    We were not the biggest spenders as we mainly ordered pizzas, we are not drinkers and we took our own birthday cake but we were treated with utmost respect and will definitely recommend this restaurant to all.

    I look forward to future visits and would love to try some of the very tempting desserts listed on the menu.

    Personally I'd like to see The Guild open for lunch. I visit Batemans Bay regularly and it would be a nice drive to Milton to have lunch, even if only on the weekend.

    Thank you to the host and staff for an enjoyable evening in a very pleasant atmosphere.

    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!

    star rating  Perhaps last night was an off night but the food was overall very disappointing. The grilled seafood platter was very bland and lacked creativity. We expected more for $42 per serving.

    star rating  We were recommended The Guild by numerous people, so our expectations were of, at least, pretty good food.

    Unfortunately, they were underwhelmed.

    The restaurant itself is... read more fine. A small establishment in a local shopping village. Comfortable, albeit they kept the door open all evening despite the cold.

    The waitstaff were pleasant and tried their best.

    The food was the primary issue. Our entree was incredibly generous, which was lovely, but was something we could have put together ourselves at home. I couldn’t tell whether the cheese was locally sourced or store bought etc.

    Our mains were pretty terrible. Meat was all at once very dry and over cooked, but at the same time, the fat wasn’t rendered, leading to a tough and chewy exterior. Edible but not enjoyable.

    The pizza was severely disappointing. It is certainly a trend to produce a pizza that is almost a pool of liquid on the plate, and in that sense, this pizza was very trendy. Very, very wet, cheese and sauce essentially mixed together into a puddle on the plate as soon as you moved a slice. The crust was crispy enough, but the base was completely sodden because of just how wet the topping was. It was also relatively flavourless.

    The desserts were...not recommendable. It appeared they were trying to do modern twists on classic dishes, when they should have stuck to basics. Tiramisu, when done classically and well, is perfectly delicious. This ‘take’ on tiramisu was plain, dull, devoid of everything that makes a tiramisu indulgent (the taste of coffee, the sponge). Thin, dry slices of ‘sponge’ (ie biscuit) between sandwiches of flavourless cream, topped with a small quirt of what I assume was intended to be a coffee syrup, does not a tiramisu make.

    To add insult to injury was the price. We paid around $150 dollars for two people, which is what we would pay in a big city establishment for significantly better food. We would have found the food more forgiving if they weren’t pricing themselves like a genuinely great inner Sydney Italian.

    These are all relatively easy fixes, and I think The Guild would be a lovely spot if the menu was reworked. Pizza should not lack its structural integrity, and meat should not be overlooked with under rendered fat. Basic technique problems that can easily be fixed, to complement a nice location and interior and a friendly, attentive floor staff.

    star rating  It is always disappointing when an owner / operator can't take feedback.
    On another platform the owner has not accepted the feedback provided.
    The food in this restaurant is actually... read more pretty good albeit on the upper end of pricing,but it is pretentious that they regard common soft drinks as poison...yeah they probably aren't great for you but have an offer other than snobby health drinks.
    Could not even get a glass of Moscato a wine largely produced only 90 minutes away from the favoured Milan that this establishment prides itself on representing.
    The biggest issue is the acceptance of Covid restrictions.
    We are Sydney based travellers who purposely travelled the south coast to support local businesses. We are not overly worried about covid but would expect that local businesses accept the current rules and not sit us virtually back to back with other patrons to squeeze in an extra cover.
    We were well within in 1.5 MTS of the other patrons. We ate our main and left.
    The owner Stefano needs to grow up and accept feedback and not just say 'stay at home if you don't like it". He will no doubt make comment here as well.
    We put over $3k into the local economy over a few days. If we all stayed home you would not have a business...just say thanks for coming and giving us a try and we can learn from the feedback.
