Fine dining Italian restaurant located on Level 2 in the beautiful Strand Arcade building. For something a little more casual , try their other restaurant La Rosa , at the opposite end of the Strand.

Amazing ambience, service and food. The beetroot salad is delish for an entree and the ravioli is beautiful. Pork tenderloin was amazing! !!

Vicky Machinan

Great for a special occasion - service and atmosphere are top notch. The best Italian in Sydney is still A Tavola though..

Amazing service. Our waiter has a deep American accent & pauses for dramatic effect! Alfie the sommelier will intro himself when u sit down. Definitely a place for good wine & Italian food .

"To sage lasagna , or to handmade ravioli with spinach , ricotta , parmesan , gruyere , buffalo mozzarella and burnt butter sage ?" might be the hardest question you might ever have to answer.

Restaurant has a lot of ambiance, it's rather expensive but with that comes good quality food. The portions are quite small. I tried to ravioli and whilst it was tasty was small.

The pumpkin lasagna , ravioli , pork belly and fantastic Italian wine list
