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.

Established in 1992, La Ricetta is located in vibrant and cosmopolitan Enmore. During the past 12 years it has earned a reputation for exceptionally high quality, seasonal Italian cuisine with both locals and theatre patrons alike. La Ricetta offers that

The pasta's pretty good, I particularly like the use of chitarra (egg spaghetti), but it wasn't good enough to justify the extreme prices. The ragu had one really tendy and tasty chunk of meat but the rest of the pieces were quite chewy - nowhere near as good as the cheaper ragu I got from La Favola. The other pasta was the big problem: I ordered carbonara specifically because the menu makes no mention of cream - I prefer it without cream and it's hard to find a restaurant that does it without cream. Well, La Ricetta uses cream. Disgraceful to not include that in the list of ingredients.

Itâs always been there and for some reason for the entire 4 years we have been living here we never went there. A recommendation from an Italian was all it took for us to go this Italian restaurant!In a small sentence?4 years lost!Aperitivo is an amazing late discovery! The space is amazing, the staff friendly as and the food... ohhh the food!!!! Yummy yummy! It is refreshing to go for dinner and actually be able to speak to the person in front of you! The environment is not loud (which for me is a major factor) and is actually a very cosy environment!We went there on a Wednesday and Friday we were already having the pizza delivered!!We will definitely going back!!Donât lose 4 years like us and go to Aperitivo! You wonât regret it!( sorry... no food fotos!! It was all gone before we could pick the phone up for a pic... I told you! Yummy yummy!!! )

Very much looking forward to this after doing some research. Did the degustation menu which is good value at $155 for Sydney. The first three tasters were porcini crackers, nut tart and egg, porcini and tart were excellent. Next a crab and macadamia dish, very smart. The Aguachile was one of my favorites, tuna and beetroot, amazing presentation, textures and flavors. The meat agnolotti was my least favorite dish, quite oily/greasy. Hapuka was good and the lamb similar but loved the baby turnips as the side. The two desserts were stunning, would rate the White chocolate and sudachi a little ahead of the buffalo. There is value to be found on the wine list. We had a entry level chablis.The chef was on holiday but the kitchen was coping well. Friendly service from staff. The 4/5 rating is because I was a little underwhelmed as a few courses did not live up to my expectation. But certainly very good value for Sydney.

The restaurant has good environment and is well presented. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. We ordered Vegetarian dishes and all were very tasty. The pizzas were also very good. Parking is available in nearby Shopping plaza.

Extremely tasty food. Prompt and cheerful service. Our party consisted of three generations. Quite small, so gets very crowded and noisy - if weather permits, larger parties can be accommodated on the balcony

Grappa, Grappa...where have you been all my life? This restaurant is the reason I'm writing my first review on TripAdvisor. If you're a foodie, then you've hit the jackpot. The food is absolutely stunning. We had the prosciutto figs with gorgonzola and pistachios and for mains the ravioli and maltagliati. All so fresh and delicious. What I loved most about the ravioli was the sauce. It tasted so delicate and fresh with big halves of sweet cherry tomatoes. The service was excellent with attentive waitresses and a friendly owner weaving through the tables and helping out. They had a great children's menu (and the restaurant had a relaxed family vibe too). I had a glass of the shiraz which was to die for. My water glass was never empty and I loved the white tablecloths. Yes you could go somewhere else for a cheaper meal, but why would you? I have lived near Leichhardt for 10 years and only discovered this gem tonight. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger...I'll be back.

This little cafe in Norton Street is great value for money. We visited for an early dinner with our dog and were well looked after on an outside footpath table. The waiter was most obliging in ensuring they could cater for food intolerances and he made us feel very welcome. The meals were not complicated and expertly prepared. It was a treat on a week night when we didn't feel like cooking and on the whole a positive experience.

There used to be a huge selection of excellent Italian restaurants along Norton Street but many of them appear to have disappeared. I guess is the result of the significant parking charges imposed by the local Council.However Moretti's is an excellent example of what used to be here. The food is excellent. They certainly serve pizzas but there is a long list of other genuine Italian food choices available.Lovely décor, level access and high chairs. Indoor seating only. Not cheap but worth the expenditure.
