10/10 would recommend - fourth time dining here and the food is consistently good, service great (shout out to Gwen behind the bar). I don't usually like bar seating but I'd highly recommend bar seating here - as Gwen brought the vibes! Vodka pasta is an absolute must - non-negotiable! More

Great thin-crust pizza. As good as you would find in northern Italy. Loved the ambiance, very funky and with a New York photographic theme. The names of the pizzas are too funny: “Can you pig it?” Highly recommended! More

Be prepared to wait. Despite having a reservation, we still had to line up outside upon arrival. Once seated, we were placed directly in front of a frozen machine that emitted heat—on an already 30-degree day—making it extremely … More

went during aperitivo (?) hour
at the time i booked only outside seating was available, which is not very pleasant due to being right next to a road, but the inside did look very nice
our waiter (guy w curly hair and glasses) was very nice and attentive throughout
ordered truffle fries for $5 due to the aperitivo hour discount (UP $13). unfortunately i wouldn’t say they’re really value for money, they were cold when they arrived and only the truffle pieces themselves tasted of truffle. portion size is about right for $5 but i would expect better quality, or there isn’t really a point offering a discount if it’s not up to standard.
we got the shrimply irresistible pizza & it was very good, loved the garlic. good attention to detail as shrimp were cut up small so you don’t have to bite into whole ones, noticed sea salt flakes that made the pizza better.
overall, pretty good and i would return

Ok. So loathe to share. Excellent. 5 star on nearly all levels. Tbh the tastes on the amazing foccacia, lobster roll, salad - i’d skip the pizza and double down on all the other features on the menu. Lemoncello cocktail fantastic, Negroni is great - ask for just 1 ice cube 😉. One feedback on the pizza, not just us, is it’s a bit tasteless, not salted, hence the need to offer additional sauces. Work on the pizza and place would be amazing. Either way - you need a reservation!

11/10. Absolutely exquisite.
We ordered the set menu package and the value for money was brilliant. We left with full stomachs and smiles on our face.
The team at the bar were super friendly and chatty which gave this place a great vibe, thanks red haired English lady and Italian moustache man.
Our server (Suede) [awesome name btw] was a darling and was super quick with her service and making sure everything was top tier.
Make sure you get here ASAP for a wonderful experience.

SOOOO GOOD!!!! Came here for antipasto hour last weekend for a long overdue catchup with a friend. We ordered everything apart from the salami and everything was 10/10. The GF focaccia was no joke the best gluten free bread I have ever tried. (My non GF friend also loved it!!) Sicilian olives were chefs kiss as was the ricotta in the lemon oil! $10 spritzes were the icing on the cake. Please keep this going forever as I want to come back every weekend haha. We were so full we couldn’t even get any pizza but can’t wait to try it next time :) great service too. Thanks team!

Always love coming here and making the trip to Manly for the Alla Vodka sauce. Pizzas are so flavourful and the dough + crust is so crunchy and fluffy.
Music can be a bit loud depending on where you sit, which can make it a bit hard to have conversation.
It's always busy so I recommend making a booking if you plan to visit.
