Excellent food. Highly recommend. All courses were delicious and the service was excellent. The vegetarian options were especially well flavoured particularly for a non vegetarian.

  Very good Italian restaurant in the heart of Milton. Pleasant host and good food. We tried the octopus and potato which I love having been to the Liguria region in... read more Italian. We followed this with the seafood pasta and risotto. Both dishes were delicious.

  This restaurant is part of a growing trend of really good restaurants in regional areas. However, this one really sticks out from the crowd. Fresh, cooked to perfection and lovely... read more service. A real slice of Italy, loved it. I was particularly impressed with the wine list - someone has obviously given this a lot of thought. And all reasonably priced considering the quality. As a postscript: I loved reading the negative reviews of this place - they were so funny (and so far off the mark!).

  WOW!! We are so glad we were able to experience the wonderful food and service at The Guild whilst holidaying from Melbourne. From the minute we walked in the service... read more was second to none. The food came out promptly and was fresh and delicious. Stefano was so lovely taking time to speak with us at the end of our meal and we can see his passion for true Italian food. We will definitely be back and thank Stefano and his staff for a wonderful evening. 10/10!!!

  My wife and myself went for dinner after a last minute booking. As an Italian living abroad, finding a good Italian restaurant in a small country town is not exactly... read more common. The guild goes beyond that.
We had gnocchi, pizza, risotto and dessert. Couple of great wines paired by the owner, Stefano, who was very friendly and chatty. $80 each, more than reasonable considering the excellent quality.
A must if you’re in the area.

  We recently visited Milton and had the good fortune to select The Guild for dinner. Being huge fans of Italian food and having visited Italy many times, it was a... read more delightful surprise to find in The Guild a refreshingly interesting Italian menu coupled with superb wine suggestions and exceptional service.
This really is an excellent restaurant and we cannot recommend it enough.
Just superb all round!

  Without hesitation THE BEST Italian meal I’ve ever experienced. Beats Norton St, Lygon St, the lot. Every dish is reinvented in unique and stunning ways. Fabulous Negroni to kick off,... read more and a great wine list. The oysters and scallops were so stunning that we were surprised that the mains could compete - but the risotto with beef and walnuts was insanely great, and the seafood spaghetti was on a galactic level. Then the tiramisu. Had them all? Then try this one. Geez!
Milton is privileged to host this talented team, delivering just stunning dishes. Oh, and there’s pizza too

  Good food; good Australian service. Table for four just hopelessly impractical-far too small for four dinner plates, 4 bread plates; plates for two side dishes; 4 each wine and water... read more glasses; water carafe; candle. But had the table been much larger conversation would have been impossible because of the high noise level. Hard surfaces; a kid nearby encouraged to test the reverberation; the usual quota of people who go out for dinner to shout at each other...
The king fish main and king fish risotto were excellent. The Farmers Wellington showed signs of pre-cooking and re-heating, served suspiciously quickly and the pastry was too hard. Deserts were served without forks - and only two were provided when asked for. Serving tiramisu in a jar so it must be eaten vertically is a mistake. Outside dining on a warm night preferable but the outside tables have stools not chairs, so not a real option.

  We stopped in here for dinner one night when we were staying nearby and I am so glad that we did.

The food was delicious and fresh and the... read more service was good.

I would come here again.

  We had high expectations based on the excellent reviews, and we were certainly not disappointed. The menu contained all the traditional pasta and pizza favourites, but our entrees of lightly... read more seared tuna and scallops, with flavours like coconut and lime (and potato juice!) were fantastic, and absolutely not what we expected. The gnocchi and salad we shared were also excellent, as was the complex affogato desert. The wine list is extensive, the ambience was fine, service could not be faulted, and price was reasonable for the quality of the meals presented. I'm struggling to find anything that was less than perfect, but maybe some additional wines could be available by the glass as well as by the bottle. The owner Stefano was very generous with his time to explain the menu and check how we were going with our meal. Bravo!

  My wife and I shared a delicious pizza and salad here and enjoyed it immensely. The wine was also very good and well priced.

  Our dinner here was a highlight of our very wet trip to the Shoalhaven area. Only had mains (Kingfish and pappadelle), both exceptionally good. And Stefano's recommendation for a suitable... read more wine was perfect. Pleasant ambience. Have already recommended The Guild to several friends.
