Lillino - ROTHBURY

I went there with my wife for dinner. We ordered Luigi's Luigine each, and they were really good.The service was great and the waitress was very friendly.It is a nice spot as well, and they have very cute dogs at the entrance.Recommended!

LOVE! Went for a belated Mother's Day lunch and basically ate though the menu.<br/ <br/ Started with bruschetta (served on thin pizza base, not bread so it was nice and light and anti pasti. We then moved on to the special eggplant (yum and scallops wrapped in prosciutto (so tasty ! The crumbed calamari was also great not too oily or greasy, nice light batter.<br/ <br/ We were there for a long lunch so next was a course of pasta all home made! Ravioli (probably the least favourite good pasta, tasty but not very strong flavours , gnocchi was awesome great balance, and the tagliatelle veal ragu was amazing!<br/ <br/ Next up was suckling pig and slow roasted lamb melt in your mouth. So good!! Both served with roast potato, green beans and cabbage. <br/ <br/ We finished off with the traditional pastry desert which was surprisingly light, and the best tiramisu ever!<br/ <br/ Portion sizes were generous, and service was great! Nice local wine list. Lovely view, would be nice to sit outside on a sunny day. Would be nice and cosy if the fireplace had a real fire in it (instead of an orange light! .<br/ <br/ Highly recommend!

Beautiful authentic restaurant in Rothbury. If your visiting the Hunter you must go. Beautiful hosts that went above and beyond to make sure my dad's birthday was memorable.I would go through everything we ate but there were 9 of us and every entree and main was amazing. We brought a birthday cake from Zumbo and they served them beautifully. We even got a song sung..

Totally wonderful food. OMG! Haven't had food this good for ages. We started by sharing the Capesante grilled Scallops wrapped in Pancetta with caramelized lemon rind limoncello. For our seconds, my partner had the Porchetta alla Sarda which smelled amazing and tasted even better whilst I had the special fish of the day, Pesce Spada ai ferri con pomodorini e basilica swordfish with a semolina, lemon and pepper crust served with tomato and basil which was oh so lightly grilled it just melted in my mouth. Wish everyone knew how to cook fish this well. The staff were very welcoming and very helpful with the wine suggestion. The owner even gave a few tastings to start us off. Will definitely eat here when we are again in the Hunter Valley.

By far our favourite place to dine while visiting Hunter Valley. The staff were super friendly and always made sure we were relaxed and having a great time, we cannot thank them enough for making us feel just like family. Our favourite dish was easily the linguine, though every dish we tried here was a stand out. Very much looking forward to visiting again! x
