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

Based on high TA ratings we pre-booked this small but popular caffe for an early dinner.Our food choices were well cooked traditional pasta and meat dishes and the support of locals was obvious, including take-away service. By Sydney pricing standards the food was very good value and overall we had a very good experience.
8. Pizza Boccone

The best Italian restaurant in Sydney. Delicious handmade ravioli, generous and tasty portions of pasta. Pizza is like the one you eat in Naples, if not better. The chef is an Artist. Excelent service and friendly and helpful staff, if you could give more stars I would give it, go to Pizza Boccone and you'll come back for sure. Thank you!

Had dinner here on a Monday night ... restaurant was almost empty so lacked ambience and decor needs some updating as a bit dated. Had a wagyu rump ... was good but not memorable. Service was attentive as you would expect for a quiet night. Overall itâs OK but is in need of something to make it memorable. Respectable prices though. Not bad, not great ... average.

I stayed in the area and got pizza and a salad to go a couple of times. Both were delicious. Portions were bigger than expected. I would recommend.

A Tavola was recommended to us by friends who constantly dine here. Gorgeous establishment with lovely ambience. Service was faultless and very attentive. As soon as we were seated at the long marble communal table a plate of warm bread with olive oil and chilli was placed in front of us whilst we ordered our wine. For starters we got the natural oysters with aperol granita. Mains we shared the pappardelle con ragu and spaghetti alle cozze which both were absolutely amazing. I'm not much of a dessert eater however we shared the Cremino (again which was recommended) and it did not disappoint. Possibly the tastiest Italian food I have eaten ever! It was our first visit but definitely won't be our last. Do yourself a favour and get yourself here!.

I had dinner here last night to coincide with their new menu with one of my closest friends. We have both been coming here for a few years and consider it to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Sydney. Again last night we were impressed with everything from the friendly service right through to the cocktails to the delicious food and wines. It is truly rare for a restaurant to consistently deliver day-in-day-out, week-in-week-out month after month. A strong traditional Italian menu with daily specials. Baccomatto Osteria is one of these restaurants and you will be impressed. Strongly advise making a booking from mid week through to the weekends.

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.
