Conrads Pizza and Pasta Bar

After a day's sailing on Lake Macquarie, we (11 of us) found this little restaurant tucked away at Summerland Point. It is a delightful, family run restaurant with authentic dishes that will please all the Italian cuisine lovers out there. Although I chose a steak, it came with a great, creamy sauce that really enhanced the meal. Freshly steamed vegetables were included, not an extra. The others had different pasta dishes, and all their dishes were cleaned at the end of the meal. The meals were quite a hearty serve. All agreed - Yummy! Next time I am having the marinara/seafood pasta as my friend next to me had. All I could hear were moans of delight as it disappeared. Although fully licensed, I saw that corkage is a mere $2.00 per bottle - wine only. The service was really personal without being obtrusive and hard to fault. Kaitlin is a delightful young lady who made us feel special.While we sat outside under cover, we could see that inside was less casual with linen tablecloths and a solo guitarist providing a delightful atmosphere. If you are after a casual group meal in an al fresco setting or a more intimate, formal dining experience inside the restaurant, I don't think you will be disappointed. Meals (including pre-dinner snacks) and alcohol was less than $30.00 per head. Great value.

Fantastic views of Manhattan, Jersey City, and the Statue of Liberty.

Governors Island has great potential and I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately it fell very short for me.

Perfect city getaway for the day to relax and hang out with friends.

We recently tried the breakfast at Conrad's Pizza and Pasta Bar, which now offers breakfast options. My partner had a delicious omelette with mushrooms that he couldn't stop raving about. We also visited for just coffee and I highly recommend it to anyone in Gwandalan/Summerland Point. Enjoy your coffee by the water, but make sure to get it from Conrad's Pizza and Pasta.
