever had Rabbit. So it was nice that the Rabbit was tender and in smaller pieces and really just melted into the mascarpone, lemon and garlic flavorings. Excellent! Would definitely recommend. For sides/antipasti, I've had the famous polenta chips, which were very good, but I'm a sucker for truffle and parmesan so loved the Posh Chips. Overall, definitely worth a visit and I find the prices quite reasonable for a celebrity chef restaurant in an expensive Sydney such as Sydney. read more

Jamie won my Mother's Day custom with his rough hands and his wet bottom lip (seriously, am I the only one that notices that? It's like Paris Hilton's bung eye that nobody ever seems to mention) and he knocked it clear out of the ballpark and into I'm-now-the-favourite-son-based-on-that-meal-dom. It's a damn cool fitout, long and warm and kind of steampunky, with chandeliers and smoked steel and exposed fittings and such. They dished out a complimentary Bellini for the old girl for Mum's Day but she sent it back from a mocktail. Gonna take a lot more than a bellini to knocked her off the wagon. We ordered: 1. The fish plank ($13.50pp) - wild salmon croquettes with aoli were nice but needed more of a punch and pretty much everything else from the beetroot-cured smoked salmon to the anchovy and mackerel ricotta bruschetta with chilli and caper berry to the mussels and garlic clams to the pecorino with chilli jam was both delicious and faultless. 2. Truffle tagliatelle with portobello mushrooms - ohhhh, dat truffle. Smear it all over me and call me a taxi, quick. 3. Jamie's famous porchetta - for me, the highlight. A giant slice of perfectly rolled and roast pork, sumptuous stuffing, crispy crackling with salty, chewy fat beneath, oh man this was good, not just good but great. The best, actually. I die. 4. Lemon meringue pie with candied lime and crushed pistachios and mint leave and butterscotch dusting. Light, tangy, sweet, fresh, more words that mean things but can't convey to you how well we chose this dessert. Ten pounds of win stuffed into a five pound bag. read more

4.25 Stars. Had a fantastic solo dinner here on a Friday night, and of course, it was packed! Young, beautiful people is the primary crowd, as is to be expected in the CBD on a weekend night. Even still, it seems like it would make a great night out for a family with older kids, as well. I ordered the special, which was a salad with steak, and it was really special. I wasn't expecting something so delicious at what I thought would be just another trendy Italian joint, but I was pleasantly surprised. My server was exceptional, and I left her a generous tip to acknowledge that fact, which I know caught her by surprise. It was a great evening, and I would definitely come back, especially if I was coming along with a date or a client. read more

I was going through reviews and lately people have been disappointed when dining at Jamie's Italian (JI) almost like the time when they learnt that santa does not exist. Unrealistic expectations Unlike most reviewers I don't regard Jamie Oliver as a real chef (made on TV) and thus did not have high expectations of this franchise. My perception of him is that he is a cook that never really made it in the industry but became famous because of his TV shows although he did make cooking "cool" - cooking at home that is. Having a restaurant and serving customers is a relatively new venture for him. Food TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE Tried to order pasta as it did say "Our pastas are all made here" and I was right, the pasta was cooked as it should be al dente and the sauce was delicious and the only regret is that I didn't order the main size. (just realised dirty plate lol) WILD TRUFFLE RISOTTO Risotto was pretty good technically but not as memorable as you would expect. SIMPLE BAKED LASAGNE Worst dish of the night. Sauce was bland with hardly any meat on it. Considering the price, this is the one that will push the score down. Pasta sheets without were borderline mushy as well. OUR FAMOUS POLENTA CHIPS Waitress forgot it. When they did come, they were pretty good. I'm a big fan of Parmesan and they did go well together. Service Jamie got famous with he carefree sort of attitude towards cooking, and the staff there adopted the same attitude - carefree. One of the waiters forgot our polenta chips claiming her colleague did not enter it in the system. Long story short, the waitress in charge of our table remedied by bringing the chips five minutes later. That said, that should not have happened, I mean it's only Conclusion Only go if you're a big fan of Jamie Oliver (I don't know why anyone would be). Otherwise nothing ground breaking here, plenty of other restaurants to go to in that price range. I prefer those small family owned Italian places but are so hard to come by in Sydney CBD. With only one dish out of four dishes to come back for, I'll pass. @thesydneynoob read more

Heard bad things about this restaurant in both London and Sydney, never thought it would happen with myself. My husband and I got there on Monday night around 9:30pm. The host told us that all the tables were full and she would not have anything open during this 45 minute period. So we decided to dine in at the bar table. It seems like a self service as we had to walk over to the bar to order food and drinks. It's really inconvenient given that bartenders also know nothing about the menu. As soon as we got seated, I walked over to the bathrooms which located in the back of the restaurant. Can't believe my eyes but there're plenty of empty seats. Not that they were under reservation or anything because we saw no new people walked in and restaurant would be closed soon. We don't really understand the system here. If you stop seating new customers after a certain time, we understand but just tell us the truth, instead of lying. Now it came to food. I ordered king scallops from fish section, expected that scallops would be giant and came in full size entree but I got 4 regular scallops on the shells that looked more like appetizer. Taste was so so, nothing impressive. My husband ordered burger but they ran out, so he got hanger steak instead. Steak looked nice and well cooked, just under seasoned. House white wine has nice flavor and could be the best thing in this restaurant. Food was quick but mediocre. Service seemed to be disconnected. Given the unfriendly welcome from that host we got we would not come back and recommend it to anyone. read more

I visited Jamie's for lunch on a Saturday and was amazed by the great service and delicious food. My waiter was super friendly and more than willing to offer suggestions and explain menu items. I had arancini as a starter, and spaghetti and polenta chips for main. The polenta chips are one of the signature sides and they didn't disappoint. The restaurant was very busy, but the service was still fast. There are a range of drinks available but I really enjoyed the organic strawberry and elderflower soda. Overall, great service, amazing food and a nice vibe - I can't wait to visit again! read more

Located in the old 'Industrie' space on Pitt Street, Jamie's Italian is a deceptively large restaurant. As you are greeted by the young gentleman at the door you can cast your eye right back to the kitchen on the ground floor. I follow one of the young men up the stairs as I look down on the packed ground floor and I am asked where I would like to sit either on a table overlooking the crowd below or at a bench facing the kitchen. I choose to sit near the kitchen so I get a bird's eye view of food preparation and I tell the waiter I'm ready to order having checked the online menu before my visit, he tells me that Bruno will be with me. I wait for a Bruno and I'm greeted by one of the Managers in less than five minutes who asks if she can take my order. Once ordered I amuse myself my watching the kitchen and what seems like a hundred staff or so running around both floors. It's a hive of activity in Jamie's Italian and its 2:15pm and still very packed. Ten minutes later my Creamy Mozzarella with chili and mint salad ($16.50) arrive as I'm advised to try and mix all the Mozzarella, chili, lemon and mint on the fork together to get the full impact. What great advice this is as my salad is being treated like the greatest dessert I have ever tasted. I am only into my second morsel and the Mussel Linguine ($13.50) awaits my attention it is perfectly spiraled with mussels protruding out of the pasta with the perfect amount of herbs and a tin plate for shells. This dish too is simple and the flavors are perfectly complementary to each other. The portions are just right for a female but I'm wondering if my husband was with me whether he would need a lot more dishes or ask for bigger portions. Completing my meal I desire a coffee however being so late in the afternoon I decide an Affogato ($6.00) for a dessert. It was perfectly simple served on a cute cheeseboard with gift paper, the Expresso was so beautiful so to was the icecream a nice finish to a perfect meal. Verdict: Jamie's Italian uncomplicated quality Italian food with record turn around service and great value for money. Highly recommended. read more

Been meaning to try Jamie's Italian for a while but when my dinner date had a craving for Lasagne and the restaurant came up in walking distance from our hotel in The Rocks, Sydney - on Pitt street it was a done deal. I ordered the fish of the day and my pal was disappointed there was no lasagne on the menu (apparently it's been on previous menus) Weird carrots but enjoyable meal for us both in the end and we also selected Jamie's prosecco and Jamie's house white which were Australian wine choices Prices weren't too bad Service was great (not faultless as no drinks order was taken initially, it needs a good dust here and there and toilets were outside of the restaurant for the building - not very clean and without toilet roll) and there's no WIFI read more

I have to said I really disappointed its food, even I don't know what I have eaten. Something is really hard and taste is wired in my plate.

Jekyll/Hyde here. Okay so came here for lunch. It was soooooo good. The famous prawn spaghetti was sooo good. The sauce was spicy but not overly so with a good depth of tomatoes. The pasta, homemade, was sooo perfectly chewy. The ragu was really delicious as well with good meaty sauce and chewy noodles. The only thing is the Rosemary fries were very salty but still delicious. On this time, I def give them a 4.5. Service was excellent here too. Very nice guy. So we loved it so much that we came back the next night for dinner with some family relatives. Haha I loved it so much I ordered my exact same meal again.butttttt I guess we were one of the last tables to order or something bc the food was not nearly as good. Probably down to a 3. Noodles were overcooked, sauce was just plain tomato sauce. Only reason why I sway to a 4 is bc the server guy was awesome and really nice. read more

Not exactly authentic Italian, but it plays on its influences. Food is good not great and service is warm and inviting. They can get really busy during during lunch and dinner, especially on the weekends. Get reservations if you can or expect a 20-30 min wait. I'm a fan of their prawn pasta, burger and funky fries. read more

Have you heard the expression the customer is always right? Anyone who works in the service industry knows this isn't the case but most people bite their tongue, smile and give into the whim of the customer. Not here. I ordered the truffle risotto and on the first bite I got a mouthful of interesting flavour but underdone rice. It's one thing to say al dente and it's another thing to say raw. In this instance the still raw grains of gritty rice made it apparent that it wasn't done. Naturally I sent it back. This isn't the first time I've done this. Twice at Bouchon I have sent their truffle risotto back and it's always been with a smile and an apology. Not here. The server actually had the nerve to argue with me about how risotto is supposed to be cooked. (I wish my friends were on here so they could verify I make excellent risotto) Long story short and an argument with the wait staff and I get a second bowl of underdone risotto. Naturally I sent it back and had to deal with the staff again who in his opinion "was perfect, there's nothing wrong with it" so I guess I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to raw rice. The food itself had lots of flavour despite being poorly executed but I feel they need to learn from Chanel - always take off the last thing you put on. A bowl of risotto does not need a chunk of blue cheese. Certainly not anything amazing. read more

Jamie's Italian is always consistently good... It's a brand, the franchise, the same whether you're in Sydney or London. You're never disappointed with first class cheery service minus the wait so be prepared to down a few glasses before you dine - always makes dinner taste that much better IMO. This time round the Baked Mushroom Tart was a standout - light, buttery and crispy pastry with layered brown mushrooms & thyme was the perfect starter. Posh chips are a staple every time I'm here - truffle oil infused adds the layer of luxury and the Parmesan shavings add the bite. Salumi, Cherry & Pomegranate added the zest to the meal with its conglomerate of sweet, sour, crisp and sticky textures No room for dessert this time round as we also had the traditional crispy squid AND the fresh fish baked in a bag but GO THE BROWNIE - it's absolute decadence read more

I admire Jamie Oliver. Not only is a great chef, but he's a savvy, charismatic personality and his enthusiasm for ethically sourced food and healthy eating habits in young kids is contagious. So when his Italian restaurant opened in the Sydney CBD two months ago, I couldn't wait to try it out. A week in, and the place was packed. We started with the antipasti plank ($13)-a delicious assortment of carefully sliced meats including prosciutto, finocchio and capocollo; cheeses, chilies and olives, and a crispy, refreshing salad. The pasta is authentic and made with care. Every day, fresh pasta magically comes out of two machines in the window. I ordered prawn linguine ($15.50 for a small) which was promptly delivered by staff who seemed eager to please. Pair juicy, tender garlic prawns with a chilli tomato salsa, rocket and fennel, served on a bed of home-made pasta, and I was hooked from the moment the aroma of my dish enveloped me. I finished my meal with a divine dessert consisting of a toasted brioche topped with lemon and strawberry ice-cream ($9.50). Overall verdict? Affordable, tasty, authentic Italian food! Jamie being there would have been the cherry on top. read more

Not a big fan of Italian food, but Jamie is famous. I watched some his TV cooking shows and like the way he makes cooking simple and cool. Arrived around 12 o'clock for lunch, and already packed. waited about 15 minutes to get seated. The venue is cool, low-lit and noisy but in a pleasant way. Tried to order Gnocchi but sold out, I'd better try it next time. Fish plank: Love the presentation. Mini fritto misto with yuzu mayo is definitely yummy, crunchy outside and tender inside. like the citrus-flavored mayo, a perfect match. Aged pecorino is amazing ,so buttery and nutty. mussels and clams are nice but cold. Beetroot-cured salmon is a bit chewy but good flavor. Vegetables plank: love the aubergine stew, and pecorino cheese. Baked Mushrooms: mushrooms themselves are so so, but the combination of the flavor and texture is beautiful. These are starters, so portion sizes are right. Porchetta: Generous slice of roast pork belly, well-balanced flavor. I love herbs and spices except rosemary that I always try to avoid. However, the light fried rosemary is very delightful in this dish, not raw and strong, very surprised. The fried potato/bread crumbs? ball at the end of rosemary stem is delicious as well. The only shortcoming is that the crackling is not consistent, some parts are quite chewy. At the end, we were asked for tips, a bit wired for lunch? We gave him anyway. read more

Jamie's Italian on Pitt st is really excellent quality. The freshness of the food and ingredients is top notch. As a starter the bread to share at $1.50 is excellent value with the rosemary and salty bread a favourite. Highly recommend the squid ink risotto or the Pork chop for mains. Although all pasta dishes can come as entree size so you can easily mix it up. Drinks are reasonably priced as well which is good for an inner city restaurant. It is a very popular venue so now that they take bookings make sure you call well in advance! Enjoy :) read more

Mr. Oliver, you really know your stuff when it comes to Italian food. I didn't realize how popular this place was until there was an hour wait for a Monday night. The food was well worth the wait though. One piece of advice that I would say is that you should make sure you know your serving sizes. My husband ordered the entree size, which in Australia means appetizer. We regret not getting the bigger portions for our pasta dishes, but the prices are pretty high for this place. We ordered the tagliatelle bolognese and sausage pappardelle. Both were so good, like really good. Like some of the best sauces I've ever had in my life. The pasta was perfectly cooked and there were what I assumed were bread crumbs sprinkled on top. That made such a difference because it gave the pasta some extra texture that I never knew it needed. The service was awesome! Our waitress was actually from California like us so she told us stories about why she was here in Australia and how life there was so different from the US. This place is a must if you are ever in Sydney! And do yourself a favor and make a reservation! They are easy to get and will save you a long wait. read more

We had the 8pm slot and the place still packed. Beef carpaccio my way - really really good, beef absolutely paper thin Crispy arancini - really disappointing, no better than the average serve in othe places Bruschetta w pumpkin - daily special, absolutely fab Jamie's Italian burger - true disappointment w a burnt patty Seared tuna salad - a HUGE slab of raw tuna, really not pink, w salad Squid ink risotto - nice but too salty Seasonal orange n almond tart - good Epic brownie - really not epic The food is 3 star, but the place was unbearably hot, we were upstairs, n the tables were packed so close to each other that we either shared the next table's conversation or they were sharing ours. And the service was slow n unfriendly, there was only one card machine, so the wait to pay was epic. A real disappointment! read more

Jamie's Italian is a production by Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver. It's a hard place to get a seat in Sydney but serves up some great food from a very diverse menu. From amazing pastas to seafood and burgers they have something for everyone. I also noted the prices were very reasonable on my visit. The Jamie's Italian Burger consists of Wagga Wagga beef, fontina cheese, pancetta, soft lettuce, tomato salsa, dill pickles, chilli, and fried onions. A soft bun that supports the burger well complements a tender piece of beef. The seeds on the bun and other seasoning give the burger a nice herbal flavor making the burger worthy of its Italian name. The combination of the cheese and onions with the spices make each bite an exploration for your taste buds and puts this burger among some of the best I've eaten. For doing things differently and putting an Italian spin on the burger, The Jamie's Italian burger is highly recommended. read more

After reading all the hype about this place, I decided to eat lunch here. Unfortunately, I was left most disappointed with the whole experience. The food was bland and expensive and lacking presentation, the service was lacklustre, the atmosphere was dull (and not helped by inappropriate in-house music) and the table I sat at was extremely wonky! I mentioned this to the waiter, but he couldn't have cared less if he'd actually tried, and he did nothing to solve the problem! I don't think I'll be returning here any time soon. read more

What I had: beef carpaccio (not in picture), ricotta and cherry tomatoes bruschetta, prawn linguini, kingfish on lentils and baby clams (special menu) The beef carpaccio was excellent. It came with a sour tasting salad which I like and plenty of ricotta cheese. The bruschetta was also very good. Tasted very refreshing. Prawn linguini was a best seller according to them, but it was bad. Very bland. This was disappointing. Waste of tummy space if you ask me. The king fish was well balanced. Crunchy fish skin, salsa verde and lentils to spice up a grilled fish. Something I would ask my wife to cook at home. I also had two bites of the burger. Looks juicy but nothing great. The verdict. There are other Italian restaurants that are better. I would go to La Rosa or Pendolino. I paid A$150 for 3 adults and 2 kids for the food. read more

Pretty underwhelming experience. Food was quite bland (although I may have just been unlucky with my order). Had the truffle pasta, and it has very little flavour. I couldn't taste any truffle, and the only other ingredients seemed to be a tiny bit of cheese and some oil. The size of the olives and bread were tiny relative to the price. Service was generally quite good, but the food was very disappointing. I may try again and order something else to see if I was just unlucky, but I'm not in any particular rush read more

I love Jamie Oliver and I love Italian food so what's not to love about this place?! Pasta is made fresh on site and the menu has something for everyone. Service was a little hit and miss when we were there. We found that we went from periods of having a few different wait staff check in on us, one after the other, to times when we couldn't get anyone's attention. We shared two past dishes between us and found that the potion sizes were spot on. Food was vibrant and fresh and well presented. It's a busy place however the split level dining area means it isn't too loud. read more

**The Prawn Linguine ($32 for the large portion) was underwhelming. Overall a bit disappointing, considering this is a Jamie Oliver restaurant :/ If I return, I definitely won't be ordering the prawn linguine again. The linguine was cooked perfectly (al dente) but the prawns were NOT fresh at all. I'm not even picky! I had the non alcoholic ginger mojito $6.75 which was pretty good, but mostly ice. VERY noisy in this restaurant. Not a good place for a date. read more

A group of 6 of us came here for our annual Christmas Dinner and, unfortunately, we all walked in with a slightly biased judgement. We had pre-booked but were told that we must be finished and out the door by 830pm at the latest. This left a sour taste in all our mouths. Why the rush? This is a restaurant and not some high turnover establishment that can only fit a max of 20 ppl. This restaurant is deceptively large with 2 levels including a mezzanine level. Despite this feeling, we continued on and had a great night sharing food and sipping on some incredible wines, it also helped that the waiter returned to us and let us know that they do not require the table so we remained there until 1030pm or so. The table set up is quite rustic which made it feel like we were all sitting at some nonnas home with her melamine bowls and cups - HA loved it. The food was good, not great, but was still good regardless and the value is well worth it. From memory, the antipasto was the highlight dish. Overall, I think this restaurant is well worth a visit and I'm not surprised there are queues out the door for those wanting a piece of Jamie's Italian. read more

I'd say 3.5 stars but rounding up since I don't have that option. Pro Causal and rustic vibe - great atmosphere. We went on a Thursday night it was lively but not overcrowded. Pasta dishes were amazing. They were perfectly al dente and the sauce were yummy. We had the carbonara and the fresh crab one. Very tasty. Service was attentive. Meh There were no cons really we had a great dinner. The apps (fried squid and caprese) and dessert (chocolate sundae) were ok. Overall a very good experience dining at Jamie's! read more

Everyone has heard of Jamie Oliver's. I love this place in the Sydney cbd - bookings are an absolute must and I always go for the later sitting at night because who wants to feel like they are getting rushed out? Share some starters which are all delicious but then get a main to yourself. I usually can't go past the pasta but the salmon and pork belly are amazing too. This place is cheap considering the name and the wines mostly white are delicious - let your waiter (usually a hip foreignor) recommend you one. Oh and save room for the epic brownie for dessert - this place is a lot of fun. read more
