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.

One of the best meals I've had in Australia…read more We had no idea what this place was like, we were just up at the north end of the Hunter Valley and saw it listed no our wine tourist map as a place to eat and phoned ahead for a reservation (it was a Sunday at 2:30pm and places were closing). We got in and I'm so glad we did. It's Italian villa style. The dining rooms have arches and iron chairs and Mediterranean accents. The outdoor patio is relaxed, covered and sunny. When we arrived people were playing bocce on the back lawn. My wife and I shared one of their large pot roasts, lamb in our case. It was absolutely delicious. We love food served like this, meat and veg and seasonings all slow-cooked together. It was very European and a perfect excuse for a long, slow lunch on a hot, sunny afternoon. The wine list had an extensive selection of Italian wines. For those worried about air miles they also have a selection of wines - by the glass and bottle - from a winery just down the road. The atmosphere was continental and perfect, with happy families, leisurely lunchers, and lots of wine. The service was exemplary, and all delivered with a smile. If you believe a great meal requires a great experience as well as great food, The Beltree is a spot worth seeking out.

Lovely Tuscan staples like rabbit and porchetta augmented with fusion dishes make this a pretty faultless nook of bella Italia in the heart of Hunter wine country. The panna cotta and the peach sorbet bellinis both have to be tried to be believed.

A Taste of Authentic Italy! We'd heard great things about…read moreWhen in Rome, so were keen to finally check it out for ourselves last evening, during a visit to friends in the region. SO glad we did! Everything was perfect.... the decor, atmosphere, service and that beautiful meal. We felt as if we'd stepped through a portal and straight into Old Italia itself! My vodka penne was to die for, and my companions adored their pizza and ragut. The tiramisu was the lightest I'd ever tasted. Even my macchiato was perfect, lacking that bitter bite you so often get. Gianna - and her warm, friendly, efficient staff - made sure we wanted for nothing all evening, and we were absolutely delighted with the experience. My only regret? We live in the Blue Mountains....too far away! But we'll DEFINITELY be back at the first opportunity. Fabulissima!!!

Unfortunately I won't be returning until the seating is improved. There is more to a restaurant than the food. If you are uncomfortable, even fantastic food isn't enough. So sad because the kitchen staff do a fantastic job to have it ruined by the seating. I'll stick with take away.
