We were seated and this rude, abrupt lady quickly went through the menu and then rushed away. Whilst we were waiting for our food we heard her yelling at the staff and it was all very awkward. BUT.... then the food came out and it was beautiful, every dish was cooked to perfection and so fresh and delicious. Service from all the other staff members was friendly and welcoming. Will defiantly come back for the food not the service.

We went with two medium pies, which is enough to leave you satisfied. The Diavola pie had spicy salami, peppers, and sausage and we went with the chicken mushroom pie as well.

The margherita pizza was nice, from the crust thickness to the level of sauce. That plus a glass of white wine was a great combination to take a break from our city exploring. Did not try the pasta dish but there were no concerns there. Service was attentive as it seems we went at a quiet time (~ 1:30 pm) when there were just other groups seated and chatting. The seating is comfortable and the patio area does not have the greatest view, but just being in The Rocks district still has its perks. Recommend getting the specials!

After calling up and booking a table we arrived 15 minutes early which they went and seated us at our table with out any worries. After reading through the menu for 10 minutes we ordered our drinks but didn't order our food just as yet. Once we did order our food it was a bit slow in coming out at least half an hour wait. While watching other tables receive their food and arriving after us we did get a bit hungry and impatient. But once the food arrived it was delicious I had fettuccine avocado chicken which was delicious. There was also spaghetti marinara, bbq chicken pizza, chicken alla pollo boscailoa, but in my opinion the knock out meal for me was the home made pesto gnocchi, that was delicious!! Yum! I'd come here again. But hopefully next time it not be so long a wait to get your food. 4/5

If you can stomach the terrible service, this place actually has pretty great food…read more Came here when no one else was and thought maybe my party was in for it when the waitress left us unattended for several minutes before visiting our table. My girlfriend had to finally call over someone to get attention. Had to wait four minutes for our waters and for about twenty minutes later for food. The waitress was easily confused and unfamiliar with the menu. Thank god the chef is not as incompetent. Between us, our party ordered nuggets from the kids menu, fish and chips, chicken schnitzels, and a chicken almond salad. The chicken schnitzel comes with fries and a full side salad, which is pretty awesome. The Caesar "side" salad was a full salad with ham slices. A little overdressed but other than that the salad was big and filling. The chicken was breaded and cooked well, appropriately sized and seasoned. It was probably the first thing I consumed. Personally I enjoyed the chicken and fries with Ketchup like a true American. Not a big fan of the aioli dip like everyone here seems to be. Fries were very crisp and tasty. The fish was fresh and also done right. Most of the food was cooked on the well side but it was all very good. Recommending ordering out.

You need someone to tell you about it and that's why I've been debating writing this review. I'm not sure I want any more people to know about this local favourite. It's hard enough to get a table as it is but share I will, I believe in Karma. The Italian influenced menu changes weekly and is told to you by your waiter when you're seated. It's such a subtle but important element to what I love about this place. It requires that you're paying attention - that you're in your environment and not lost in the text of a menu. It makes you sit down and share an experience with your fellow diner. Very small thing but it really sets the evening up. The dining room is pretty small and the tables compete for space but the acoustics and feel of this place really work. Buzzy yet intimate. I've been for several meals here and the food is consistently spectacular. The restaurant is BYO but it's a Fine Dining experience, so it makes this place very appealing on the pocket. Now go and tell them I sent you. I might even get a table myself if you do!

Our table was in a little spot near the kitchen, somewhat cramped but serviceable. The menu is explained by the waiter, and provided on a card, with no prices attached. Sounds great, and we take due time to decide. Lovely bread and oil provided to nibble on, and in due course we are ready to order. And eventually a staff member noticed. Unfortunately between the time we get a menu and the slightly longer than we would have liked time when the staff decided to take our order half of the things we wanted were no longer available. This really irritates me, as there is no excuse for such a shortfall of produce. Nevertheless, we manage to find suitable substitutes and get our food under way. Our antipasti platter was pretty ordinary - I wouldn't bother ordering this as there was nothing particularly memorable on the platter. Although, to be fair, there was nothing particularly memorable about the whole meal. The stuffed zucchini flowers entree was probably the pick of the night. A veal cutlet came out looking like a rib-eye on the bone and was not cooked as requested. The duck was ordinary, and in general we were quite disappointed. In my opinion the preparation time for the meal was excessive - we waited a bloody long time for service. As if this wasn't bad enough the staff seemed determined to ignore us and never offered us a desert menu or even coffee, although all the tables around us seemed to manage both. We may give it another try, but I struggle to see why I would. Better to be had in the area, IMHO.

The host Antonio is a real entrepreneur and even being such a young establishment this place is constantly evolving with something new every time I come here - and I come here quite a bit! Let's talk food: Pizzas - simple, perfectly woodfired, chewy, crispy crusts, my fav is 'The Antonio' Salads - they're all good but 'The Speckarella' is unique and a must try Pastas - I like spicy so my recommendation is the sausage pasta Desserts - they have a special 'Cherry Ripe Ravioli', it's not on the menu but if more request it I'm sure they'd be forced to make it a regular. Dessert pizzas to share are also delectable.. Simple and tasty is the theme here Great coffees, cosy yet eclectic and authentic feel of being at home with a great alfresco area and vege & herb garden to add that touch of warmth and fuzziness. This place is forever adding to and evolving so be sure to come back again and again and again for a different experience everyone.

I went to La Botte D'oro with a friend once, half the challenge was walking there as she was…read morecertain that she was too hungry to walk two blocks and I barely was able to stop her from buying some prawn crackers from a Chinese Restaurant en route. We got there and took our seats outside. The seats were already outside, we didn't rearrange the furniture, but we sat outside on seats that had been placed there at the start of the night. We ordered some food and drank our wine. The restaurant is BYO wine only. She knocked her wine over and onto my lap. We had a laugh. I cried inside. That was my best lap. This wasn't the best experience of La Botte D'oro, but I must say that the food was amazing and the service was also really good. So what I'm going to do now is an old literary technique. I'm going to fast forward to another time I frequented this restaurant. It's a cool autumn night and the moon is aglow in the sky. I walk with my family, from our various cars, to the restaurant in question. We sit inside and chat briefly over wine, and yes we "Brought (Y)Our Own" though the restaurant is licensed as well and my brothers choose beer over the fermented grape drink. We order food and there is some mild confusion as some of us have ordered the same dish, but received slightly variying platefuls. We sort it out with our friendly waiter and more prawn is on the way. A slight blight on the night, but alright. They were out of octopus and, I guess, didn't think we'd notice, but we are eagle eyed and once resolved relax back into an enjoyable meal. Desert comes and I steer clear, I'm not a sweet-toothed person, but everyone else seems to be enjoying it. Overall, La Botte D'oro has its faults but when the faults are rectified there's nothing stopping you from enjoying a good night out with delicious food, BYO wine and good or okay company. I recommend the seafood.
