  • star rating  The staff and the ambience were great, the drinks were great, but unfortunately the meal was somewhat inconsistent. We had eaten there before, and that time it was fabulous. This... read more time however we were with friends that had a difficult dietary requirement and so we had carefully checked the menu online and notified the restaurant in advance, but tonight the menu was completely different to what was online and it threw our friend somewhat. Their partner ordered the pork belly as the main, but when it arrived it was literally burned to a crisp- no chef I know would have put that in a plate. The inner part was able to be eaten, albeit very dry, but the rest was completely inedible. The staff were very busy so our friend didn’t feel comfortable sending the meal back, as it would have meant that their meal would have been out of sync with ours. My meal of grilled seafood had 3 lovely small calamari tubes, 3 scallops, but the 3 tiny prawns were dry and over cooked, the octopus was completely unrecognisable as such with no suckers, and was a stingy little 3cm bit that was so dry it tasted like old chicken. The salmon was over cooked and dry. There was nothing else on the plate, not even some lemon to put on the seafood. I would have expected much better than this for the price of $42! My friends risotto was more like a sloppy soup, but she said the flavour was nice. The expensive broccolini side was nice in flavour but over cooked so the dish was full of water which detracted from the creaminess. My husband’s lamb rack was however perfect. Then the desserts, again inconsistent: the pannacotta was excellent, but my “deconstructed tiramisu” while nice simply wasn’t a tiramisu: there was no coffee at all except 6 drops decorating along the edge of the plate, certainly not enough to give any coffee flavour to the dish which was really 3 (very nice) tuille biscuits with what tasted like pannacotta sandwiched between. At the end, despite showing the waitress the poor pork meal when she took the plates away there was no apology or recognition. I would have expected an offer of a coffee or a rebate on the bill as a goodwill gesture, especially since the meals are not cheap. We probably won’t be back, as if you are paying top dollar for a meal you want to be sure you can rely on a well cooked meal.

    star rating  We stumbled upon this little gem whilst visiting Milton one day recently whilst holidaying in Mollymook. We happened upon the kitchen which is a completely seperate entity from the restaurant... read more and was really impressed by the food being prepared for later that evening. The Chef who we later learned came from Liguria told us all about the new menu and we were so excited we booked a table for the following evening. Married to an Italian and having traveled many times to Italy and lover of all Italian foods- this restaurant delivered one of the best meals ever. There was so much choice and we over indulged just to try some of the many dishes. We started with oysters cooked in the wood fired oven with pancetta and balsamic vinegar an Italian spin on kilpatrick which was very tasty and 3 quenelles of a whipped potato and red cod served with roasted cherry tomato and a salsa verde. Followed by a shared bowl of risotto al tartufo or truffles from chef/owner Stefano’s family in Italy. Perfectly cooked in a rich and earthy porcini and truffle cream. I’m sure there were a few more ingredients but I can only say OMG to die for!! Followed with the grilled fish platter for my husband. I couldn’t decide so I left it to the chef who delivered the best ever homemade squid ink spaghetti with a seafood mince and prawns. Perfectly cooked and the sauce was an ode to the sea. They also make pizza which looked fabulous from their wood fired pizza oven. We had no room for coffee or dessert. But next time for sure. Could not recommend anything better for a lovely evening with some of the best Italian food. Look forward to the next trip down to enjoy another meal.

    star rating  Initially the waitress was most engaging and helpful. I ordered the angus eye fillet and asked it to be cooked medium. I also asked if the dish came with accompaniments,... read more other than potato. Yes it came with broccoli and beetroot, so I did not need to order a side plate of vegetables. My eye fillet was not tender and under cooked, especially in the middle. No vegetables on the plate either. We did not see the waitress again, after she left the dessert menus. The restaurant was not overly busy. My partner's grilled seafood plate was a winner. I'd go back and try their italian cuisine. The takeaway pizzas seemed to do well. Ambience was lovely. Friends at another table all enjoyed their pasta dishes.

  • star rating  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!
