Lucio's Italian Restaurant was established in Paddington in 1983 and enjoys a remarkable reputation for exceptional Italian food and magnificent Australian Art. "Food and art for me is like the air that I breathe," says Lucio Galletto OAM. "The combinatio

I donât like leaving bad reviews and so I thought a lot about doing this, but having had a couple of experiences lately where the great reviews donât match the experience, I donât understand the positive reviews for this restaurant. I had dinner here with my friends, one of the entree pastas was on the much too chewy side of al dente, the prawns were on the verge of not being fresh; the fish was ok but the Jerusalem artichokes it was served with were rubbery on the outside and slightly slimy on the inside - they tasted like they had been reheated several times. The duck was grey and over cooked. The dessert list was unappetising so none of us ordered any. The service was overbearing, and the restaurant itself was too brightly lit. It was terribly overpriced for what was significantly below average food. The nicest thing was the outside entrance, which was pretty. We had tried to eat there a few times before and it was fully booked, and the night they had a table available the restaurant filled up so it seems pretty popular, but I really donât understand why.Thank you for your feedback Aussie 11.I am sorry you have had some recent bad experiences, apparently including your meal at Lucioâs.As you mentioned the majority reviews of our restaurant have been great, and for good reason.Our hard working staff in the kitchen and on the floor are in this industry and in our restaurant to bring the best experience possible to all of our guests. Your review is so very disappointing for all of us.Your criticism of our food is completely at odds with current dinerâs comments and our commitment to freshness & quality, but of course mistakes can happen. Our staff would have been more than happy to replace or offer an alternative to any dish, however it would seem in this instance there was very little you were happy with.For that we are sorry but ultimately it is clear we are not the restaurant for you and we wish you happier dining elsewhere.RegardsSally Galletto

Like most beachside areas Coogee looks a bit forlorn in the off-season and on any day where the sun is not shining. There are many restaurants in the main strip, both European and Asian, many quite appealing but all in the "eat it and beat it" category.Around the corner in Alfreda Street is Osteria Coogee which is as close to "fine dining" as this suburb is ever going to get. The restaurant is large, well decorated in light colours and overlooking Coogee Oval which can be pleasant for some in both summer and winter. I watched the cricket when I was there.The menu choice is completely Italian but changed mainly in presentation to suit modern palettes. The principle is that all dishes are shared between two, so one normally gets multiples of entrées, and quite a bit less of mains. Or at least that's the sensible option. My companion and I had five dishes in total, and they were simply perfectly cooked. My companion had a beautifully cooked dessert which I thought a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I'm excessively conscious of sugar.Nearly all the wines are European and sold by the glass. A very good cellar. It is rather more expensive than the run-of-the-mill restaurants in the area, but it is a significantly superior experience. I was both surprised and very very pleased.Hi Maxmagusn44,Thank you for your review!I am glad to hear you enjoyed your experience and I will be passing along your review to our team.

I had dinner here with a friend this week. The menu was purpose prepared to showcase Italian dishes matched with traditional Italian wine varieties. From the beginning to end everything was spot on. Highlights for me included from the entrees the Heirloom beetroot & buffalo mozzarella salad, pickled green tomatoes, puffed wild rice and the Grilled calamari with preserved lemon, crispy herbs and toasted breadcrumbs served with Stefano de Pieri Fleurieu Vermentino 2018 and the Stefano Vino Rosato to the main dishes favourites: the cooked to perfection Paccheri pasta, slow braised duck and swiss brown mushroom ragu, and the Potato & chestnut gnocchi with Tuscan cabbage, porcini mushrooms, parmesan & burnt butter served again with choice of either Altero Sangiovese or Montepulciano 2018. The Italian cheese platter and assorted mignons at the end were just the prefect way to end a delicious and relaxed evening meal. The service is also spot on. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Had dinner here with 7 friends. Was excited at the set dinner menu.Canât fault the food (5/5)However, the service and delay in drink orders (sometimes needing 3 reminders) was hugely disappointing. They could benefit from a great manager that can instil some really good service principles in the wait and bar staff (1/5).Also had issues with a final bill - they added a compulsory gratuity.Overall disappointing. Giving this place a 3/5 ratingThank you for your feedback.

I always considered this place the bees knees of pizza... and gelato in Sydney.... but having been back after many years Iâve since had much better/more traditional pizza and gelato.Iâm not sure if this place has changed hands or lost touch but the pizzas were bland and lacked flavour. The price was also ridiculous for what you got... tiny portionsGelato as so watery..... not creamy and tasty like I remember it being on par with Messina. Iâm sad to say this place has gone down hill since the early 2000s when it opened! Only thing that was good was the service, nice people & helpful. So the 2 stars are for the staff not the food! Or value for money

Looking down over the iconic Bondi Beach, the Tratt is a true Sydney local. For 32 years this restaurant has served modern Italian food made from the best Australian ingredients and a full bar offering Australian and Italian wines, spirits and liqueurs. U

The Bondi restaurant scene is constantly changing, but the Tratt remains a reliable local favourite. After the most recent facelift itâs cooler and more expensive than before. But the prices are still reasonable, the service is high standard, and the food ranges from good to very good. If in doubt, the pizzas and pasta never disappoint.Thanks for your kind words. We took over the Tratt just over two years ago now and we did give it a little facelift, but we wanted the space to continue being relaxed, but professional and overall welcoming. Somewhere for a fancy date night, somewhere for a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine, somewhere for a breezy breakfast, and many things in between. We make pasta in house now, and the sourdough culture for our pizzas is two years strong now too. We hope we're not too cool though!Thanks again, we look forward to welcoming you again soon at the Tratt.
