  • star rating  We dropped in on our weekend escape to the coast and the food was amazing. The seafood linguine was legitimately the best I've ever had and my wife raved about... read more the pizza. The staff were very accomodating and the manager(possibly owner) recommended an amazing cab sav from the margaret river. This place is a hidden gem and we'll be back every time we are in the area. Food, service, atmosphere all 10/10.

    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  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  Stefano and the crew, what can I say other than WOW?! The care, passion and dedication to craft is presented in the best Italian food I have had outside of... read more Italy. From the wood fired oysters, to the perfect Neapolitan style pizzas with a crispy, chewy crust perfectly cooked. If you have the opportunity to stop in Milton overnight do yourself a favour and stop off here. To top it all off the desserts and perfectly suited wine list will do you wonders. The Guild in Milton, a place to remember.
